A small tree, or on the low lands and near the coast a shrub, sometimes of consi- 

 derable si/.e with a climbing habit. Bark grey or purplf, spotted. Leaves very vari- 

 able in size, shape, margin, and surface. Leaflets 1-1U by ^-4 in.; terminal putiolules 

 ranging up to 1 in., lateral ones very short. Inflorescence 3-9 in. ; flowers yellowish or 

 white, clustered, small; pedicels short. /'///// red, shining, globose, | in. The r-ot is 

 said to be astringent ; the ripe fruits are eaten by the natives. According to \\i<jlit <k

An exceedingly variable species, widely spread in India and the Archipelago, and 

 perhaps extending to Afiica and America. Tl:e following is a rough key to the prin- 

 cipal forms, whit-hare, however, connected by various intermediate links : 

 Itacemes simple, solitary. Petals somewhat declinate. 

 Leaflets oval or ovate. 



Glabrescent or somewhat hairy. 



Leaflets crenate-dcntate. Bracts short racemosus. 



Leaflets serrate-denticulate. Bracts subulate serratus. 



Shoots and leaves very hairy villosus. 



Leaflets oval-oblong or lanceolate-acuminate. 



Leaflets subentire or serrulate. Bracts fchort glaber. 



Leaflets acutely serrate. Bracts long, linear Aporetica. 



Kacemes simple, 2 together. Petals not declinate, but the place of the 



fifth petal vacant distachys. 



Eacemes branched, solitary
