limb. The Assam specimens have smaller flowers and a more slender calyx-tube. 

 No. 2356 of Griffith's collection from E. Bengal ? differs from the above in having 

 nearly sessile leaves and flowers. It is probably distinct, but the specimen is too 

 incomplete, and the locality somewhat doubtful. 



24. E. albiflora, Duthie in Journ. As. Soc. Seng. xlvi. (1877) pt. ii. 68 ; 

 Kurz For. Fl. Brit. Burm. i. 491 ; leaves obovate or nearly ovate shortly and 

 bluntly acuminate acute at the base, cymes from the upper axils or termi- 

 nating older shoots few-flowered shorter than the leaves, calyx-tube narrow and 

 slender below, lobes 4 rounded or subacute, petals united white. 



BURMA, alt. 1000 ft., Griffith (2419). 



A small tree with terete branchlets. Leaves 3-5 by 2-2 in., smooth, pale and 

 indistinctly nerved above ; lateral nerves rather distant and prominent beneath faintly 

 uniting within the margin, interspaces finely reticulate ; petiole g- in. " Buds white " 

 (Griffith MSS.}. Calyx-tube about in. long. 



Pedicels shorter and more erect. 



25. E. fusiformis, Duthie; young branches 4-gonous, leaves petioled 

 obovate-lanceolate cuneate below subcoriaceous pellucid-punctate, lateral nerves 

 rather close, cymes terminal compact branches angular and somewhat winged, 

 flowers 2 or 3 together on short pedicels, calyx- tube narrowly fusiform much 

 produced above the ovary. 



MALAYA, Main g ay No. 743. 



Bark yellowish. Leaves 4| by 3 in., shining a little above, minutely dotted ; 

 midrib and nerves dark-coloured ; lateral nerves uniting within the margin ; petiole 

 about f in. Calyx-tube in. in length and in. across at the widest part ; lobes 4, 

 rounded, reflexed after flowering. Style persistent, exserted portion equalling the 

 calyx-tube. Closely allied to No. 2236 of Beccari's Borneo plants. 



26. E. Iseta, Ham. in Trans. Wem. Soc. v. 338 (excl. syn. Humph.) ; 

 leaves rather thin shortly petioled ovate-lanceolate attenuated at the base with 

 a longish obtuse acumen pellucid-punctate, primary nerves directed upwards 

 not distinctly uniting within the margin, peduncles terminal and axillary 1- 

 few-flowered often jointed in the middle, calyx- tube long cylindrical tapering 

 to the base, stamens crimson or purple numerous exceeding the large rounded 

 petals, berry ovoid. Jambosa Iseta, Blume Mus. Bot. i. 104. 



Moist Western Ghat forests from BOMBAY southwards, Hamilton, Beddome, Gibson, 

 Ritchie, Stocks. 



A small or middling-sized tree; branchlets terete, Leaves 4-5 by 1^-1| in., 

 secondary nerves crossing the primary ones more nearly at right angles with the mid- 

 rib ; petiole 5- in. Flowers large, 2-3 in. when expanded, crimson or white. Calyx- 

 tube f-1 in. ; lobes rounded, unequal, reflexed when in flower. Petals white, 

 glandular. Style 1^-in. persistent. Hamilton's type specimen in the British Museum 

 from Mysore is certainly identical with the Western Ghat specimen named S. pauci- 

 flora in the Kew Herbarium.
