apetalous in the cultivated 8. chinensis (Lindley), but not usually so in the wild 

 plant. The Khasia examples have the fruits mostly sessile, agreeing thus more closely 

 with S. ckinensis than with S. javanica, in which the fruits are usually shortly 

 pedicelled. 



3. S. adnata, Wall. Cat. 482 ; a spreading shrub, leaflets often decur- 

 rent, stipules usually small or 0, drupes red. DC. Prodr. iv. 322; H.f. $ T. 

 in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 180. 



NIPAL, Wallich; Tambur Valley, alt. 5000-10,000 ft., J. D. H. SIKJUM; Singa- 

 lelah, alt. 10,000 ft., Gamble, C. B. C. 



A shrub, 4-8 ft. Leaves 12 in. ; leaflets 5-9, 3-5 in., oblong-lanceolate, puberu- 

 lous or nearly glabrous. Corymb usually leafy at the base, often 9 in. diam., 

 puberulous, bracteoles minute or 0. Corolla in. diam., broad-campanulate. Drupes 

 .^ in. diam., globose. 



3. VIBURNUM, Linn. 



Shrubs or small trees. Leaves opposite, rarely 3-nate ; stipules incon- 

 spicuous (in the Indian species). Floivers in terminal or subterminal corym- 

 bose or'panicled cymes, all fertile in Indian (outer radiant and neuter in some 

 European, &c., species). Calyx-tube turbinate or subcylindric ; limb short, 

 5-toothed, persistent. Corolla campanulate rotate or tubular ; lobes 5, equal. 

 Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla-tube. Ovary 1-3 -celled; style short, stigma 

 sub-3-lobed; ovules 1 in each cell, pendulous. Drupe 1- or sub-2-3-ceiled, 

 1-seeded. Seed oblong, compressed, concave on the ventral face or with the 

 margins greatly incurved ; albumen fleshy, uniform or ruminated ; embryo 

 minute. DISTRIB. Species 80, in N. temperate regions and in the Andes ; a few 

 in the West Indies and Madagascar. 



SECT. I. Eu- Viburnum {Oersted). Cymes corymbose. Dr-upe 1 -celled, 

 compressed ; endocarp not intruded. Albumen uniform, margins little incurved. 



* Corolla rotate or shortly campanulate, lobes spreading (in V. corylifolium 

 unknown). 



1. V. cotiuifolium, Don Prodr. 141 ; leaves ovate or elliptic base 

 obtuse usually woolly beneath, corymb-branches stellately tomentose, calyx 

 glabrous limb very short, corolla shortly campanulate lobes about as long as the 

 tube. DC. Prodr. iv. 327; Wight 111 t. 121, A fig. 1-5; Bot. Reg. t. 1650; 

 H.f. $ T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 174 ; Brandis For. Fl. 258. V. polycarpum, 

 Wall. Cat. 455; DC. I.e. 328. 



KASHMIR; alt. 6000-11,000 ft., to KUMAON, frequent. EAST BHOTAN; Griffith 

 (Kew Distrib. No. 3399). 



A spreading shrub, 5-10 ft. high. Leaves 3 by 2 in., obtuse or subacute, sub- 

 entire rarely coarsely crcnate, stellately-woolly at least when young, in age often 

 glabrous except on the nerves beneath ; petiole in. Corymbs 2-3 in. diam., generally 

 terminal, dense, branches stout ; bracteoles linear, equalling the calyx-tube. Corolla- 

 tube % by i in., glabrous, lobes round. Anthers large, subexsert. Style very short, 

 conical Drupe \ by | in., compressed, broad-oblong, red. Seed dorsally 2-grooved, 

 ventrally sub-concave 3-grooved. Leaves usually thick, reticulately rugose and 

 entire, but sometimes thin, glabrous, and somewhat strongly crenate. V. Lantana^ 

 Linn., differs but slightly by the denticulate leaves and shorter corolla- tube. 



2. V. corylifolium, H.f. # T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 174; branchlets 

 and large fruiting corymb rufous-hirsute, leaves ovate or elliptic base subcor- 

 date, softly hairy beneath.
