 obtuse, quite entire in some Himalayan, often toothed in Javanese and Sikkim speci- 

 mens, often punctate beneath ; petiole -1 in., glabrous or subpilose. Corymb termi-

 coriaceous sinuate or sinuate-dentate glabrous with tufts of hairs in the axils of" 

 the nerves beneath, corymbs minutely pilose upwards, bracteoles f in. linear,,

NILGHEBBY MTS., alt. 4-7500 ft., frequent ; Mayaburam, Sir F. Adam. 



A large shrub, doubtfully distinct from V. coriaceum by the densely pubescent 

 yellowish corolla. The fruit resembles that of V. coriaceum, var. capitellata, but the 

 leaves are rarely entire as in var. capitellata, and are less acuminate. 



SECT. II. Pseudo-Tinus. Cymes corymbose or umbellately divided* 

 Drupe succulent, 1-celled, compressed ; endocarp slightly intruded. Albumen 

 ruminated, margins incurved. 



11. V. cordifolium, Watt. Cat. 462 ; leaves elliptic cordate acuminate 

 sharply serrate, stellately pubescent on the nerves beneath, corymbs not radiant 

 terminal sessile stellately hairy, corolla rotate. DC. Prodr. iv. 327 ; H. f. fy T..

TEMPEBATE HIMALAYA, alt. 9-12,000 ft., from KUMAON to BHOTAN, frequent. 



A large shrub, flowering before leafing. Leaves 4i by 2 in., nearly glabrous 

 above, parallel-veined ; petiole -1 in. Corymb in flowe'r small dense, in fruit 3-5 in.

 little compressed. Seed dorsally with one shallow furrow, ventrally with much in- 

 flexed edges,; testa full of red glands following the ruminations of the albumen. 

 V. lantanoides, Michx., of N. America, has broader less serrate leaves, the corymbs 

 usually radiant and the normal flowers much smaller ; V. furcatum, Blume, of Japan,, 

 is almost identical with V. lantanoides. The three are closely allied and united by 

 Miquel in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. ii. 265. 



SECT. III. Tinus, Oerst. (genus). Cymes umbellate. Drupe dry, hard,, 

 blue. Albumen ruminated.
