Habit of W. exserta, but with smaller (4-6 by 2-3 in.) nearly glabrous elliptic 

 leaves, which are more membranous, with fewer (10-12 pair) of nerves, and longer- 

 calyx-tubes often smaller panicles and nearly glabrous capsules ; stipules very 

 variable. 



3. W. Wallichii, W. $ A. Prodr. 402, in note-, branches glabrous or 

 puberulous, leaves opposite elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate acuminate at both ends 

 glabrous or puberulous on the nerves beneath, stipules very caducous broad 

 rounded, panicle pubescent, calyx glabrous teeth short triangular, corolla-tube 

 a little longer than the lobes. Watt. Cat. 6269 B., in part (tinctoria).

An erect nearly glabrous shrub ; branches swollen at the nodes when dry. Leaves 

 3-7 by 1- 2 in., rather coriaceous ; nerves 10-12 pair, prominent beneath; petiole 

 ^ | in.; stipules so deciduous that I found only one in ten specimens, it is imper- 

 fect, broad, and apparently acute. Panicle moderate. Flowers like those of W.

 slender tube ; anthers included or exserted. Stipules more or less persistent, 



t Calyx-teeth shorter than the tube.

A small tree. Leaves 4-8 by 2-4 in., always narrowed into, the petiole, glabrous 

 and often shining above, paler rarely glabrous beneath, oftener pubescent on the 

 nerves, sometimes tomentose all over; nerves 10-12 pair; petiole -f in. Stipules 

 variable in length, always with erect points. Panicles large, spreading, pubescent 

 pilose or tomentose ; flowers sessile, fascicled, white, in. long ; corolla-tube usually 

 slender, the lobes forming a capitate not ovoid head ; anthers shortly exserted. Stigmas 

 oblong. There are two principal forms.

Branches robust, glabrous. Leaves 4-5 by l-2 in., rarely obovate or subacute, 

 nerves 6-8 in Heifer's specimen, 8-12 in Wallich's. Panicle robust. Corolla slender, 

 lobes very small. This may be a form of W. tinctoria, with which it is perhaps
