40 LXXV. RUBIACEJ). (J. D. Hooker.) [Wendlandia. 



Wallich's specimen alone seen ; well distinguished by the simply acute leaves and 

 glabrous calyx with long teeth. 



10. W. g-lomerulata, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1872, ii. 310 ; 1877, ii. 

 129 ; For. FL ii. 77 ; branches slender glabrous, leaves opposite narrow-lanceo- 

 late long-acuminate glabrous membranous, stipules large orbicular recurved, 

 panicle small pubescent, calyx hirsute, teeth much longer than the tube. 



TENASSERIM ; at Mergui, Griffith, Heifer (Kew Distrib. 2838), Kurz. 



An evergreen small tree or shrub. Leaves 6-7 by f-l| in., much attenuate at 

 both ends; nerves 12-15 pair; petiole ^-1 in.; stipules leafy, sometimes 2-fid, very 

 persistent. Panicle with slender branches. Corolla-tube funnel-shaped, twice as long 

 as the calyx-teeth. Stamens much exserted. Capsule hispid. The narrow leaves, 

 stipules, and hispid calyx with long teeth, well distinguish this species. 



B. Leaves usually 3-nately whorled (see also 6. W. glabrata). 



11. W. Notoniana, Wall, in W. $ A. Prodr. 403 ; Cat. 6273, 6267 G. 

 ( W. exsertd) ; robust tomentose except the leaves above, leaves usually 3- 

 nately whorled rarely opposite short petioled elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate 

 acuminate, stipules recurved with rounded or 2-fid. tips rarely straight and 

 acute, panicle pyramidal hirsute dense-fld*, calyx hirsute, teeth ovate-lanceolate.

Hills of the DECCAN PENINSULA, alt. 2-6000 ft., common. CEYLON, hills of the 

 central province, ascending to 7000 ft. 



A shrub or small tree. Leaves 3-5 by 2 in., coriaceous, rarely obovate, nerves 

 8-10 pair, strong beneath, not shining above, pale when dry, petiole - in.; stipules 

 variable, usually smaller than in W. tinctorla. Flowers reddish- white (Wight), 

 odorous. Calyx hairy, teeth variable in length. This is the southern representative 

 of W. tinctoria. 



VAR. 1. bicuspidata; leaves nearly glabrous longer petioled, stipules entire or 

 2-fid or divided into 2, calyx glabrous or hairy, teeth short obtuse. W. bicuspidata, 

 W. $ A. Prodr. 403. Mts. of Travancore and Ceylon. 



VAR. 2. zeylanica-, leaves nearly glabrous lanceolate narrowed into a slender 

 petiole, panicle pubescent very large and lax with long filiform spreading and droop- 

 ing branches, flowers scattered sessile and on slender pedicels, calyx quite glabrous, 

 teeth very minute. Ceylon, Thwaites. 



12. W. Lawii, Hook. f. ; branches and inflorescence tomentose, leaves 

 ternately whorled lanceolate obtuse pubescent on the nerves beneath, stipules 

 broadly triangular acute, panicles very large, branches 3-nate very slender erect, 

 flowers often long pedicelled, calyx hairy lobes filiform longer than the tube. 



MAISOR ; on the Bababoodan hills, Law. 



Branches slender. Leaves (upper alone seen) 3-4 by 1 in., quite glabrous above, 

 paler and almost shining beneath, nerves 8-9 pair, strong ; petiole in. ; stipules 

 short, broad. Panicle a foot long, softly downy with white hairs. Branches very 

 long and slender, forming a rather flat-topped corymb. Flowers laxly scattered, 

 mixed with subulate or linear bracteoles, most of which are not floriferous. Calyx- 

 teeth variable, sometimes short. Corolla-tube in., very slender. Closely allied to 

 W. Notoniana, differing in the form of the panicle and calyx -teeth. 



13. W. ang-ustifolia, Wight mss.; everywhere glabrous, leaves ter- 

 nately whorled narrowly linear-lanceolate acute, stipules triangular-ovate acute, 

 panicle slender pyramidal, calyx-teeth short subulate.
