WESTERN PENINSULA, from the Concan southwards, and CEYLON, common. 

 DISTRIB. Malay Islands. 



A large shrub or small tree, glabrous except the cymes sometimes, almost olive- 

 llack or brown when dry. Leaves 3-8 by |-3 in., coriaceous, shining above, often 

 glaucous beneath ; petiole short, stout ; stipules very coriaceous, acute or mucronate, 

 often sheathing. Cymes and flowers very variable in size, faintly odorous. Calyx 

 glabrous or pubescent; limb shortly or deeply lobecl, lobes glabrous or ciliate. 

 Corolla |~| in. diam., lobes glabrous or puberulous within, white. Style hairy or 

 glabrous. Berries size of a pea, with the calyx-limb persistent or not. A very 

 variable plant. Var. cerifera of Thwaites, from Ceylon, is remarkable for its very 

 coriaceous leaves, and the copiously resinous secretion at the nodes. &c. ; a character, 

 however, of usual occurrence, according to Roxburgh. S. rigida. Wt., is a robust 

 small-leaved form. 



2. W. odorata, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 15 ; FL Ind. i. 699 ; leaves elliptic- 

 lanceolate acuminate glabrous, cymes many-fid, pubescent, flowers pediceiled, 

 corolla-tube slender pubescent shorter than the linear lobes. W. macrophylla,

SILHET, ASSAM, and the KHASIA MTS., De Silva, Griffith, &c. (Kew Distrib. 3009). 

 MUNEYPOOR, C. B. ClarJce. PENANG, Roxburgh, Wallich. 



A shrub, black when dry. Leaves 5-9 by 2-3 in., membranous ; petiole short ; 

 stipules acute, deciduous. Cymes large, corymbose ; bracts linear ; pedicels slender. 

 Calyx minutely toothed. Corolla-tube % in., lobes nearly twice as long. Ovules few. 

 Berries " size of a pea " (Roxb.). I find no difference between the flowering specimens 

 from Bengal and Penang, but havo seen fruits of neither. Roxburgh describes the 

 berry of the Penang plant (macrophylla) as " many-seeded, as in W. corymbosa" that 

 of the Silhet one (odorata*) as having only 3-4 ovules in each cell. This differs from 

 corymbosa in the slender pubescent corolla-tube and the bracts. 



3. W. disperma, Hook. f. ; leaves elliptic- or linear-lanceolate acumi- 

 nate glabrous, cymes pubescent many-flowered, corolla-tube broad pubescent 

 shorter than the "lobes, berries 2-seeded. 



SILHET and the KHASIA MTS., Griffith (Kew Distrib. 2786); alt. 1-4000 ft., 

 J. D. H. $ T. T. 



A shrub. Leaves olive-brown when dry, 4-10 by 1^-3 in., very variable in width ; 

 petiole |-| in. ; stipules triangular-lanceolate. Cymes shortly peduncled, more robust 

 shorter and fewer-flowered than in W. odorata ; calyx larger obtusely-toothed. Corolla 

 similar, but with a broader tube. Ovary with 2 ovules in each cell (rarely more), 

 sunk collaterally in a large spongy placenta. Berries very much larger, \~ in. diam., 

 with one hemispheric seed in each. A Bornean species (Beccari, 380) resembles this 

 closely in foliage and flowers, but I have not seen its fruit.
