104 LXXV. BUBIACE2E, (J. D. Hooker.) \_Wclcra. 



almost hispid ; bracts linear. Calyx-teeth subulate. Corolla-tube % in. ; lobes the 

 length of the tube, oblong. Bcwies size of a pea, with persistent calyx-teeth. Seeds 

 broadly cuneate, sides smooth, back granulate. Very near aBornean species (Beccari, 

 n. 1263). 



0. "W. mollis, Wall. Cat. 8454 (Rondeletia ?) ; softly tonientose, leaves 

 elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate acuminate, cymes open inany- 

 flowered with long spreading hairs, calyx-tube slender pubescent much longer 

 than the lobes, berries many-seeded. 



SINGAPORE, Wallich ; PENANG, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 894). 



A small tree ; branches robust, softly tomentose and covered with long spreading 

 hairs, as are the cymes petioles and midrib beneath. Leaves either broad", 6-8 by 

 3-4 in., or narrow 4-5 by 1-2 in., uniformly tomentose above, pale brown when dry ; 

 petiole short ; stipule large, ovate-lanceolate. Cymes subsessile, very many-flowered. 

 Calyx-teeth lanceolate, deciduous. Corolla-tube % in., 4 times as long as the oblong 

 short lobes. Berries size of a pea. Seeds angular. 



SECT. II. Pseudixora. Cells of the ovary 1-ovuled. 

 f Tube of the corolla shorter than the lobes. 



10. W. stellulata, Ifook.f. ; quite glabrous or nearly so, leaves elliptic- 

 lanceolate acuminate, nerves 7-9 pair, petiole slender, cymes small sessile or 

 shortly peduncled, flowers sessile 2-bracteolate, calyx-teeth ovate-lanceolate, 

 corolla-lobes longer than the tube, the minute subulate tips stellately spread- 

 ing in bud. Stylocoryne Webera, Wall. Cat. 840, 1. in part. ? Pavetta aristata, 

 Walt. Cat. 6160. 



PEXANO, Wallich, Griffith (Kow Distrib. 3086) ; MALACCA, Maingay (850) ; 

 ?TAVOT, Gomez. 



Branches slender, smooth, and whole plant either black or dirty green when dry. 

 Leaves 6-9 by 2-3 in., membranous, shining above, glabroiis or puberulous beneath; 

 nerves slender; petiole -1 in. ; stipules with a slender cusp. Cymes 1-1^ in. diam.; 

 bracts subulate-lanceolate, persistent ; branches short and calyx puberulous ; flowers 

 i in. long. ' Corolla with a ring of hairs in the throat ; lobes lanceolate, ciliolate. 

 'Style hirsute ; stigma long, fusiform, grooved. I have not in any specimens (I have 

 examined 7) found the corolla to open ; the stellate tips of its lobes are remarkable. 

 A mere scrap is on the sheet 8401 I. of Wallich's Herbarium, but good specimens 

 were distributed by him under that number to both the Hookerian and Benthamian 

 Herbaria. Wallich' s specimen of Pavetta aristata is probably the same, but I have 

 no other Tenasserim example. The nerves are more numerous, and it has longer 

 cusps to the stipules; it is in young fruit only. Maingay in his notes states that the 

 ovary-cells have several ovules ; I tiud only one in each. 



11. W. attenuata, Ilooli. f. ; quite glabrous, leaves elliptic-lanceolate 

 or oblanceolate acuminate polished above, nerves 5-7 pair very oblique, cymes 

 sessile or shortly peduncled brachiate glabrous lower branches rather long, 

 flowers pedicelled ebracteolate, catyx-teeth short triangular, corolla glabrous,, 

 lobes linear longer than the tube, "throat pubescent. Stylocoryne attenuata,

Cultivated in the Calcutta Botanic Gardens ; no doubt from China or the Khasia 

 Mts. ? DISTBIB. Hongkong. 



A shrub or small tree, black when dry. Leaves 3-4 by 1-1^ in., coriaceous, nar- 

 rowed into a petiole 5^ in. Cym(s 1-2 in. high, branches not divaricate except in 

 fruit; bracts and bracteoles on the pedicels small; flowers white, ^- in. diam., quite 

 glabrous. Stigma fusiform. Fruit size of small pea. There are no specimens of 

 this in Walli ch's Herbarium, but good ones were distributed by him to Herbariums
