106 LXXV. HUBIACE^:. (J. D. Hooker.) [Webera. 



Very similar to W. WaUichii, but differing in the pedicelled ebracteolate flowers, 

 and more obtuse calyx-lobes, and the seeds, which arc deeply excavated ventrally. 



16. W. lucens, Hook. f. ; quite glabrous, leaves small linear-oblong- 

 narrowly elliptic-lanceolate obtuse or acute black and shining when dry, cymes 

 sessile, branches spreading, flowers pedicelled, calyx ebracteolata, teeth short 

 triangular, corolla-tube equalling the linear lobes, throat pubescent. Pavetta 

 sp.,edd. FL Sylv., For. Man. 134/8. P.? lucens, Br. in Wall. Cat. 6168.

NILGHERRY and TRAVANCORE MOUNTAINS, Hcync, Wig Jit. 



A bush, very black when dry. Leaves 2-4 by 3|-1 in., rather coriaceous, nerves 

 6-7 pair; petiole very short; stipules triangular. Cymes 1-2 in. ; lower bracts often 

 foliaceous. Corolla % in. diam., 4-o-cleft. Style hairy; stigma slender fusiform, 

 .shortly exserted. Ovules 1 in each cell. Fruit size of a large pea, sometimes oblong 

 and diseased ; calyx-limb persistent.

VAR. 2. leaves obovate. Coffea Grumelioides, Wt. Ic. t. 1041. 



tf Tube (or tube and limb in W. campaniflora) of corolla longer than the 

 lobes. 



17. W. campaniflora, Hook, f. ; leaves elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate 

 acuminate above glabrous or scaberulous beneath pubescent or glabrate, nerves 

 12-15 pair, cymes sessile or deflexed in bud hirsute, flowers sessile and pedi- 

 celled, calyx hirsute teeth ovate-lanceolate, corolla puberulous, tube short, limb 

 carnpanulate, lobes short ovate acute. Styiocoryne Webera, Wall. Cat. 8401 K. 



CHITTAGONG, Bruce ; Scetakoond, J. D. H. $ T. T. ; Burkul, C. B. Clarice. 



A large bush or small tree ; branches rather slender, glabrous, except the young 

 shoots. Leaves 4-12 by 2-4 in., nearly black when dry, membranous, usually shining 

 above, beneath hispidly pubescent or puberulous or glabrate, nerves slender ; petiole 

 \-\ in., hispid or glabrate ; stipules triangular, cuspidate. Cymes at first sharply 

 decurved, at length horizontal or stiberect, 1-3 in. long, lower branches spreading ; 

 bracts persistent, lanceolate, lower stipuliform ; flowers ff in. long, when pedicelled 

 ebracteolate at the base ; buds with a very short tube and large fusiform acute limb. 

 Calyx-teeth longer than the ovary. Corolla-limb ^^ in. diam., throat glabrous, tube 

 villous within. Anthers long, sessile. Style short, hairy; stigma very long, fusi- 

 -form, curved, grooved. Ovules solitary in each cell. A very remarkable species ; the 

 corolla is quite unlike that of any other. A Malacca plant in young fruit of Griffith's 

 (Kew Distrib. 2795) may be it, as also a Mergui one of Griffith's in Wight's Her- 

 barium, also in fruit only. 



18. W. canarica, Hook. f. ; glabrous, leaves elliptic ' or oblanceolate 

 acuminate glabrous on both surfaces, nerves' about 15 pair, cymes small sessile 

 few-fld. puberulous, branches very stout, flowers shortly pedicelled ebracteolate 

 at theTbase, calyx obconic obscurely toothed, corolla-tube cylindric about twice 

 as long as the linear lobes, style pubescent. ? Pavetta canarica, Bedd. FL Sylv., 

 For. Man. 134/8. 



SOUTH CANARA ; on the Grhats, Beddome. COCHIN, WigJit. 



Branches stout. Leaves 6-8 by 2-2^ in., dark green when dry, membranous ; 

 petiole - in. Bracts short, triangular. Buds 1 in., cylindric, obtiise ; corolla-lobes 

 linear, half the length of the tube or more, throat glabrous, tube villous within. 

 Anthers sessile. Style pubescent; stigma very long, narrowly fusiform. Ovules one 

 in each cell, on large placentas. Doubtfully identified with Beddome's insufficient 

 diagnosis. 



19. W. ? nilag irica, Hook. f. ; young branches pubescent, leaves obovate- 

 lanceolate subcaudate-acumiuate pubescent beneath, nerves 12-15 pair, cymes
