above ; petiole very stout, ^-1 in. ; stipules some triangular-lanceolate acuminate, 

 others complicate broadly oblong, subacute. Peduncles 1-3, 5 |- in. Calyx small, 

 truncate. Corolla white tinged with rose ; tube 1 in. ; lobes in. Berry about f in. 

 diam. 



44. BRAC2IYTQZ72E, Hook. f. 



A. glabrous shrub or small tree ; branches slender, terete. Leaves petioled, 

 membranous, caudate-acuminate ; stipules triangular, acuminate, persistent. 

 Flowers polyganio-dicecious, white, small, in slender panicles. Cymes from the- 

 axil of an undeveloped leaf (hence leaf-opposed) ; 'bracts minute. Calyx-tube 

 oblong; limb cupular, 5-toothed, persistent. Corolla long or funnel-shaped - r 

 tube (in fl. $ shorter) within and throat glabrous ; lobes 5, short, twisted in 

 bud. Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla-throat ; anthers subsessile, included, 

 linear-oblong, imperfect in fl. $ . Disk in <j> small, in $ cupular. Ovary 2- 

 celled ; style filiform (short in ), stigmas 2, shortly oblong obtuse grooved ; 

 ovules very numerous, superficial on peltate tumid placentas. Berries small, 

 ellipsoid, 2-celled, many-seeded. Seeds crowded, cuneate, compressed, testa 

 thin reticulate, albumen fleshy ; embryo small, sub-cylindric. Perhaps better 

 united with Randia, but the habit and flowers are peculiar, and the seeds have 

 a reticulated testa.

Pale brown when dry. Leaves 5-9 by 1-2 in., oblong or obovate-lanceolate, almost 

 caudate-acuminate; nerves slender; petiole % in. Cymes short, irregularly branched, 

 2 in. diarn., lax-flowered. Corolla ^ in. long. Berry ^ in. long, crowned with the 

 calyx-limb. Griffith's specimens are marked Darjeeling, but as no other collector has- 

 found it in Sikkim, I suspect some error. 



45. ANOZftANTHODXA, Hook.f. 



A subscandent glabrous shrub ; branchlets soft compressed and inflorescence 

 hairy. Leaves bifarious, obliquely auricled ; stipules interpetiolar, triangular, 

 deciduous. Corymbs appearing supra-axillary (from the suppression of the leaves 

 at the flowering nodes) ; peduncles 3-chotomous ; bracts small, triangular, and 

 bracteoles persistent. Flowers small, white, sessile, polygamo-dioecious. Calyx- 

 tube turbinate ; limb cylindric or cupular, 5-6-toothed, deciduous. Corolla 

 salver-shaped, tube short, throat with reflexed hairs ; lobes 5-6, longer than the 

 tube, reflexed, twisted in bud. Stamens 5-6, subsessile on the corolla-mouth ; 

 anthers narrow, acute (recurved in the male), cells septate. Disk tubular. 

 Ovary 2-celled ; style stout, branches 2-lanceolate ribbed ; ovules many. Berries 

 globose, 2-celled, very many-seeded. Seeds minute, crowded, cuueate, testa 

 thick.
