188 LXXV. EUBIACE^:. (J. D. Hooker.) \Loisiantlius. 



gularly toothed. Corolla infundibular ; tube glabrous, hardly exceeding the calyx- 

 limb ; lobes ft, triangular-lanceolate, narrow, villous within. Ovary 7-celled. Drupe 

 unripe, glabrous, crowned with the tubular calyx-limb. This very fine species is by 

 the stipules and other characters closely allied to L. Helferi, next which it should 

 rank though it has minute bracts. 



37. Zi. Blain g- ay i, Hook.f. ; branches petioles nerves beneath and flowers 

 minutely substrigosely appressed-pubescent, leaves large shortly petioled elliptic- 

 oblanceolate or elliptic-oblong membranous acuminate, base acute, nerves 7 pair, 

 veins strong sparingly reticulate, flowers densely clustered sessile and shortly 

 pedicelled ebracteate, calyx-teeth 4 triangular minute. 



MALACCA, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 871). DISTRIB. Sumatra. 



Branches slender for the size of the foliage, minutely granulate, pale yellowish red 

 when dry, and rather rough to the touch. Leaves 8-10 by 2^-3 in., pale greenish 

 when dry, thinly scaberulous beneath, opaque on both surfaces, nerves oblique : petiole 

 in. ; stipules very small, in., triangular, acute, strigose. Flowers crowded. Calyx 

 short, pubescent. Corolla funnel-shaped, in. long, puberulous or glabrate ; lobes 

 pubescent within. Drupe not seen. 



38. I*, pterospermus, Wight in Cole. Journ. Nat. Hist.vi. 510; branches 

 petioles and nerves beneath glabrous or finely puberulous, leaves subsessile oblong 

 or elliptic-oblong acuminate, base rounded often oblique rarely acute, nerves 

 10-12 pair, veins reticulate, flowers sessile crowded hispid, calyx-teeth triangu- 

 lar, pyrenes 2-winged. 



MALACCA, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 2929), Maingay (866). 



Branches as thick as a crow-quill. Leaves 4-7 by 1^-2| in., pale brownish when 

 dry, rather coriaceous ; petiole ^ in. ; stipules oblong-lanceolate, in., strigose. 

 Flowers numerous, bracts very minute or 0. Calyx hispid. Corolla glabrate. Drupe 

 large, \ in. diam., globose, glabrous, black, crowned by the shortly tubular calyx- 

 limb ; pyrenes 3-5, trigonous, with a longitudinal wing on each side of the convex or 

 keeled back. Wight is in error in calling the stipules small. 



39. Xi. Wig htianus, Hook. f. ; branches petioles and leaves beneath 

 scaberulous or strigillose, leaves petioled oblong acuminate rigid, base subacute 

 or rounded, nerves 12-13 pair, veins branched and reticulate, flowers sessile 

 clustered ebracteate, calyx-teeth triangular. L. venosus, Wight in Calc. Journ. 

 Nat. Hist. vi. 514, not of Blume. 



MALACCA ; on Mt. Ophir, Griffith. 



Branches very stout, woody, brown. Leaves 3-4 by 1-1^ in., dark brown when 

 dry, midrib and nerves very strong beneath, pubescent on both surfaces ; petiole ^ in., 

 stout; stipules -|- in., broadly triangular or lanceolate, coriaceous, hirsute. Flowers 

 few. Calyx in., fulvous-pubescent. Corolla (in bud) hirsute. Drupe not seen.

40. Zi. constrictus, Wight in Calc. Journ. Nat. Hist. vi. 515 ; branches 

 petioles stipules and nerves beneath sparsely strigose, leaves petioled oblong- 

 lanceolate acuminate, base acute, nerves 5-6 pair, veins loosely reticulate, flowers 

 small sessile crowded subebracteate, calyx constricted at the base of the cupular 

 shortly 4-toothed limb. Kurz For. Fl. ii. 31. Mephitidia sp., Griff. Notul. iv.
