MALABAR GHATS, Ritchie ; Bababoodun Hills, Law. 



Perhaps a var. of J. arborescens, but much more hairy, and with shorter calyx- 

 teeth. Leaves not acuminate, sometimes obtuse, base broadly cuneate or scarcely 

 rounded, mature softly hairy on both surfaces. Cyme somewhat lax, many-flowered. 

 Calyx densely fulvous-villous teeth ^-^ in. Corolla and fruit as in J. arborescens. 



11. J. syring-aafolium, Wall. Cat. 2861 ; leaves ovate-lanceolate acu- 

 minate glabrous, cymes lax trichotomous minutely pubescent, calyx-teeth short 

 linear erect pubescent, corolla-lobes shorter than the tube. DC. Prodr. viii. 306.

Scandent; branchlets glabrescent. Leaves 4 by 1| in., broadly cuneate or the 

 lower leaves rounded at the base, coriaceous ; nerves 3-5 pairs, prominent beneath ; 

 petiole - in., mostly pubescent. Cymes terminal and axillary, 12-20-flowered ;

 scarcely in., narrow, acute. Fruit-carpels | by \ in., unsymmetric, ellipsoid. Kurz 

 (Journ. As. See. 1877, pt. ii. 242) refers this species to J. scandens, which has the 

 cymes much denser, the calyx-teeth divaricate, the corolla-tube shorter.
