Scandent; branchlets villous. Leaves 4 by If in., acuminate, base obtuse, mature 

 hairy at least beneath, coriaceous ; nerves few, remote ; petiole \ in. Cymes terminal 

 compound, and on short lateral branches ; bracts in., linear ; pedicels or | in. 

 Calyx-teeth ^ in. Corolla smaller than in any of the preceding species ; lobes in., 

 narrowly lanceolate. Carpel ^ by ^ in., ellipsoid. 



ft Calyx glabrous (the series proceeds from the species with long to those 

 with short calyx- teath). 



15. J. cordifolium, Watt. Cat. 2858 ; leaves cordate-lanceolate acumi-

Scandent, glabrous. Leaves 4 by 1| in., coriaceous; nerves 7 pairs, the lowest 

 divaricate, secondary obscure ; petiole ^--f in. Cymes often 20-flowered, shortly 

 repeatedly trichotomous ; bracts \ in., linear ; pedicels in. Calyx-teeth -^ in. 

 Corolla-lobes f in., elliptic, acute. Carpels nearly ^ by ^ in., ellipsoid. Gr. Don says 

 the leaves are 3 -nerved, the cymes pubescent, which will not apply to the present 

 (nor to any Nilgherry) species ; Wight has noted in his Herb, that J. erectiflorum, 

 A. DC., is J. cordifolium, Wall.

Scandent, glabrous. Leaves 4 by ] in., very acute, base obtuse sometimes cordate, 

 membranous ; lowest pair of nerves strong, carried along the margin, upper slender, 

 distinct, resembling the secondary; petiole in. Cymes slender, on short lateral 

 branches sometimes leafy, but more frequently altogether .axillary; bracts in., 

 linear; pedicels % in. Calyx-teeth ^-f in. Corolla-tube | in., lobes 7-10, often 1 in. 

 Carpels ^ by ^ in., ellipsoid ; calyx-teeth in fruit often thickened, divaricate, stellate. 



VAR. silketensis, Blume Mus. Bot. i. 271 (sp.) ; corolla-lobes a little shorter than 

 the tube. J. trinerve, Wall. Cat. 2848, chiefly. Silhet. J. trinerve, Vahl, is defined 

 as having the corolla-lobes only half as long as the tube ; but, after all the labours of 

 Blume, it may be a question whether the Indian plant is other than a form of it, as 

 Eoxburgh considered. 



17. J. subtriplinerve, Blume Mus. Bot. i. 272 ; leaves elliptic-lanceo- 

 late acuminate glabrous 3-nerved, cymes 1-7-flowered axillary and terminal, 

 calyx-teeth linear, corolla-lobes oblong acute shorter than the tube. J. trinerve,
