leaf, other nerves obscure. Floivers usually 3, sometimes all solitary and terminal, 

 sometimes in compound many-flowered cymes ; pedicels not exceeding i in., by which 

 the species is known from all forms of J. laurifolium. Calyx-teeth \ in., shorter than 

 in J. anastomosans, glabrous in the Sikkim examples, minutely scabrid-pubescent in 

 the Khasian. Corolla-tube f in., lobes f by $ in.

 obscurely 3-nerved ; petiole i in. Cymes terminal and on shortened axillary branches, 

 peduncled or sub-sessile, 3-5-flowered; bracts | in., linear; pedicels ;- in., thickened.

KHASIA MTS., De Silva, H.f. 8f T. (cultivated in Ceylon, Kumaon, Mauritius, &c.). 



Scandent, glabrous. Leaves 2 by in., base obtuse or rounded, coriaceous, 

 definitely 3-nerved in the cultivated examples, more membranous and anastomosing 

 nerves more distinct in the native ; petiole in. in the wild, in. in the cultivated 

 plant. Cymes 3-5-flowered, terminal or long-peduncled and axillary ; bracts | in., 

 linear ; pedicels ^-f in., not much thickened. Calyx-teeth % in. Corolla-tube | in., 

 lobes f by in. Fruit not seen. Ker, whose figure of this species is excellent, 

 nevertheless says he could not distinguish it from J. angustifolium (by which Ker 

 meant J. sessiliflorum) ; it has 3-nerved leaves, the corolla-lobes much longer.

KHASIA MTS. ; De Silva. 



Scandent, glabrous. Leaves 5 by 1^ in., base cuneate ; primary nerves 8 pairs, 

 subequally distant, the lowest short; petiole in., not (or very obscurely) jointed. 

 Peduncles 1 -flowered (in the scanty examples) ; bracts obsolete ; pedicels 1 in. Calyx- 

 teeth % in., and upwards. Corolla and fruit not seen. The imperfect examples 

 represent a species, apparently closely allied to J. laurifolium, but the nervation of 

 the leaves is altogether different. 



21. J. sessiliflorum, Vahl Enum. i. 29 ; leaves small ovate, cymes 

 few-flowered, pedicels short, calyx-teeth linear long, corolla medium-sized tube 

 hardly so long as the narrow lobes. DC. Prodr. viii. 307. J. angustifolium,
