DBCCAN PENINSULA and CEYLON ; in the lower hills, frequent. 



Scandent, ramous ; branchlets minutely pubescent or almost villous. Leaves l^ 

 by in. (those of the lateral branchlets half as large), acute, base obtuse or almost 

 rounded, glabrous; nerves few, obscure; petiole ^ in. Cymes usually 3-1 -flowered; 



S'icels j-f in. Calyx-teeth , rarely in., glabrous or very nearly so. Corolla-tube 

 in. ; lobes f by ^ in. Carpels ^ by j in., uhsymmetric, ellipsoid. In the habit 

 leaves this species closely resembles J. sessiliflorum, with which it has been mixed 

 from the days of Eottler. 



23. J. Ritcliiei, Clarke; leaves .ovate or elliptic shortly acuminate 

 glabrous, cymes few-flowered lax, pedicels long, calyx-teeth linear short, fruit- 

 carpels large globose. 



WESTERN GHATS and CEYLON, in the hills frequently collected ; Nilgherries, Wight,. 

 Gardner ; Bababoodun Hills, Law ; Belgaum, Ritchie, &c. 



Scundent, ramous, glabrous or nearly so. Leaves attaining 4^ by If in., base 

 broadly cuneate; nerves 5-6 pairs, prominent, often tufted in the axils ; petiole in. 

 Cymes very lax, often subpaniculate, 3-9-flowered ; bracts ~ in., linear ; pedicels 

 -1 in. Calyx-tube campanulate, often somewhat ribbed ; teeth -|- in. and upwards, 

 linear or shortly oblong, sometimes minutely ciliate-scabrid. Corolla-tube % in., lobes 

 | in., narrow. Carpels ^ in., very accurately spherical. Named J. angustifolium by- 

 Wight and Ritchie, from which in flower it does not differ much but by the larger 

 leaves ; the fruits are unusual.

Bolimputty near COIMBATORE ; Wight, n. 1 762. 



Branches flexuose. Leaves 3 by f in., or some more ovate, attenuate into the 

 petiole, penninerved ; nerves obscure ; petiole |-| in. Cymes terminal ; bracts in., 

 linear; pedicels - ^ in. Calyx-teeth^ in. Corolla-lobes - in. wide, acute. Fruit 

 not seen. The leaves are punctate beneath, the cyme somewhat divaricated, the 

 calyx-teeth separated by a very wide sinus. It may be allied to J. arborescens var. 

 montana, but it is very glabrous.
