slender. Cymes few-fld., peduncle -1 in., bracts small, pedicels very short. Sepals 

 small, 3^ i n - Corolla-tube 1 in., very slender, lobes falcately linear-oblong. Filaments 

 slender. Chary narrowed into a style much shorter than the tube, stigma large, 

 2-partite. Follicles -1 by - in., 2-4-seeded, beak straight or upcurved. 



12. T. calycina, Wall. Cat. 1677, and m Bot. Reg. under t. 1273 ; 

 glabrous, leaves elliptic-lanceolate obtusely acuminate, cymes short-peduncled, 

 bracts subulate persistent, sepals linear-lanceolate acuminate very unequal, 

 corolla-tube swollen above, ovary very short. Kurz For. Fl. ii. 173. 



TENASSERIM ; Gomez. 



Foliage similar to that of T. rostrata, but petioles rather longer ; pedicels very 

 short indeed ; bracts sometimes linear-oblong and almost leafy in texture ; sepals very 

 much longer, one-third as long as the corolla-tube, which is very slender, | in. long 

 and swollen at the top ; ovary not elongate, but almost hemispheric. I have seen 

 but one specimen. 



13. T. malaccensis, Hook. f. ; glabrous, leaves elliptic-obovate or 

 -lanceolate obtusely acuminate or caudate, cymes sessile or shortly peduncled 

 few-fld., pedicels slender, bracts 0, sepals unequal subulate-lanceolate acuminate, 



v corolla-tube slender inflated at the top, lobes narrow, follicles turgid recurved 

 beaked 3-keeled few- or many-seeded. 



MALACCA; Griffith, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1061, 1062). 



A small shrub. Branches slender, very smooth. Leaves in flowering specimens 

 34 by 1-1 in., very membranous, in the fruiting specimens shorter and broader in 

 proportion sometimes nearly orbicular; nerves very slender, 6-8 pairs; petiole in. 

 Cymes very slender and few- or many- flowered, pedicels -1 in. ; flowers small. 

 Corolla-tube f in., lobes about as long, crumpled. Ovary short, top rounded ; style 

 long, filiform. Follicles ^-1 in., more or less recurved. 



14. T. membranifolia, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 175 ; glabrous, leaves elliptic- 

 lanceolate caudate-acuminate very membranous, not paler beneath, cymes sub- 

 sessile, bracts obsolete, sepals very small subulate, corolla-tube very slender 

 inflated below the middle, lobes linear-lanceolate much shorter than the tube. 



MARTABAN ; forests east of Tounghoo, Kurz. 



An evergreen shrub, 3-4 ft. (Kurz). Leaves 3-5 by l-l in., tips very long, 

 curved, nerves 7-8 pairs, very slender. Cymes short, many -flowered ; pedicels long 

 or short. Sepals subequal. Corolla-tube f in., lobes linear-lanceolate, acute, half as 

 long as the tube or less, forming very long narrow buds. Ovary ovoid, acute ; style 

 filiform, top elongate-clavate, truncate, stigma slender. Follicles not seen. 



DOUBTFUL AND EXCLUDED SPECIES. 



T. FINLAYSONIANA, Wall. Cat. 4452, without flower or fruit, is probably a native 

 of Siam, and is indeterminable. 



T. INDICA, Willd. Herb, in Steudel Nomenclator, cannot be determined without a 

 reference to Willdenow's herbarium. 



T. MACROCARPA, Jack., is a native cf Sumatra; and T. MONOCAHPA, Steudel 

 Nomenclator, is obviously a misprint for the same. 



T. PERSICARL3BFOLIA, Willd., Eoxb. Fl. Ind. ii. 27, is a Mauritian plant. 



T. OPHIORHIZOIDES, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 175 ; a glabrous shrub, 2-4 ft., leaves 3-5 

 in. obovate-oblong to broadly lanceolate shortly acuminate sessile or tapering into a 

 petiole of 2-3 lines membranous pale beneath, cymes 2-3 rarely more in the forks of the 

 upper branches, subsessile or shortly peduncled few-fld., pedicels 1-1^ lines, bracts and 

 bractlets minute deciduous, calyx 5- cleft very short, segments hardly 1 line lanceolate 

 acute, corolla-tube about 4 lines rather thick, apex inflated, lobes hardly half as long 

 as the tube. Hill forests of Martaban, alt. 3-5000 ft. frequent. I have seen no 

 specimen. 



T. WALLICHIANA, Steudel Nomenclator (T. parvifolia, Hoxb. Fl. 2nd. ii. 25 ; Wight 

 Ic. t. 393, by error pauciflora in letterpress}, is a native of Sumatra.
