Hoya.~\ xcv. ASCLEPIADEJS. (J. D. Hooker.) 55 



Follicles 4 in. long, very slender. This approaches an unnamed Javanese species, but 

 the leaves are more fleshy and the column different. 



10. H. revoluta, Wight mss. ; quite glabrous, leaves ovate or ovate- 

 lanceolate acuminate very thick and fleshy, margins strongly recurved, peduncles 

 long slender, corolla revolute villous within, column conical. H. ovalifolia, 

 Wall. Cat. 8160 b. 



MALACCA, Griffith, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1127). SINGAPORE, Wallich. 



Stem climbing. Leaves 1^-3 in., midrib and nerves not visible, base acute ; 

 petiole ^- in., very thick. Peduncle equalling the leaves ; pedicels very slender. 

 Sepals ovate. Corolla ^ in. diam., pink. Coronal-processes membranous, united into 

 a conical vertically 5-lobecl column, each lobed again, longitudinally folded and pro- 

 duced upwards into an acute point. 



11. H. mi c rant ha, Hook. f. ; quite glabrous, leaves ovate or elliptic- 

 lanceolate acute very thick and fleshy, margins flat, peduncle long or short, 

 corolla revolute pubescent within, column conical. 



TENASSERIM ; Mergui, Griffith. 



Stem rather stout. Leaves 2^-4 by lj-l in., midrib and nerves not visible ; 

 petiole very short. Peduncle shorter than the leaves ; pedicels \-\ in., filiform. 

 Sqmls ovate, obtuse. Corolla -|- in. diam. Coronal-lobes lanceolate, suberect, 

 outer angle 2-fid, back with a boss ; anther-tip much longer than the process. 



12. K. lacunosa, Blume Bijd. 1063; quite glabrous, leaves ovate or 

 rounded-ovate acute base rounded margins thickened, nerves horizontal, peduncle

 Borneo. 



Stem slender, twining. Leaves 1-1 in., very thick, but nerves distinct beneath, 

 3-5 pairs, base rounded ; petiole very short. Peduncle longer than the leaves ; 

 pedicels ^ | in. Sepals very small, ovate, obtuse. Corolla in. diam., pubescent 

 within. Coronal-lobes ovate, inner angle produced into an ovate obtuse lobe almost 

 as large as the body, incumbent on the anther (which has no tip?). This differs from 

 the Javanese H. lacunosa, in the much larger inner produced angle of the coronal- 

 processes. 



ft Corolla in. diam. and upwards, rarely less ; lobes usually spreading 

 or incurved. Leaves flat in all. 



a. Leaves very small, rarely more than 1 in. long. 



13. K. Nummularia, Dene. mss. ; stem slender minutely rough, leaves 

 very small orbicular shining, flowers many in very long-peduncled umbels. 



KHASIA MTS. ; at Moosmai, Griffith. 



Stem creeping and rooting, angular (when dry). Leaves f in. diam., Chining and 

 reticulate on both surfaces ; petiole |- in., rather slender. Peduncle 2 in.] pedicels 

 |-| in. Sepals ovate-oblong. Corolla % in. diam., "white, pubescent," Griffith. 

 Coronal-processes too young for description. Resembles Dischidia khasiana. 



14. H. serpens, Hook.f. ; stem very slender minutely rough, leaves very 

 small suborbicular opaque papillose on both surfaces, flowers many on long 

 peduncled umbels, corolla tomentose within, coronal-lobes ellipsoid.
