88 xcvi. LOGANIACE2E. (C. B. Clarke.) [Strychnos. 



large, many-seeded. S. colubrina, Blumc Humph, i. 70 ; A. DC. Prodr. ix. 14, 

 not of Linn, nor Wall. Eheede Hort. Mai. viii. t. 24. 



MAT.ABAR ; Eheede. 



Tendrils present ; branches stout. Leaves 3 by If in., base obtuse or rounded ; 

 petiole g in. Peduncles ^ in., axillary, 3-4-flowered ; pedicels ^-^ in. Berry 2^ 

 in. diam., globose. Seeds f in. diam., circular, discoid. Only known from Rheede's 

 figure, -which may be incorrect as to the flowers. It appears from Eoxb. Fl. Ind. ed. 

 Carey & "Wall. ii. 264, and from Beddome, that there probably exists a stout scandent 

 species in Malabar with fruit like 8. Nux-vomica. (See 16, 8. cinnamomifolia.') 



8. S. Maing-ayi, Clarke ; leaves elliptic acute 3-nerved glabrous, cymes 

 large dense very many-fld., corolla-lobes 5 linear-oblong 5 times as long as the 

 tube, ovary hairy upwards. 



MALACCA, Maingay (Kew Dktrib. nn. 1041, 1042). 



Branches glabrous ; tendrils (in the examples). Leaves 4 by 2 in., base obtuse; 

 petiole | in. Cymes 4 in., divided from the base, nearly glabrous 100-300-flowered. 

 Calyx glabrous, margin obscurely pubescent. Corolla ^ in., throat villous, tube hardly 

 any. Filaments linear ; anther-cells ovate, hairy. Style twice as long as the ovary. 

 Berry not seen. 



VAB. ? fructuosa ; bearing tendrils, berry 2^ in. diam. globose, rind thick, seeds 

 many | by ^ in. oblong-ellipsoid, testa silky, albumen horny, embryo small. Penang ; 

 Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1038). This may be the fruiting state of S. Maingayi, 

 or of some totally different species. The seeds closely resemble those of S. Ignatii. 

 Bergius (Bentl. $ Trim. Medic. PI. t. 179). 



** Corolla-tube longer than the calyx, not much longer than its lobes. 



9. S. laurina, Wall. Cat. 1591 ; leaves lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate 

 3-nerved glabrous, cymes large compound fulvous-pubescent, ovary hairy 

 upwards, berry 1 in. diam. globose 1-2-seeded. A. DC. Prodr. ix. 13; Senth. 

 in Journ. Linn. Soc. i. 102 ; Kurz For. FL ii. 166. S. ovatifolia, Wall. Cat. 

 1592 ; A. DC. I c. ; Senth. I. c. 103. 



CACHAE ; Keenan. PEGU and TENASSERIM to SINGAPORE, common ; Wallich, 

 Griffith, &c. DISTRIB. Burma, Malaya. 



Tendrils often in pairs ; branchlets glabrous. Leaves 5 by 2 in., lanceolate, or 

 in S. ovatifolia, Wall, 5 by 2^ in. and ovate-lanceolate, 3- or sub-5-nerved ; petiole 

 \ in. Cymes 2-5 in., axillary and terminal, sessile (or in 8. ovatifolia peduncled) ; 

 pedicels 0-^~ in. Calyx glabrous, or margin obscurely pubescent. Corolla in., 

 villous within ; tube rather longer than the lobes. Anther-cells oblong, slightly hairy. 

 Style much longer than the ovary, hairy downwards. There are no tendrils on 

 Wallich's example of 8. ovatifolia, which Mr. Bentham considers, though imperfect, 

 to indicate a distinct species. 



10. S. septemnervis, Clarke-, leaves elliptic acute 5-7-nerved glabrous, 

 cymes stout large fulvous-pubescent, ovary hairy, berry 1 in. diam. globose 

 1-seeded. 



MAXACCA ; Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1036). 



Scandent, Maingay. Leaves 4 by 2^ in. ; petiole in. Cymes 2-5 in., sessile, 

 very many-fld. Calyx puberulous. Corolla | in., villous within ; tube about as long 

 as the lobes. Anther-cells oblong, hairy. Style longer than the ovary, hairy down- 

 wards. Perhaps only a large-flowered variety of S. laurina, but the nervation of 

 the leaves differs considerably. 



11. S. Beddomei, Clarke; leaves elliptic acute 3-nerved glabrous, cymes 

 small fulvous-pubescent, ovary hairy, berry in. diam. globose 1-2-seeded. S. 

 laurina, Thwaites Enum. 201. S. colubrina, Wall. Cat. 4455, second sheet 

 only.
