GardneriaJ] xcvi. LOGANIACE^E. (C. B. Clarke.) 93 



SINGAPORE ; Wallich, 



Branches softly hairy. Leaves 9| by 2f in., base cuneate or rounded ; petiole ^ 

 in. ; stipular sheath silky, f in. long, crowned by 2-4 teeth. Panicles 1-3 in. diam. 

 trichotomous, grey-pubescent ; lower bracts sometimes leaflike ; flowers clustered. 

 Calyx \ in. long and broad, campanula te, grey-pubescent. Corolla-tube \ in., lobes 

 i-| in. Anther-cells narrow oblong, immersed in the dense hair in the upper part of 

 the corolla-tube which hardly extends to the throat. This and the preceding species 

 are allied to G. longifolia, Bojer, and other large Mascarene species.

 nected by a stipulary line. Peduncles axillary, l-oo -fld. Calyx small, deeply 

 4-5-lobed. Corolla subrotate ; lobes 4-5, thick, valvate in bud. Stamens 4-5, 

 on the corolla-tube ; anthers subsessile, cells ovate, connivent or subconnate, 

 erect, exserted. Ovary 2-celled ; style cylindric, stigma shortly 2-lobed; 

 ovules 1 in each cell, on the dissepiment. Berry globose, 2-celled. Seed com- 

 pressed parallel to the septum, albumen fleshy ; embryo small. Species 2-3, 

 Indian and Japanese.

 FL Ind. ed. Carey fy Watt. i. 400 ; leaves elliptic acute, cymes trichotomous, 

 corolla-lobes obtuse, anthers connate. DC. Prodr. ix. 20 ; Benth. in Journ. Linn. 

 Soc. i. 109. G. Wallichii, Wight; Wall. PL As. Ear. iii. 49, t. 281 : Wight Ic.

KHASIA MTS., Wallich, H.f. $ T. NILGHERRY MTS., Wight, &c. 



Leaves 3 by 1^ in., base obtuse; petiole in. Cymes usually 1-2 in., 5-1-fld. ; in 

 the Nilgherry examples sometimes peduncled, and 12-fld. ; in a Silhet one compound, 

 panicled, 5-6|- in., and 90-flowered. Calyx ^ in., lobes rounded. Corolla-tube 

 hardly longer than the calyx ; lobes ^-\ in., patent, tomentose villous or subglabrate 

 within. Anthers in a cylinder i in. long. Berry ^ in. diam., scarlet. A single 

 specimen in Herb. Hook, is marked "Ceylon, Mrs. Walker," but I suspect some 

 error. 



2. Cr. angustifolia, Wall. Cat. 817, and in Roxb. FL Ind. ed. Carey 8? 

 Wall. ii. 318 ; leaves lanceolate acuminate, peduncles 1 (rarely 2)-fld., 



corolla-lobes acute, anthers free. DC. Prodr. ix. 20 ; Benth. in Journ. Linn. 

 Soc. i. 109. 



TEMPERATE HIMALAYA, alt. 5-7000 ft. ; from Kumaon to Bhotan ; Wallich, &c. _ 

 Leaves 4j by 1 in., base acute or rounded; petiole ^ in. Peduncles nodding in 

 flower. Corolla-lobes densely villous or nearly glabrous within. Berry ^ in. diam., 

 scarlet. Closely allied to G-. ovata, which Bentham reduces to the present species, 

 with G. nutans, Sieb. $ Zucc. from Japan, which has elliptic acute leaves and 

 rather larger flowers ; and may be a geographic form of Gr. angustifolia. 



OEDER XOVII. GENTI ANACEJE. (By C. B. Clarke ) 



Herbs, rarely minutely hairy. Leaves opposite, rarely alternate, entire, or 

 alternate and 8-foliolate in Menyanthes. Floioers cymosa capitate or um- 

 belled, rarely solitary, rarely bracteate, regular; irregular in Canscora and 

 Hoppea. Calyx inferior, lobes 5-4 imbricate in bud. Corolla funnel-shaped or 

 rotate, lobes twisted to the right, in Menyanthes induplicate-valvate. Stamens 

 on the corolla-tube, as many as its lobes and alternate with them, or unequal 

 or suppressed in Canscora and Hoppea', filaments linear, sometimes dilated
