Touruefortia.] c. BORAGINEJE. (C. B. Clarke.) 147 



8. T. ovata, Wall. Cat. 908 ; leaves ovate and elliptic suddenly shortly 

 acuminate hairy or glabrescent beneath, calyx-teeth ovate-lanceolate in fruit 

 glistening white-setose within, corolla-tube -i in. G. Don Gen. Syst iv 369 

 DC. Prodr. 516. 



BRITISH BURMA : Rangoon, Wallich, M'Clelland. S. ANDAMAN ; Kurz. 



Scandent, branches hairy. Leaves 3-6 in., rhomboid at the base ; tertiary nerves 

 obscure. Calyx-teeth in., about the length of the corolla-tube. Drupes -\ in., 

 sessile. In Kurz example, the corolla is permanent, the base greatly enlarged so as 

 to include the fruit ; this state appears induced by the attack of an insect. 



9. T. khasiana, Clarke ; leaves ovate acuminate glabrescent base 

 obtuse or subcordate, calyx-teeth ovate acute small, corolla-tube exceeding 

 *in. 



KHASIA Mrs. ; Nongpriang, alt. 1500 ft., Clarke. 



Branchlets minutely hairy. Leaves 3 by l in., gradually acuminated, tertiary 

 nerves reticulated not very prominent ; petiole ^ in. Cymes rusty-pubescent ; branches 

 few, long, densely fld. Calyx-teeth scarcely in. Drupe not seen. 



10. T. Hookeri, Clarke ; leaves ovate or elliptic acute glabrescent pro- 

 minently reticulated beneath, calyx-teeth lanceolate-linear, corolla-tube -| in. 

 hardly exceeding the calyx, f. viridiflora, Gamble Darjeeling List, 57, not 

 of Wall. 



SIKKIM; alt. 2-5000 ft., frequent; J. D. H., &c. 



Large, subscandent ; branches nearly glabrous. Leaves 4-5 by l|-2 in., obtuse 

 and unequal at the base ; tertiary nerves exceedingly prominent ; petiole in. Cymes 

 terminal, diffuse, rusty pubescent ; branches long ; flowers sub-2-seriate. Calyx-teeth 

 in. Drupes | in., ovoid, sessile. 



VAR. subtropica ; corolla-tube more than in. pentagonal with 5 hairy lines with- 

 out, more than twice as long as the calyx-tube. Sikkim ; by the great Rungait, 

 J. D. H. 



SECT. 3. Tetrandra. Rambling or subscandent shrubs. Leaves obtuse 

 at the base, distinctly petioled. Corolla 4-merous, narrowly tubular. 



11. T. Wallichii, DC. Prodr. ix. 527; leaves ovate acute glabrescent 

 base rounded, corolla-tube scarcely \ in. twice or thrice as long as the calyx. 

 T. tetrandra, Wall Cat. 911, not of Blume. Tetrandra Wallichii, Miq. Fl. Ind. 

 Bat. ii. 928. 



SINGAPORE & PENANG; Wallich, Maing ay. NICOBARS; Kurz. 



Branche s nearly glabrous. Leaves 3^- by If in., tertiary nerves obscure; petiole 

 \ in. Cymes terminal, lax. Calyx-teeth ^ in., triangular-lanceolate. Drupes in., 

 sessile. Tetrandra glabra, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 929, has oblong leaves narrowed at 

 the base ; T. Zollingeri, Miq. I. c. 928, has flowers in. long ; these two make up the 

 old Tournefortia tetrandra, Blume Bijd. 845, DC. I.e. More material may reduce the 

 4 species of this section to 1. 



12. T. Walkeree, Clarke-, leaves oblong acuminate glabrescent reticulated 

 beneath, corolla-tube in. very narrow. T. Wallichii, Thioaites Enum, 214. 



CEYLON ; Walker, Thwaites. 



Leaves 3 by 1-1^ in., base ronnded ; upper surface rugose by the impression of 

 the nerves. This seems nearer both Tetrandra glabra and Zollingeri than to Tourne- 

 fortia Wallichii. 



DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 



T. ARBORESCENS, Lamk. 111. ii. 417 ; DC. Prodr. ix. 529, is described as a tree from 

 India. No tree belonging to the genus is known in British India. 



T. TERNATA, Wall. Cat. 912, from Tavoy ; there is no specimen of this in Wallich'g 

 Herbarium.
