PENANG; Wallich. MALACCA; Griffith, Maingay. DISTEIB. Malaya and 

 Philippine Islands, N. Australia. 



Leaves 4J by 2\ in., suddenly cuneate and narrowed into the petiole, often 

 almost spathulate, mature shining above, usually very white beneath ; petiole |-| in. 

 Peduncles usually J- in. ; cyme 1-2 in. diam., globose. Fruit deep-purple, finally 

 black. Widely cultivated for the strong contrast between the upper and lower 

 surface of the leaves. The figure in Bot. Mag. (t. 2107) is doubted by Bentham 1. c., 

 and with reason. 



8. C. pedunculata, Br. Prodr. 513; shrubby, leaves broadly elliptic 

 acuminate base rounded closely serrulate mature puberulous above thinly 

 stellate-flocculose beneath, peduncles often as long as the petiole. Benth.

PENAKG ; Wallich. DISTBIB, Malaya, Trop. Australia. 



Leaves 5 by 2J in., membranous, stellate tomentum somewhat deciduous; petiole 

 in., stellate-woolly. Cymes 1-2 in. diam., globose, dense, stellately woolly ; 

 peduncles - in. Fruit -^ in. diam., dark purple. Easily distinguished from 

 C. cana by the nearly concolorous surfaces of the leaf. 



9. C. rubella, Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 883; arborescent, leaves very 

 short-petioled cordate-oblong acuminate crenate-serrate mature softly 

 pubescent above tomentose beneath, peduncles short, calyx in flower 

 stellately tomentose. Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 645; Benth. Fl. Honqk.

SIKKIM, alt. 2000 ft. ; Clarice. KnASiA and JAINTEA MTS., alt. 2-4000 ft., 

 frequent ; Wallich, H.f. <$ T., &c. DISTEIB. China. 



An erect, single-stemmed shrub, 10-20 ft., with horizontal branches and com- 

 planate foliage. Leaves 5 by 1-1 J in., parallel-sided or slightly obovate, closely 

 covered with short simple hairs above, concolorous beneath ; petiole -^-^ in. 

 Peduncles - in.; cymes 1-2 in. diam. , stellately tomentose. Calyx not membranous, 

 nor glabrate in fruit. Corolla pink. Fruit \-^ in. diam., fine purple. Lindley's 

 figure represents correctly the Chinese form of this species having the leaves " crossing 

 each other" subsessile, mature nearly glabrate above very thinly stellate-hairy beneath. 

 The description of Schauer 1. c. is taken from the Indian form, C. sessilifolia, Wall., 

 which, however, has the petioles longer than the Chinese. 



10. P. psilocalyx, Clarke; arborescent, leaves elliptic acuminate 

 denticulate mature nearly glabrous, cymes small short-peduncled stellately 

 villous, calyx membranous in flower glandular scarcely hairy. 



KHASIA MTS., alt. 4-5000 ft. ; Wallich, J. D. H., &c. 



A small tree; branchlets densely stellate-tomentose. Leaves 8 by 2| in., or 2 

 by 1 in., base rounded or cuneate thinly membranous, mature with scattered stellate 

 hairs on the midrib beneath, tertiary venation close prominent, glands minute 

 scattered; petiole in. Peduncles mostly very short; cymes usually few-fid.; 

 pedicels sometimes pink. Calyx 2 ', in., minutely 4- toothed, greenish or pinkish,
