A large climber. Leaves 5^ by 3 in., base obtuse or cordate, nerves 5 pair ; 

 petiole f in. Corymbs 3-4 in. diam., puberulous, hardly pubescent; brandies 

 somewhat thick, bracts deciduous. Calyx ^ in., 2-lipped, usually membranous, 

 glabrous after flowering; one lip shortly 2-fid, the other subentire. Drupe

A climber. Leaves 5 by 2 in., nerves 56 pair, usually puberulous above, 

 beneath most obscurely dotted and sometimes pubescent ; petiole |-2| in. Corymbs 

 3 in. diam.;' bracts \ in., lanceolate; flowers shortly pedicelled or sessile. Calyx 

 Jj in., broadly cup-shaped ; upper lip in flower of 2 minute acute teeth, lower sub- 

 entire. Corolla | in., throat hairy. Drupe in..N diam., globose, 3-4-sceded. An 

 authentic Javau example from Miquel of his lucidula has the corymbs stouter, the 

 calyx larger, more distinctly toothed, the corolla fully in.. 



13. P. punctulata, Clarke-, leaves broadly elliptic suddenly shortly 

 acuminate entire mature glabrate punctulate "beneath, corymbs large 

 pubescent, calyx closely pubescent 2-lipped, lips subequal one 2-toothed the 

 other subentire. 



MALACCA ; Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1200). 



Leaves 5| by 3 in., base obtuse or rounded,, nerves 4 pair ; petiole 1 in. Corymbs 

 45 in. diam. ; lower bracts | in., linear-oblong ; flowers sessile or shortly pedicelled. 

 Calyx T ' g in., closely minutely grey -pubescent; after flowering somewhat deeply 

 2-lipped. Drupe not seen. This may be P. ceramensis (Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 893), 

 of which no authentic specimen is at Kew. 



14. P. khasiana, Clarke ; leaves large ovate caudate-acuminate 

 entire glabrous nerves pubescent above, corymbs large lax pubescent, calyx 

 2-lipped sub-5-toothed.

Subscandent (Hooker). Leaves 7 by 4^ in., base obtuse, shining, subcoriaceous, 

 young scarcely pubescent beneath, nerves 7 pair; petiole 1| in., pubescent. Corymbs 

 6 in. diam., straggling, closely pubescent with simple hairs and minute scales; bracts 

 \ in., linear. Calyx j^-j^ in., pubescent; one lip distinctly 2-toothed, the other more 

 shortly 3-toothed or subentire. Corolla in., subequally. 4-lobed, glabrous without, 

 throat somewhat hairy. Drupe not seen. From the subcoriaceous, shining, much 

 acuminate large leaves and scandent habit, the true affinity of this may be near P. 

 coriacea ; but the artificial sectional character taken from- the calyx does not allow it 

 to stand there. 



15. P. long-ifolia, Eoxl. Hort. Sena. 46, and Fl. Ind. iii. 79, not of 

 Wall, nor of Schauer; leaves large long-petioled ovate acute entire mature
