a little yellow hair clinging to the sides of the midrib beneath ; "nerves 6 pair, 

 secondary reticulating nerves conspicuous ; petiole 2 in. Corymbs terminal, short- 

 peduncled, 3-4 in. diam., closely pubescent and with some deciduous fulvous hairs, 

 exceedingly like P. integrifolia, but rather larger. Calyx ^ in., in fruit 3-toothed, 

 closely scabrid-puberulous. Corolla |- in., greenish- white, hairy in the throat. 

 Drupe in. diam., globose, 4-seeded (Roxburgh). The two examples of Roxburgh, 

 one named by himself, agree exactly with his Ic. Ined. at Kew, and with his descrip- 

 tion ; and are very unlike the P. longifolia of Wallich, accepted as Roxburgh's by 

 Schauer. It seems very near P. integrifolia, Linn. 



*** Calyx 5-4-toothed, subequally or obscurely 2-lipped.

16. P. milleflora ? Clarke ; leaves large long-petioled ovate acute

Generally resembling P. longifolia, Roxb., but with a very large dense corymb 

 of very small flowers. Leaves 7 by 4 in., base rhomboid, mature minutely pubes- 

 cent on the nerves (primary and secondary) beneath, nerves 8 pair ; petiole 2 in. 

 Corymb a foot diam., about 2000-flowered (in Griffith's n. 320), and calyx (fa in.), 

 minutely pubescent. Corolla ^ in., throat hairy. Drupe | in., globose. 



17. P. tomentosa, Willd. Sp. PI. iii. 314 ; leaves ovate acuminate 

 entire mature stellate-woolly beneath, corymbs panicled densely stellate- 

 woolly, calyx shortly 5-fid, ovary upwards very hairy. Roxb. FL Ind. iii.

A tree, often 50 ft. ; branchlets densely stellate-woolly. Leaves 6 by 3 in., base 

 rounded or subcordate, coriaceous, minutely glandular scabrous above, nerves 7 pair ; 

 petiole 1 in. Corymbs | in. diam., often sessile, upper branches (or nearly all) 

 alternate; bracts in., linear. Calyx -fa in., stellately woolly. Corolla ^ in., 2- 

 lipped, hairy in the throat, greenish-yellow. Drupe 5 in. diam., deciduously hairy, 

 ovoid, 3-1-seeded. This is certainly P. tomentosa of Roxb., but whether of Willd. may 

 be questioned. Willdenow founds his plant as a syn. of Cornutia corymbosa, Lt&mk. 

 Lamarck does not say whether it was the same as Cornutia corymbosa, Burin. If it 

 was the same, which from the description seems not improbable, then Premna 

 tomentosa. Willd., is a mere syn. of P. corymbosa.
