Vitex.] cxi. VERBENACEjE. (C. B. Clarke.) 587 



MALACCA; Griffith. DISTRIB. Borneo. 



A small tree; branchlets round, puberulous or glabrate. Leaflet 7^ by 2| in., 

 punctulate beneath, sessile, articulate on a petiole in. Panicle a foot, one branch 

 15 by 1J in. in Griffith's example, rusty-pubescent; cymes distant ; bracts small, 

 caducous; pedicels 12-16 in., thickened in fruit. Calyx shortly but distinctly 

 toothed, enlarged in fruit. Corolla nearly \ in., tomentose, ochroleucous, the middle 

 lobe of the lower lip purple-lilac (Griffith). Drupe ^ in. or more, ovoid ; apex depressed. 

 Wight supposed this to be Vitex macro phylla, R. Br. (now removed to Gmelina by 

 Bentham) ; and it is so very like it, except in having narrow leaves, that it appears 

 unnatural to refer the two plants to different genera. 



** Peduncles all axillary, sometimes subobsolete. 



14. V. vestita, Wall. Cat. 1750; leaves 3-foliolate, leaflets petioluled 

 ovate-lanceolate entire mature softly pubescent beneath, cymes axillary 

 mostly shorter than the petioles. Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 692; Kurx 

 For. Fl. ii. 272. Y. Finlaysoniana, Wall. Cat. 6314.
