the N. Indian denticulate, somewhat roughly hairy above, beneath densely villotis or 

 thinly hairy often with small obscure round glands ; petiole 1-4 in. Panicle 6-12 by 

 4-8an., erect, brachiate, sometimes leafy on the main rachis, upper branches and 

 calyces more or less reddening ; bracts of the cymes usually caducous. Calyx, in 

 flower, ^ in., divided nearly to the base ; segments broadly lanceolate, very acute, 

 suberect. Corolla pubescent without, white pink-tinged ; tube | in. Drupe in. 

 dium., black ; calyx in fruit enlarged, sometimes 1| in. diam. Mountain specimens have 

 often large leaves, and are unusually high-coloured. Lindl. Sot. Heg. 1844, t. 19, 

 doubtfully referred here by Schauer, has high-red flowers, and may possibly be some 

 garden form of C. infortunatum, which in the wild state produces a nearly white 

 corolla. 



20. C. villosum, Blume Bljd. 811 (excl. syn. Rheede] ; leaves cordate- 

 ovate entire mature villous, panicle open silky hairy, corolla-tube about as 

 lonig as the glandular calyx-lobes ^ in. Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 667 ;

MALAY PENINSULA frequent; from Mergui (Griffith} to Singapore (Sir E. 

 SchomburgJc} . DISTRIB. Java. 



A shrub 3-5 ft., or a small tree 15-20 ft. (Kurz). Leaves as of C. infortunatum, 

 but slightly more silky rather than roughly villous. Panicle as of C. infortunatum, 

 but more softly hairy, and not red. Calyx ^ in., divided rather more than half- way 

 down. Corolla pubescent, greenish-white, altogether smaller than of C. infortunatum. 

 Drupe j; in diam., dry black appearing hardly succulent. Very like C. infortunatum, 

 but distinguished by its small flowers, and generally also by the glandular calyx-seg- 

 ments. But in a few examples of C. infortunatum from the Malay Peninsula the 

 calyx is full of glands. 



Subgenns 2. Siphonanthus. Corolla-tube more than 3 in., filiform. 



21. C. Siphonanthus, Br. in Ait. Sort. ~Kew. ed. 2, iv. 65 ; glabrous, 

 leaves 3-4-nate or opposite subsessile narrowly lanceolate subentire, panicle

From SIKKIM and ASSAM to TENASSERIM, frequent. MTS. of S. DECCAN PENIN- 

 SULA. KUMAON, wild, fide Brandis. DISTRIB. Sumatra, extensively cultivated in 

 both hemispheres. 



A shrub, 4-8 ft., branches virgate. Leaves 6 by 1 in., shortly acuminate, base 

 tapering, usually entire or sinuate, rarely remotely crenately lobed ; petiole 0- in. 

 Panicle 8-18 by 4-6 in, often leafy below; cymes very lax. few-fld.; bracts | in., 

 linear or linear-lanceolate ; pedicels \-\ \ in. Calyx | in., divided | the way down; 

 segments oblonsr, cuneately acute. Corolla glabrous, white; tube 3-4| in.; lobes 

 in., obovate-oblong. 



VAB. semifserrata ; leaves opposite short-petioled elliptic crenate-lobate. panicle 

 terminal 3-4-fld. C. semiseiTata, Wall. Cat. 1785. Prome and Segain ; Wallich. 

 Apparently a much-branched shrub ; but the specimens are possibly only short 

 imperfect flower-branches rapidly developed from a normal plant of C. Siphonanthus 

 cut to the base by a hot-weather jungle-fire ; for the calyx and corolla are exactly 

 as of C. Siphonanthus. 



22. C. hastatum, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1307 ; pubescent or villous, 

 leaves opposite hastate ovate or oblong often angular or sublobate, pa.nicle
