 Tj . H. Native of the East Indies, in valleys about Shreenagur. 

 Very like L. ligustrlna, Wall, but differs in the 5-celled fruit,

 plant does not belong to Rubiacece, according to Bertero, in 

 mere. chil. 1829. may. p. 611. nor Loranthacece, in consequence 

 of the fruit being many-seeded. But from the flowers being 

 4-cleft, it is probably a genus of the present order. Leaves an 

 inch broad, fine green. Corolla blood-coloured ; and calyx 4- 

 cleft to the middle. Stamens 4. Style yellow. Fruit form 

 and colour of an olive ; with sweetish flesh.
