CaUicarpa.'] VERBENACEiE. 271 



a floccose stellate tomentum. Leaves shortly stalked, lanceolate or linear-lan- 

 ceolate, 3 to 6 in, long-, acuminate, entire or irnjgularly sinuate, mostly acute 

 at the base, but occasionally rounded or the lower ones almost cordate, green 

 on both sides. Flowers glabrous or nearly so, in small nearly sessile cymes, 

 but each flower distinctly pedicellate. Calyx truncate or sinuately toothed. 

 Anthers oblong, about as long as the exserted part of the filament. 



At Say wail, Champion ; also Wright and Wilford. This is the variety figured in Hook. 

 Fl. Exot. ii. t. 133, and in Bot. Reg. t. 864. The only specimens I have seen are from 

 gardens or from Hongkong. The original form figured by Lamarck, with numerous small 

 flowers in loose cymes, smaller anthers on longer filaments, and long narrow almost entire 

 leaves, has been gathered by Hanee near Canton, and by Caming in the Philippines (n. 1330). 

 A third variety, more common in India and the Archipelago, and found also in S. China by 

 Fortnne, has the flowers and inflorescence of Lamarck's plant, but shorter and broauer leaves, 

 always tapering at the base. This is the C. lanceolaria, Roxb., and is sometimes scaix-ely 

 to be distinguished from the American C. americana, Linn. One of Chcuiqauns lloiig- 

 kong specimens is in some measure intermediate between the var. brevipes and Lamarck's 

 form. 



6. C. rubella, Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 883; Schau. in DC. Prod. xi. 645, 

 A shrub or undershrub of 2 or 3 ft. ; the loose floccose tomentum not al)un- 

 dant, and often mixed with a few simple hairs. Leaves shortly stalked, 

 obovate-oblong, acuminate, serrate, 3 to 5 in. long, narrowed below tlie middle, 

 but rounded-cordate at the base, green on both sides or slightly tomentose 

 underneath, with scattered single hairs on the upper surface. Cymes loose, 

 on slender peduncles. Calyx tomentose, truncate or sinuately toothed. Co- 

 rolla pink. Anthers oblong, on short filaments. — C. tenuijlora, Champ, in 

 Kew Journ. Bot. v. 135. 



At Say wan. Champion ; also Wright. On the continent of S. China, in Khasia and Assam.

Calyx campanulate or inflated, 5 -toothed or 5-lobed. Corolla-tube slender, 

 much longer than the calyx, except when the latter is inflated; the Km!)

 Ovary 4-celled ; ovules pendulous or laterally attached. Style with 2 acute 

 stigmatic lobes. Fruit a drupe; the kernel usually large, sepai-ating into 

 2 two-celled or 4 one-celled nuts. — Shrubs, trees, or rarely herbs. Flowers 

 loosely cymose or capitate, in terminal panicles or thyrsi, or rarely axillary.

1. G. merme, Br. ; Schau. in DC. Prod. xi. fiGO. A glabrous shnib,
