60 ANNALS OF. THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, CALCUTTA. 
Var. Wallichii, Hook. fil, Branches brown-tomentose; lower surfaces of leaves 
glaucous and tinged with purple. 
This species, in the absence of the inner row of petals and in other respects, 
resembles M. longiflora, Roxb.; but the outer petals are neither so long nor so narrow, 
and there appear always to be three of them, and not often only two as in 
M. longiflora. The peduncles are, moreover, shorter. The two species, however, are 
closely allied. In open, exposed situations this is a non-scandent bush; but under the 
shade of trees it often developes into a climber,—a habit which it shares with many 
species of this family, Blume’s figure of this plant (quoted above) is inaccurate as 
respects the flowers and fruit.

14, Unona Wrayi, Hemsl. in Hook, Ic. Piant., t. 1553. A tree; young branches 
slender, tawny-tomentose. Leaves thickly membranous, elliptic-oblong, shortly acuminate, 
often obtuse (from the breaking off of the acumen), slightly narrowed to the rounded 
base; upper surface glabrous except the puberulous midrib; lower much reticulate, 
puberulous, the midrib pubescent; main nerves 8 to 10 pairs, rather prominent beneath, 
spreading, and forming two sets of intra-marginal arches; length 5°5 to 7:5 in., breadth 
2 to 2°65 in.; petiole *2 in., tomentose. Flowers 3 to 3°5 in. long, solitary, or in fascicles 
from tubercles on the larger branches; pedicels ‘75 to ‘9 in., slender. Sepals ovate- 
Janceolate, sub-acute, about 3 in. long, puberulous. Petals white, changing to deep claret, 
sub-equal, rather coriaceous, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, about 3 in. long, sparsely 
puberulous outside; breadth about °3 in. Ovaries numerous, pubescent, with about 4 
ovules. Ripe carpels red when ripe, stalked, slightly pulpy, ovoid or oblong, obtuse, 
glabrous, 1 to 1°25 in. long; stalks 5 to ‘75 in. long. Seeds about 8, oval, compressed, 
rugulose, aromatic, "6 in. long. King in Journ, As. Soc, Bengal 61, pt. 2, 47.

tree; youngest branches with soft yellowish-brown pubescence ; the older with smooth, 
shining, yellowish-brown bark. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, or elliptic-lanceolate 
er oblanceolate, shortly and acutely or obtusely acuminate, the base acute ; upper surface 
glabrous except the pubescent midrib; under-surface paler, puberulous especially on 
the midrib and nerves; main nerves 8 to 11 pairs, - rather prominent beneath when 
dry, oblique. Fiowers 2°5 in. in diam., pale red, densely crowded on 1 to 2 in, broad
