Except that it has spines the plant here described agrees in all respects with 

 Roxburgh's Webera scandens of which he has left a coloured drawing in the Calcutta 

 Herbarium. Roxburgh's figure and description of his Posoqeria longijlora also agree 

 with this, except in being arboreous. Lamark's figure of R. longijlora agrees with 

 Roxburgh's except in having smaller leaves. 



Var. major, King & Gamble ; young branches sometimes nearly 

 as thick as a goose-quill, leaves 4 to 6 in. long and 1*75 to 3 in. broad ; 

 cymes shorter than the leaves ; calyx '5 in long.

13. Randia Clarkei, King & Gamble n. sp. Quite glabrous : 

 young branches thinner than a goose-quill, pale-brown when dry. Leaves 

 thickly coriaceous, oblong-elliptic, subacute, the base rounded or slightly 

 cuneate, both surfaces dark-brown when dry, the lower slightly oliva- 

 ceous, the midrib on both thick and the 4 or 5 pairs of slightly curved 

 ascending main-nerves faint ; length 4 to 6'5 in., breadth 1*75 to 2*5 in. ; 

 petioles *5 to "6 in., thick. Cymes in the axils of fallen leaves or termin- 

 al, 3- or 4-flowered, the bracts broadly ovate, acute, persistent. Floivers 

 2'5 to 3 in. long, coriaceous. Calyx narrowly funnel-shaped, tapering 

 much towards the base, about '9 in long ; the mouth with 5 small acute 

 triangular teeth. Corolla salver-shaped, the tube 1 in. long and *15 in. 

 in diam. ; its throat glabrous ; the limb 1*5 in. across, deeply divided into 

 5 ovate-lanceolate, spreading lobes. Anthers sessile, included in the 

 tube, linear*, "3 in. long. Style as long as the corolla-tube ; stigma exsert- 

 ed, -short, thick, separating into 2 broad lobes. Canthium rectirvum, 

 Wall. Cat. 8284 D. in Herb. Kew. (not D. in Herb. Linn. Soc.) 



Malacca: Maingay (K.D.) 840. 



The type sheet of this species was included by Wallich in his Canthium vecur- 

 vum, of which it stands in the Kew set as sheet D. It differs from the other 

 sheets which belong to Randia longijlora in its greatly longer calyx and also larger 

 more coriaceous corolla, which has a wider tube, glabrous in the throat as elsewhere, 

 included anthers, and a much shorter stigma which opens out into 2 short broad 

 lobes. The leaves of this are also larger and thicker than those of R. longijlora. 



14. Randia Penangiana, King & Gamble n. sp. A large glab- 

 rous armed climber; young branches twice as thick as a crow-quill, dark 

 coloured when dry, armed with stout axillary recurved spines *3 in. 

 long. Leaves thickly membranous, elliptic, sometimes slightly obovate, 

 shortly and bluntly acuminate, the base cuneate, both surfaces brown 

 when dry, the lower somewhat the paler and tinged olivaceous ; main- 

 nerves 5 to 7 pairs, rather straight, oblique, faint on both surfaces ;
