tube cylindric, slender, slightly dilated at top, opposite the stamens, 

 •75 in. long ; lobes oblong-falcate, '5 in. long or rather more ; pubescent 

 without, crispate on one edge and auricled on that edge at the base. 

 Anthers linear-oblong, blunt or mucronate, -125 in. long, the basal lobes 

 adherent to the connective ; filaments short, decurrent in lines inside the 

 corolla-tube. Ovary of 2 ovoid, glabrous carpels ; style filiform ; stigma 

 clavate, tip entire or bifid. Follicles thick, globular-ovoid, recurved, 

 very shortly beaked, obtusely keeled, rough outside, 1-5 in. long, 1 in. 

 in diameter ; ventral suture impressed. Seeds very many, oblong-obtuse, 

 deeply hollowed ventrally, "5 in. long, -2 to "25 in. broad and deep ; 

 testa crustaceous, glandular-papillose, with deep ridges within, which 

 extend into the copious albumen ; cotyledons cordate, "15 in. long ; 

 radicle cylindric, -25 in. long. Taherncemontana corymbosa, Eoxb. Fl.

Vae. Kelsalli, King & Gamble. Leaves thinner than in the type, 

 oblong-lanceolate ; main nerves fewer (10 pairs) and at a more oblique 

 angle (50°). Cymes nearly sessile, much fewer-flowered. 



Selangoe : at Bukit Etam, Kelsall 1992. 



Vae. imhescens, King & Gamble. Inflorescence covered with slight 

 greyish-yellow pubescence.

This is scarcely a variety. In many of the specimens of the species the corolla in 

 bud is thickly tomentose outside, and thus we have a gradation from the glabrous to 

 the pubescent form. 



2. Eevatamia hieta, King & Gamble. A large shrub (?) ; branch- 

 lets stout, somewhat flattened, dark brown, lenticellate. Leaves coria- 

 ceous ; elliptic-ovate or -oblong, long acuminate at apex, acute at base ; 

 dull on both surfaces, dark olivaceous-brown on the upper, much 

 paler on the lower; margins recurved; 4 to 12 in. long, 2*5 to 5 in. 

 broad ; midrib rather slender, flattened on the upper, raised on the 

 lower surface ; main nerves 10 to 15 pairs, starting at about 70° with 

 the midrib and curving upwards to anastomose near the margin, 

 impressed above, raised beneath ; secondary nerves apparently none ; 

 reticulations obscure ; petiole '25 to "5 in. long, stout. Cymes almost 

 hirsute, many-flowered, much branched, usually in pairs in the axils of
