506 ; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. II. 475. Secamone macrophylla /3. fulva, Bl. 

 Bijdr. 1050 ; Hassk. Cat. Bog. 125. 



Peeak : at Sungie Larut, Wray 2287 ; Scortechini. — Disteib. Java. 



There is some doubt about this species, due to the only specimen of the Java plant 

 available being very imperfect, while both Wray's and Scortechini's specimens are in 

 fruit only. 



Tribe III. Cynanche^. 



Filaments of the stamens connate in a column if present ; anthers 

 adnate to the upper part of the style, with membranous appendages. 

 Pollen- contents of each anther-cell united in a waxy mass ; the pollen- 

 masses opaque, attached in pairs to the pollen-carriers by short or long 

 caudicles from which they are pendulous in the anther-cells. Pollen- 

 carriers turgid, rarely flattened, with a dorsal suture, hard and horny, 

 reddish-brown to black, attached at the angles of the style-apex.. 



Corona of 5 processes adnate to the anther-column :— • 

 Stem erect : — 

 Corona-processes laterally compressed, circinately curved 

 at base . . . . . . . . . . 13. Calotkopis. 



Corona-processes eucullate with an interior horn . . 14. Asclepias. 



Stem twining : — 

 Flowers large, fleshy ; corona-processes -o in. long, adnate 

 to the column . . . . . . . . 15. Ehaphistemma. 



Flowers small, thin ; corona-processes about •! in. long, 



attached to the base of the column . . .. ..16. Ischnostemma. 



Corona annular, adnate to the base of the column and sur- 

 rounding it . . . . . . . . . . 17.. Cynanchum. 



13. Caloteopis, Br. 



Erect large shrubs or small trees. Leaves opposite, broad, subsessile. 

 Flowers medium-sized, in umbellate or subracemose pedunculate cymes, 

 arising laterally from the stem between the bases of the leaves. Calyx 

 5-lobed ; the lobes with small glandular scales at the base within. 

 Corolla broadly campanulate or subrotate, divided more than half-way 

 down in 5 broad valvate lobes which are usually reflexed in flower. 

 Corona of 5 laterally compressed fleshy processes, adnate to and stand- 

 ing out as buttresses from the staminal-column, furnished at the base 

 with an upcurved and involute spur, bifid at the apex or with two 

 obtuse auricles. Stamens inserted at the base of the corolla ; the 

 anthers short, broad, somewhat horny at the angled wings ; appendages 

 short, broad, slightly lobed, membranous, inflexed over the style-apex ; 

 anther-cells a shallow membranous pouch ; pollen-masses solitary, 

 pendulous, flattened, spathulate, attached by slender jointed caudicles to 

 the oblong, somewhat quadrate, pollen-carrier. Ovary of 2 distinct cells.
