posite, broad-ovate, short bractes under their articulated insertion. — 

 Calyx oval, small, with obtuse Jaciuise. — Cowl about an inch 

 long, the tube three times the length of the calyx, cylindric, widen- 

 ing towards the sub-compauulate border, which consists of five, 

 sometimes of six or seven obovate, crenulate laciniae. — Stamina 

 reaching above the throat ; filaments slender and weak, descending 

 a short distance from their insertion and afterwards adscending again 

 as in the two first species. — Ovarium bilocular, many-seeded : stvle 

 about the length of the stamina. 



6. F. volubilis, Wall. 



Shrubby, climbing ; leaves ovate or obovate, acute, tapering down- 

 wards, petioled ; raceme terminal, lax, longer than the leaves, with 

 remote racemuli of peduncled flowers. 



A native of Bencoolen, from whence Mr. Jack indulged me with 

 beautiful fruit-bearing specimens. 



Branches pallid, round, slender, apparently dichotomous, various- 

 ly bent, climbing. — Leaves somewhat remote, mostly obovate, some- 

 times broad-oval, always acute, tapering towards the base, from eight 

 to twelve inches long, and from four to seven inches broad, in other 

 respects resembling those of the last species. — Petioles an inch 

 long, round, and stout, the upper half marked on each side with 

 a narrow margin, which originates from the slightly decurrent 

 base of the leaf. — Stipule as in the preceding. — Raceme terminal, 

 lax, variously bent, a foot or more in length, three inches in dia- 

 meter, on a short peduncle, composed of numerous, opposite, twice 

 trichotomous, spreading racemuli; the lowermost are remote on 

 longish peduncles, the rest sub-sessile, and becoming more approxi- 

 mate, disappearing towards the extremity of the raceme where 

 the flowers are solitary and opposite. — Common peduncle slender, 

 round, woody, with a pair of lanceolate, recurved, acute bractes 

 under each racemuli. — Pedicels very short and thick, with bractes as 

 in the preceding species.—- Flowers not seen. — Bemj oval, as large
