heaves rather approximate, from six to seven inches long, a little 

 canaliculate, slightly rugose along the nerves, coriaceous, sub-acumi- 

 nate, acute at the base, rather pale and glaucous, opaque, strong- 

 ly maiked w itb sub-opposite nerves underneath, each having an 

 axiilaiy foveola. — Vetiol half an inch long, round, thick, obscurely 

 pubescent. — Stipules measuiiug half the length of the petiols, closely 

 ad pressed, broad-ovate, very obtuse, concealing within the base a 

 series of short hairs ; deciduous, — Panicle sub sessile, ovate, much 

 shorter than the uppermost leaves, smooth, with short, decussate ra- 

 mifications. — Bracles opposite under each division, lanceolate, 

 acute, deciduous.— Flowers small, ternate, inodorous, pea-green, 

 sub-ses-sile. — Calyx obscurely, unequally, and obtusely five lobed. 

 — Tube of the corolla sub-campanulate ; border divided into five 

 lanceolate, acute laciniae, their apex pubescent, slightly incurved. A 

 dense tuft of snow-white hairs protrudes considerably above the 

 throat, concealing the stamina. — Ovarium as in all the other species, 

 two-celled, each cell containing an upright sub-cylindric ovulum. 

 — Style capillary, perforating at the base a fleshy glandular convex

8. P. aurantiaca, Wall. 



Leaves lanceolate, acuminate, smooth, short-petioled. Stipules 

 ovate, acuminate. Panicle terminal, erect, penduncled, with verti- 

 cilled branches. Flowers ternate ; the intermediate one sessile. Calyx 

 truncate. Corolla with long tube and lacinia, villous under the throat. 



Specimens of this distinct species were communicated to me in 

 1819, by Mr. Jack, who had gathered them at Penang. 



Probably a large shrub ; all its parts perfectly smooth. Upper 

 branches complanate. — heaves approximate, from five to seven inches 

 long, shining, minutely dotted beneath, with slender, parallel, and ap- 

 proximate nerves underneath, on very short petiols. — Stipules very 

 deciduous, ovate, terminated by along subulate acumen. — Panicle 

 considerably elevated on a flatfish peduncle, many-flowered, erect * 

 the secondary and tertiary ramifications verticilled, supported by
