16S PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA^ Psyckotrid, 



wards, lonw-petioled. Raceme small, terminal. Corol long and 

 slender, tubular, with an incurved border. 



Specimens were collected at Penang and communicated by Mr. 

 Jack, in 1819. 



Branches round, rather slender, smooth, dotted with purplish specks.. 

 ■ — Leaves oblong, lanceolate, finely acuminate, tapering very much 

 downwards, thin and membranous, smooth, shining above, with pu- 

 bescent rib and nerves underneath, the latter glandular, connected 

 by a distinct, sub-marginal, arched vein ; reticulate ; their length from 

 seven to ten inches ; the acumen very narrow and linear, about an 

 inch long. — Petiol very slender, two or three inches long; its apex 

 gently widening into the narrow base of the teat—Stipules ovate, 

 roundtd, obtuse, adpressed, withering, sometimes uni- or bi den- 

 tate at the upper end ; smooth, with a series of adpressed hairs with* 

 in their insertion. — Raceme terminal, smooth, oval, compact, erect, 

 short-peduncled, many times shorter than the leaves, consisting of 

 opposite, approximate, more or less compouud fascicles of sessile^ 

 long jlowers. — Bractes very small. — Calyx minute, smooth, with 

 five toothlets.— Corolla tubular, sub-adscending, nearly an inch long,, 

 cylindric, slender, striated, widening a little towards its limb, which 

 is veiy short, five-lobed ; lobes lanceolate, acute, when dry they are 

 incurved; throat naked, smooth. — Filaments inserted a little above 

 the middle of the tubeand there decurrent, capillary, longish. Anthers 

 linear, elevated above the throat. — Ovarium oblong, two- celled, two- 

 seeded; ovula erect, fiat.— Style capillary. Stigma linear, bipartite, 

 below the apex of the tube. 



06s. The long? slender, curved tube of the corolla, its proporti- 

 onately short incurved border and the long capillary filaments insert- 

 ed near the middle of the tube render this and the next species very 

 distinct from all the preceding ones. Both seem to approach to
