Baeolotrys, pentandria monogynia. 235 



Leaves broad-ovate, with a rounded sub corda'e or entire base, acute, 

 eomeimes blunt, from six to twelve inches long, strong!)- marked with 

 unequal, cuspidate teeth, densely villous on both side!?, grejish ; nerves 

 on the under surface elevated, parallel. — Petioles round, channelled, 

 villous, one or two inches long. — Panicles axillary and terminal, 

 ovate, tapering into an acumen, peduucled, mostly equalling, some- 

 times exceeding the length of the leaves, rareh sl>orter, villous, con- 

 sisting of slender, simple, many-flowered racemes, measuring from 

 two to four inches in length. — Flowers white, smaller than those of 

 the ['receding species, with which they otherwise perfectly agree. 

 Berry also smaller; seeds rather larger, blackish. 



Obs. When growing in rich situations, especially when in fruit, it 

 is exceedingly like a Callicarpa. — N. W. 



8. B. (Maesa) dubia, Wall. 



Shrubby ? Leaves ovate, acuminate, grossly serrate, nearly smooth,' 

 Panicles axillary, racemose, equalling the leaves. 



Gathered by the late Dr. Benj. Heyne at VVynaad and Co or?, 

 in blossom in the month of December. There is no name, but a 

 good generic character attached to his specimens. 



This species comes nearer to the figure of Vahl's B. lanceolata, 

 than to Roxburgh's indica ; differing perhaps only in the much more 

 strongly dentate leaves. — Branches very slender, ash-colouied, 

 with small dots, scarcely pubescent. — Leaves approximate, ovate, 

 acuminate, grossly and acutely serrate, sub-acute at the base, 

 about five inches long, smooth above, the nerves slightly reticulat- 

 ed beneath. — Petiols about an inch long. — Panicles axillary, short- 

 peduncled, equalling the leaves, consisting of several simple, 

 almost filiform, pubescent racemes ; the teiminal one longer than 

 the rest, measuring three or four inches. — -Ftozcers smooth, remarka- 

 bly small, in every other respect like those of the preceding species.
