2tfl PENTANHRIA MONOGYNIA. Ardisid. 



in flower in August and December.— The doubtful plant mentioned 

 by Valil, under his A. humilis, Syinb. iii. 41, seems to belong to this 

 species. — N. W. 



5. A. villosa, R. 



Shmbby, erect, with spreading, villous branchlets. Leaves lan- 

 ceolate, crenulate, villous underneath. Umbellets terminal, compound, 

 hairy. 



A native of the forests of Pulo-pinang, where Mr. R. found it in 

 blossom in July, — Compare with Pyrgus racemosa, Loureir. cochinch. 

 149.

1 liave found a shrub, rather sparingly, in Singapore, in fruit in 

 'October, which perhaps may be this species.— It rises four or five 

 •feet high, with spieading, densely villous, and hairy, round bran- 

 ches. — Leaves lanceolate, from five to seven inches long, acu- 

 minate, remotely and oblusely crenate, tapering and acuminate at 

 the base, minutely and most copiously dotted on both sides, and 

 clothed with abundance of soft, long, jointed hairs. Petioles slender, 

 an inch or an inch and half long. — Umbels axillary and terminal, 

 very villous. Berries globular, villous, scarcely larger than the 

 persistent calyx, the lacinize of which are linear-lanceolate, long, 

 acute, villous. — All the upper parts of this shrub are exceedingly 

 thickly beset with soft hairs. — .It is perhaps a distinct species which I 

 would propose calling A. vest ita.— Pyrgus racemosa, Loureir. co- 

 chinch, td. Willd. i. 149, belongs undoubtedly to this genus, accord- 

 ing to Mr. R. Brown, prodr. nov. holi. i. 535 ; but is widely differ- 

 ent from the plant described above by Roxburgh. Mr. Brown thinks 

 that Bladhia, Thun'b. is a distinct genus on account of the ternate or 

 ^opposite leaves ; 1 would add their serrated or crispated margins.— ;
