The preceding description was communicated by my late friend 

 J:\ck, without any specimens. He was doubtful of the true genus, 

 and gave the shrub the temporary name of Pittosporea serrulata ; 

 adding the following generic character and habit. " Calyx bemath, 

 five-leaved, erect. Corolla five-petalled : petals alternating with the 

 calyx. Sectary five-lobed, surrounding the ovary. Stamina five, in- 

 serted on the nectarial lobes. Ovary one-celled, six-seeded. Capsule 

 three-valved, one-celled, with three parietal placentas. Some of the 

 seeds abortie-nt. — A pentandrous, monogyuous shrub, with alternate 

 leaves and axillary innVirescence." 



This may perhaps be a Pittosporum, but its serrated leaves and 

 pne-ceiied capsuie have induced me to place it here. — N. W.

 serrate. Peduncles axillary, few-flowered, racemose. Petals oblong.

iin is a large rambling and climbing shrub, which I have found 

 in similar places m Nipal with C> multiflora, Roxb. to which it has 

 great resemulance ; aiso on several of the hills about the valley. It 

 blossoms in May and ripens its fruit towards the end of the year. 



The whole plant is smooth. Branches long, slender, dotted. — 

 Leaves scattered, about three inches long, much like those of C. midr 

 tiflora, R. but smaller ; acute at the base ; on very short peliols. Pe" 

 duncles axillary, beaiing a few racemose, greenish-white, pedicelled
