224 S. Kurz — Contrilutions towards a [No. 2, 



t t Umbels or racemes simple, very rarely slightly compound, axil- 

 lary or lateral, rarely spuriously terminal, i. e. arising 

 laterally from the summit of an axillary shoot. 

 O Leaves entire. 



X Calyx-lobes acute or acuminate, lanceolate or narrow. 



Racemes almost terminal, umbel-like, puberulous, A. grandifolia. 



X X Calyx-lobes broad, rounded or blunt. 



A Young shoots, and often also the inflorescence or 

 under surface of leaves, puberulous or pilose. 



Pedicels 8 — 10 lin. long, recurved ; calyx-lobes a line long, A. Amherstiana. 



A A Quite glabrous. 



Pedicels \ in. long ; leaves 5 — 10 in. long, obovate-lanceolate, A. polycephala. 



Pedicels about an inch long. 



Leaves 3 — 5 in. long ; corolla-lobes nearly 2 J lin. long, A. oblonga. 



Leaves 3 — 5 in. long, obovate-lanceolate, the lateral nerves rather distant, thin but 



strong, irregular, A. humilis. 



Very similar to the above but the leaves more coriaceous, the lateral nerves rather 



crowded, straight, thin and often obsolete, A. Uttoralis. 



Leaves more or less serrate or crenate (at least towards 

 the apex). 

 X Inflorescence pedunclcd, simple. 

 A Calyx-lobes bluntish. 

 Glabrous or the young shoots and slender-bracted racemes puberulous ; leaves acute, 



,, A. Wallichii. 

 Glabrous ; leaves blunt ; racemes umbel-like, puberulous or glabrous, somewhat shorter 



than the leaves, A. Brandisiana. 



A A Calyx-lobes acute. 



Rusty tomentose or pubescent ; leaves acuminate, A. Helferiana. 



X X Racemes peduncled, simply compound. 

 Habit of A. crispa, but leaves larger and green, callous-repand-toothed, conspicuously 

 gland-dotted beneath ; pedicels up to | in. long ; berries the size of a pea, striate, 



. . A.'jnemhranacca. 

 Very similar to the above, but racemes divaricately corymbose and spuriously terminal ; 



pedicels up to 2 in A. virens, 



X X % Inflorescence umbellate, sessile, or at least the pri- 

 mary racemes sessile and the lateral ones pedun- 

 cled. 



Umbels sessile, like the leaves glabrous ; calyx-lobes a line long, A. crispa. 



Leaves beneath and the sessile umbels brownish or rusty tomentose ; calyx -lobes 

 2|- lin. long, A. villosa.
