I. 139, t. 28). Gaertner however, defines and figures Tarenna as tetramerous. We 

 therefore for these pentamerous species revive the genns Stylocoryna (established in 

 1797 by Cavanilles ; Cav. Ic. IV. 46, t. 368) which that author describes as pentame- 

 rous and many-seeded. For the genus Webera of Schreber we reserve in the present 

 work certain tetramerous uni-ovulate plants which in external characters resemble 

 Ixora and Pavetta. In Eugler's Pflanzen-familien Webera, Schreb., is reduced to 

 Chomelia, a genus founded by Linngeus in 1737. This name Webera was subsequently 

 adopted by two botanists, Jacquin and Vellosa, for two distinct genera. There is 

 thus much confusion connected with it. 



Leaves much longer than broad, tapering about equally 

 to apex aud base ; cymes contracted : — 



Main nerves of leaves faint on both surfaces: — 

 Leaves oblong-lanceolate quite glabrous; calyx 

 puberulous, its lobes long, linear 

 Leaves narrowly elliptic-oblong ; lower surfaces 

 minutely adpressed-hairy ; the upper glabrous 

 except the midrib ; calyx pubescent, its lobes 

 very short, acute 

 Main nerves prominent on the lower surface : — 



Leaves hispid on the upper surface, softly 



pubescent on the lower ; calyx densely covered 



with long stiff pale hairs ; its lobes long, linear.., 3. S. Maingayi. 



Leaves about twice ( rarely three times ) as long as broad ; 



cymes spreading ; main-nerves 10 to 12 ( rarely so few as 



6) pairs, bold and prominent on the lower surface : — 



Leaves obovate, glabrous except for tufts of hair in 

 the nerve axils beneath 



Leaves elliptic-oblong to elliptic-lanceolate or 

 elliptic : — 



Both surfaces of the leaves glabrous except for a 



few hairs on the midrib ... 



Upper surface of the leaves hispidulous, the 



lower softly pubescent ... ... ... 6. 8. mollis. 



1. Stylocoryna angustifolia, King n. sp. A shrub 4 to 6 feet 

 high, glabrous except the inflorescence; young branches striate, thinner 

 than a goose-quill. Leaves coriaceous, narrowly oblong-oblanceolate, 

 much but rather bluntly acuminate, gradually narrowed from the middle 

 to the petiole, the edges (when dry) much recurved; both surfaces 

 blackish when dry, shining, the midrib deeply depressed on the upper, 

 bold and prominent on the lower surface ; main-nerves 5 or 6 pairs, 

 oblique, ascending, indistinct on both surfaces ; length 25 to 3*5 in. ; 

 breadth 75 to 1 in. ; petiole *2 to *35 in. Stipules broad, transversely 

 oblong, abruptly acuminate, '25 in. long. Cymes less than lin. in diam., 

 solitary, terminal, shortly pedunculate, not (even including the peduncles) 

 half so long as the leaves, the branches few, ascending, compressed, 

 puberulous with lanceolate spreading bracteoles ; 3- to 5-flowered.
