1. COELOSPERMUM TRUNCATUM, King & Gamble. A shrubby glabrous 

 creeper : youngest branches thinner than a goose-quill, pale-brown, 

 terete. Leaves coriaceous, ellipfcic-oblong, or sub-obovate, shortly and 

 rather obtusely acuminate, the base cuneate ; both surfaces (when dry) 

 dark-brown with a tinge of olivaceous, dull ; the midrib depressed 

 on the upper, prominent on the lower ; main-nerves about 4 pairs, 

 curving upwards, slender, distinct on the lower surface ; length 3 to 4 

 in., in breadth 1*25 to 2*5 in. ; petiole '3 to '5 in. Stipules small, trans- 

 versely oblong, very short (often only "05 in. long), pale : coriaceous, 

 2-lobed. Panicles about 1 in. long and twice as broad, ternately um- 

 bellate on the apex of naked compressed peduncles as long as or longer 

 than the leaves : the umbels with 5 or 6 spreading flowers, minutely 

 but deciduously bracteolate at the base. Flowers *4 in. long, on unequal 

 pedicels shorter than themselves. Galyx-tuhe campanulate, the limb 

 membranous, truncate or obscurely 6-toothed, deciduous, '1 in. long, 

 Corolla '35 in. long, clavate in bud, the tube short, hairy within, the 

 throat glabrous, the lobes 5, valvate in bud, their apices inflexed. 

 Stamens 5, inserted in the throat of the corolla. Anthers ImesLV^ exserted.

2. CoELOSPERMUM SCANDENS, BlumeBijd. 994. Scandent : the young 

 branches cylindric, pale-brown, thinner than a goose-quill. Leaves 

 broadly elliptic, or obovate-elliptic, much narrowed to the base ; midrib 

 and 4 or 6 pairs of spreading nerves faintly depressed on the upper 

 surface, slightly prominent on the lower ; length 2*5 to 5 in. ; petioles 

 •35 to "6 in. Stipules less than "I in. long, narrow. Peduncles usually 

 longer than the leaves, slender, compressed, bearing at the apex three 

 pedunculate few-flowered umbels. Flower-pedicels unequal, shorter than
