66 King & Gamble — Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 3, 



linear-lanceolate, persistent. Floiver -pedicels shorter than the calyx, brac- 

 teolate. Calyx about '15 in. long, narrowly campanulate, cut about half- 

 way down into 5 acute triangular lobes. Corolla '4 in. long ; the tube 

 cylindric, only '1 in. long ; the limb '3 in. long, its lobes imbricate* 

 oblong, acuminate with free reflexed linear points ; throat slightly hairy. 

 Anthers linear, acuminate, on short filaments, included. Ovary with 

 two 1-ovuled cells ; style much shorter than the fusiform hairy includ- 

 ed stigma. Fruit broadly ovoid or sub-globular, crowned by the calyx- 

 lobes, glabrous, 4 in. long. Seeds 2. Stylocoryne Wehera^ Wall. Cat. 840

Some of the specimens of this have the leaves of a pale olivaceons-brown colour 

 (when dry), contrasting in this respect strongly in colour with the majority which 

 are very dark. The species is well-marked by its corolla, the tube of which is only 

 one-quarter as long as the oblong lobes of the limb, while the five linear points 

 of the latter are reflexed and form a kind of star at the apex of the flower-buds. 

 The lobes do not appear to expand, for in all the specimens I have seen they remain 

 convolute. 



2. Webera Ridleyi H.H.W. Pearson MSS. in Herb. Kew. A low 

 glabrous shrub ; young branches pale-brown, obtusely 4-angled. Leaves 

 thinly coriaceous, narrowly elliptic, acute or shortly acuminate, the base 

 cuneate; both surfaces olivaceous- brown, shining (especially the upper) 

 when dry, main-nerves 10 to 14 pairs, curved, spreading, faint but 

 distinct on both surfaces ; length 55 to 7 in. ; breadth 2 to 3 in. ; 

 petioles '4 to '7 in. ; stipules broadly triangular, acute, about '2 in. long. 

 Cymes several together, terminal, in short pedicels, trichotomous, few- 

 flowered ; the branchlets angled and with a few permanent boat-shaped 

 acute bracteoles. Flower pedicels about as long as the calyx, bibrac- 

 teolate near the apex. Calyx '25 to '3 in. long, campanulate, the limb as 

 long as the tube, deeply divided into 5 oblong-lanceolate acuminate 

 lobes. Corolla not much longer than the calyx ; the tube short ; the 

 limb three times longer and deeply divided into 5 oblong, acute, contorted 

 lobes with ciliate margins. Anthers 5, inserted on the throat in a band 

 of hair. Ovary with two uni-ovulate cells ; style very short : stigma 

 fusiform, sulcate, glabrous. Fruit fusiform, glabrous, the calyx-scar 

 apiculate.

 but with longer corolla lobes ciliate at the margin.
