3. Webera Wallichii, Hook fil. Fl. Br. Ind. IIT. 105. A shrub 4 

 to 8 feet high, glabrous except the branches of the inflorescence and the 

 calyx : young branches thinner than a goose-quill, usually dark-coloured, 

 obscurely 4-angled. Leaves membranous, oblong-elliptic, oblong, or el- 

 liptic, rarely oblanceolate, the apex shortly acuminate, the base cuneate ; 

 both surfaces more or less darkly olivaceous when dry, the midrib rather 

 bold ; main-nerves 8 to 10 pairs, slightly curved, ascending, thin and 

 only slightly prominent ; length 5 to 8 in. ; breadth 2 to 275 in., petiole 

 •4 to '6 in. Stipules broadly triangular, acuminate, "25 in. long. Panicles 

 terminal, much branched, shortly pedunculate, about 1*25 to 2*5 in. 

 long including the peduncle, and equally broad branches and their 

 divisions puberulous, cymose ; bracteoles triangular acute, about 1 in. 

 long. Flowers '4 to '6 in. long, on compressed pedicels longer than the 

 calyx. Calyx '15 in. long, bracteolate (often bibracteolate) at the base, 

 shortly campanulate, with 5 broadly triangular acute teeth, puberulous 

 externally. Corolla '45 in. long, glabrous, salver-shaped, the short tube 

 with a belt of hair inside : the lobes linear-lanceolate, longer than the 

 tube, reflexed. Anthers 5, exserted, linear-oblong, the apex sub-acute, 

 the base blunt and prolonged beyond the attachment to the short fila- 

 ment. Style cylindric, hairy in the middle : stigma as long as the style, 

 compressed, exserted. Fruit fusiform, glabrous, reticulate when dry, 

 shining, not ridged, crowned by the small calyx, '4 in. long and '3 in. in 

 diam. Seeds 2. Stylocoryne Wehera, Wall. Cat. 840, I {for the most

4. Webera Curtisii, King, n. sp. A small shrub ; all parts glab- 

 rous except the cinereous-puberulous inflorescence. Leaves coriaceous, 

 narrowly elliptic, shortly acuminate, the base cuneate ; both surfaces 

 drying dark olivaceous-brown, the lower paler ; main-nerves 5 or 6 pairs, 

 rather straight, ascending: length 2*5 to 35 in.; breadth '9 to 1*35 in. 

 petiole '15 to "3 in.; stipules ovate or ovate-lanceolate, much acuminate. 

 Cymes terminal, sub-sessile, only about 1 in. in diam. each way, tricho- 

 tomous, few-flowered, the short branches and the flower-pedicels cine- 

 reous-puberulous, angled ; pedicels slightly longer than the calyx ; 

 Calyx '1 in. long, campanulate ; the limb with 5 acute triangular erect 

 lobes. Corolla-tuhe widely cylindric, not much exceeding the calyx, and 

 about one-third of the length of the 5 imbricate," oblong, blunt, reflexed 

 lobes of the limb. Style shorter than the lobes of the limb, but exserted 

 on account of their reflexion ; clavate, grooved. Ovary 2-celled : cells 

 each with a single ovule. Fruit globular, crowned by the small
