This variety comes near to Pavetta salicifolia, Blume, but its leaves have more 

 nnmerous main-nerves, and its corolla lobes are much shorter.

This species is not common. It has been confused with the much more common 

 I. Lohhii, Loud, from which it differs in having about half as many leaf -nerves. It 

 is to I. Lolhii that the description of I. fulgens given in the Flora of British India 

 really refers. 



13. IxoRA HDMiLis, King & Gamble, n, sp. A small unbranched 

 glabrous shrub little more than a foot high. Leaves large, coriaceous, 

 sessile, elliptic to sub-panduriform, the apex sub-acute, narrowed below 

 the middle to the broadly cordate auriculate base ; both surfaces brown 

 when dry, the lower paler and with the reticulations distinct ; main- 

 nerves 15 to 18 pairs, curved, slender but distinct, spreading and only 

 slightly curved length 9 to 12 in.; breadth 35 to 4 in. ; stipules of 

 opposite sides united into a short tube with a cusp on each side. Cyme 

 terminal, 2'5 to 3 in. long (including the short peduncle), and as much 

 across ; branches few and short, bracteoles minute. Calyx under '1 in. 

 long, its lobes shorter than the tube, blunt. Corolla-tuhe about 1*5 in. 

 long, narrowly cylindric ; the limb about '7 in. across ; its 4 lobes sub- 

 rotund, spreading. Anthers linear, apiculate, on short filaments inserted 

 in the throat. Fruit unknown.
