38 D. Prain — ^4 review of the genus Colquhounia. [No. 1, 



Motipub ; Sirobifurar, Watt n. 7443 ! Burma ; Taong Doung Mts., 

 Wallich : Shan Hills at Toungye, Collett ! at Mone, Manders ! Fulton ! 

 at Lwekaw, Manders ! Ruby Mines district, frequent, King's collectors ! 



A shrub, 8 to 10 feet high, and apparently never scandent ; the 

 flowers are sometimes red (Collett, King's Collectors) sometimes salmon- 

 coloured with crimson spots (Wallich) sometimes uniformly salmon- 

 coloured (Collett, Fulton, Manders). 



yak. (3. pauciflora Prain ; almost glabrous throughout, flowers 



in loose few-flowered axillary heads ; corolla red, tube very 



short, throat wide. C. coccinea Hemsl., Journ. Linn. Soc, 



xxvi, 299 (1890) not of Wall. 



S. China ; Ichang, A. Henry n. 3334 ! Burma ; Kya Valley, Gatacre ! 



A very distinct, always scandent form, with a much more slender 



habit than the preceding ; the nutlets are however not distinguishable, 



and the tomentum is of precisely the same character, though so much 



slighter in degree. If this is treated as a distinct species, which will 



be necessary if specific rank continues to be claimed for C. tenuiflora, it 



might be known as C. pauciflora. ^ 



var. y. tenuiflora Prain ; sparsely hairy throughout, flowers in 

 loose many-flowered long axillary racemes ; corolla red, tube 

 very long, throat narrowed. C, tenuiflora Hook, f., Flor. 

 Brit, Ind., iv, 674 (1885). C. elegans Kurz, For. Flor. Brit. 

 Burma, ii, 278 (1877) not of Wallich. G. martabanica Kurz

Also a very distinct form ; in habit exactly like the last, but with 

 much longer flowers than even in the type, and with an absolutely, as 

 well as relatively, narrower corolla-throat. Distinct, however, though 

 the form is it is not convenient to give it specific rank, as this would 

 necessitate the recognition of C. parviflora, G. mollis, and G . pauciflora as 

 distinct species also.
