In all the Provinces ; common. — Disteib., British India, Ceylon : 

 tropical Asia and Australia. 



In Perak there is a form of this (King's Collector Nos. 5106 and 

 5276) with leaves rather larger than the measurements above given, 

 and nearly glabrous- 



3. Ziztphus Kunstlbri, King n. sp. A scandent or straggling 

 shrub : young shoots rusty-pubescqut ; spines, stout, solitary, decurved. 

 Leaves coriaceous, elliptio-oblong, acute qr shortly acuminate, very finely 

 serrate, narrowed to* the minutely cordate base ; upper surface shining, 

 glabrous except the impressed rusty-pubescent nerves ; the lower dull, 

 rusty-pubescent especially on the 3 main vertical nerves and their 

 lateral branches ; length 4 to 6 in., breadth 2 to 3 in., petiole "15 to '2 

 in. Cymes 5- to 8-flowered, sub-sessile and crowded on branches 4 to 

 10 in. long, many of them in the axils of leaves much smaller than 

 those of the stem. Calyx rusty-tomentose outside, glabrous inside ; its 

 teeth broadly triangular, acute, spreading. Disc with 5 broad truncate

 smaller leaves than those of the barren branches. Named in memory
