apetalous in the_ cultivated S. chinensis {Undley), but not usually so in the wild 

 plant. The Khasia examples have the fruits mostly sessile, agreeing thus more closely 

 with S. chineitds than with S. javanica, in which the fruits are usually shortly 

 pedieelled. ./ . j .r 



3. S. adnata, Wall. Cat. 482 ; a spreading shrub, leaflets often decur- 

 rent, stipules usually small or 0, drupes red. DC. Prodr. iv. 322; H.f. 8f T. 

 in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 180.

A shrub, 4-8 ft. Leaves 12 in. ; leaflets 5-9, 3-5 in., oblong-lanceolate, puberu-

_ Shrubs or small trees. Leaves opposite, rarely 3-nate; stipules incon- 

 spicuous (in the Indian species). Flowers in terminal or subterminal corym- 

 bose or panicled cymes, all fertile in Indian (outer radiant and neuter in some 

 European, &c., species). Calyx-f.uhe turbinate or suboylindrjc ; limb short, 

 6-toothed, persistent. Corolla campanulate rotate or tubular ; lobes 5, equal. 

 ■Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla-tube. Ovary 1-3-ceUed ; style short, stigma 

 sub-3-lobed; ovules 1 in each cell, pendulous. Drwpe 1- or aub-2-3-celled, 

 1-seeded. Seed oblong, compressed, concave on the ventral face or with the 

 margins greatly incurved ; albumen fleshy, uniform or ruminated ; embryo 

 minute. — Distkib. Species 80, in N. temperate regions and in the Andes ; a few 

 in the West Indies and Madagascar. 



Sect. I. Eu- Viburnum (Oei-sted). Cymes corymbose. Drupe 1-celled, 

 compressed ; endocarp not intruded. Albumen uniform, margins little incurved. 



* Corolla rotate or shortly campanulate, lobes spreading (in V. corylifoUum 

 unlmown). 



1. V. cotinifolium, Don Prodr. 141 ; leaves ovate or elliptic base 

 obtuse usually woolly beneath, corymb-branches stellately tomentose, calyx 

 glabrous limb very short, corolla shortly campanulate lobes about as long as the 

 tube. DC. Prodr. iv. 327; Wight III. t. 121, A fig. 1-5; Lot. Reg. t. 1650;

Kashmir; alt. 6000-11,000 ft., to Kumaon, frequent. East Bhotan; Griffith 

 <Kew Djstrib. No. 3399). 



A spreading shrub, 5-10 ft. high. Leaves 3 by 2 in., obtuse or subacute, sub- 

 entire rarely coarsely erenate, stellately-wooUy at least when young, in age often 

 glabrous except on the nerves beneath ; petiole ^ in. Corymbs 2-3 in. diam., generally 

 -terminal, dense, branches stout ; bracteoles linear, equalling the calyx-tijbe. Corolla- 

 tube i by i in., glabrous, lobes round. Anthers large, subexsert. Style very short, 

 conical. Drupe J by J in., compressed, broad-oblong, red. Seed dorsally 2-grooved, 

 ventrally sub-concave 3-grooved. — Leaves usually thick, reticulately rugose and 

 entire, but sometimes thin, glabrous, and somewhat strongly erenate. V. Lantana, 

 Linn., differs but slightly by the denticulate leaves and shorter corolla- tube. 



2. V. corylifolium, JI. f. 8r T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 174 ; branchlets 

 and large fruiting corymb rufous-hirsute, leaves ovate or elliptic base subcor-
