30 LXX7. RUBiACB^. (J. D. Hooker.) [Unccma. 



veins Tery slender. Peduncles ^1 in. Fruiting heads 3-4 in. diam. Capsules 

 f-l in., on pedicels as long or longer, crowned with a very small almost cupular 

 calyx-limb. — Boruean specimens hare silky corollas. 



7. tr. sessilifructus, JRoxb. Fl. Ind. i. 520 ; branclies slender 4-angled 

 glabrous, leaves elliptic obtuse or obtusely acuminate shining above glabrous 

 and rather glaucous beneath, nerves 5 pair, peduncles axUlaiy and in terminal 

 panicles bracteate in the middle, coroUa-tubes glabrous lobes silky or glabrous, 

 capsules sessile. Wall. Cat. 6109 ; Kurz Foi: Fl. ii. 71. Nauclea scandens, 

 Roxh. mss. le.pict. No. 1218. 



Eastern Bengal, from Sikkim and the Khasia Mts. to Chittagons, Pegu, and 

 Tenassbeim. 



Branches rather acutely angled. Leaves very UDiform, pale-coloured, 4-4J by 

 2_2J in., coriaceous, smooth on both surfaces, tip sometimes produced; nerves often 

 ■with tufts of hairs in the axils, very obliqae, veins obscure ; petiole y in. ; stipules 

 2-partite. Peduncles 1-H in., slender, often forming terminal panicles, puberu- 

 lous ; bracts 4, subulate, subequal. Heads 1 in. diam. ; fruiting not much larger. 

 Calyx-lobes small, rounded ; corolla-tiibe slender, lobes glabrous in Griffith's Ehasian 

 specimens, silky in "Wallich's. Capsules turgid, ^ in. long, pubescent. — I foUow 

 Wallich in accepting this as Roxburgh's S. sessilifructus, though the leaves are not 

 as described in the Plora Indica, 'soft underneath.' The stipules appear 2-paTtite, 

 but are not perfect. 



8. TI. laevig^ata, Wall. Cat. 6111; branches 4-angled glabrous, leaves 

 elliptic-lanceolate glabrous on both surfaces shining above not glaucous beneath, 

 nerves 5-6 pair[slender, stipules 2-fid, peduncles axillai'y and in terminal panicles 

 bracteate about the middle, bracts short obtuse, calyx obscui'ely toothed, corolla 

 glabrous, capsules sessile. 



Tenasserim and Pegu, Wallich, Falconer, Kurz; Khasia Mts., Griffith (Kew 

 Distrib. 2769). 



Very near U. sessilifructus, but the leaves are not at all glaucous beneath, the 

 bracts broad and obtuse, and the corolla perfectly glabrous. 



9. TJ. bomomalla, Miq. Fl. Ind. Sat. ii. 343 ; branches tomentose or 

 puberulous,. leaves ovate-lanceolate long acuminate opaque and puberulous 

 above especially on the nerves, shortly hairy beneath, nerves 6-8 pair, veins 

 remote, stipules 2-partite, peduncles all axillary bracteate above the middle, 

 flowers sessile, calyx-limb very short obscurely toothed, ovary minute cuneate 

 siUry, corolla pubescent. U. pilosa. Wall. Cat. 6108 C, not of Roxhurgh. 



Eastern Bengai, ; Jyntea hills, Wallich. — Distrib. Sumatra. 



Branches lower acutely 4-angled, upper nearly terete, closely finely pubescent. 

 Leaves 2i-3 J by 1-li, gradually tapering to the long points, base rounded ; petiole 

 slender, J in. ; stipules each divided into 2 subulate-lanceolate recurved subpersistent 

 segments. Peduncles stout, 1 in., tapering from the base ; bracts obtuse. Heads | in. 

 diam. ; receptacle small ; corolla | in. long. Capsules probably sessile. — DiiBfers 

 entirely from Roxburgh's U. pilosa in the fine pubescence, smaller size, petioled 

 leaves, and calyx-teeth. 



10. IT. ovalifolia, JRoxh. in Wall. Cat. under 6103 B. 0. {U. Gambier) ; 

 branches ■ slender glabrous, leaves broadly elliptic-ovate or orbicular obtusely 

 acuminate membranous opaque concolorous and quite glabrous on both surfaces, 

 wrinlded when dry, stipules 2-fld, peduncles short slender all axillary bracteate 

 near the base, flowers pediceUed, ealyx-lobes small rovmd, corollas small uni- 

 formly pubescent, capsules very slender. ? U. ovalifolia, Ro.ib. Fl. Ind. i. 129.
