104 LXXT. EUBIACE^, (J.D.Hooker.) [Wehom.. 



almost hispid ; bracts linear. Calyx-teeth subulate. Corolla-tube J in. ; lobes J the 

 length of the tube, oblong. Berries size of a pea, "with persistent calyx-teeth. Seeds 

 broadly cuneate, sides smooth, back granulate. — Very near a Bornean species (Beccart, 

 H. 1263). 



9. W. mollis, Wall. Cat. 8454 (Rondeletia ?) ; softly tomentose, leaves 

 elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate or oManoeolate acuminate, cymes open manyr 

 flowered with long- spreading hairs, calyx-tube slender pubescent much longer 

 than the lobes, berries many-seeded. 



Singapore, Wallich ; Pbjstang, Maingay (Kbit Distrib. 894). 



A small tree ; branches robust, softly tomentose and covered with long spreading^ 

 hairs, as are the cymes petioles and midrib beneath. Leaves either broad, 6-8 by 

 3-4 in., or narrow 4-S by 1-2 in., uniformly tomentose above, pale brown when dry ; 

 petiole short ; stipule large, ovate-lanceolate. Cymes subsessile, very many-flowered. 

 Calyx-teeth lanceolate, deciduous. Corolla-tiibe ^ in., 4 times as long as the oblong 

 short lobes. Berries size of a pea. Seeds angular. 



Sect. II. Fseudizora. Cells of the ovary 1-ovuled. 



f Tuhe of the corolla shorter than the lohes. 



10. W. stellulata, Sook.f. ; quite glabrous or nearly so, leaves elliptic- 

 lanceolate acuminate, nerves 7-9 pair, petiole slender, cymes small sessile or 

 shortly peduncled, flowers sessUe 2-bracteolate, calyx-teeth ovate-lanceolate, 

 corolla-lobes longer than the tube, the minute subulate tips stellately spread- 

 ing in bud. Stylocoryne Webera, JVall. Cat, 840, 1, in part. ? Pavetta aristata, 

 WaU. Cat. 6169. 



Penanq, Wallich, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 3086) ; Malacca, Maingay (850) ; 

 ?Tavot, Gomez. 



Branches slender, smooth, and whole plant either blaclc or du-ty green wheu dry. 

 Leaves 6-9 by 2-3 in., membranous, shining above, glabrous or puberulous beneath; 

 nerves slender; petiole ^-1 in. ; stipules with a slender cusp. Cymes 1-1 J in. diam;; 

 bracts subulate-lanceolate, persistent ; branches short and calyx puberulous ; flowers- 

 i in. long. Corolla with a ring of hairs in the throat ; lobes lanceolate, ciliolate. 

 Style hirsute ; stigma long, fusiform, grooved. — I have not in any specimens (I have 

 examined 7) found the corolla to open ; the stellate tips of its lobes are remarkable. 

 A mere scrap is on the sheet 8401 I. of "Wallich's Herbarium, but good specimens- 

 were distributed by him under that number to both the Hookerian and Benthamian 

 Herbaria. Wallicli's specimen of Pavetta aristata is probably the same, but I have 

 no other Tenasserira example. The nerves are more numerous, and it has longer ■ 

 cusps to the stipules; it is in young fruit only. Maingay in his notes states that the 

 ovary-cells have several ovules ; I find only one in each. 



11. W. attenuata, Hooh. f. ; quite glabrous, leaves elliptic-lanceolate 

 or oblanceolate acuminate polished above, nerves 5-7 pair very oblique, cymes 

 sessile or shortly peduncled brachiate glabrous lower branches rather long, 

 flowers pedicelled ebracteolate, calyx-teeth short triangular, corolla glabrous, 

 lobes linear longer than the tube, throat pubescent. Stylocoryne attenuata, 

 Voigt Ilort. Suburb. Calcut. 877. S. Webera, WaU. Cat. 8401 F. (m ITerb. 

 Hooh. ^ Benth.) ; Benth. Fl. Hongh. 156. 



Cultivated in the Calcutta Botanic Gardens; no doubt from China or the Khasia^ 

 Mts. ? — Distrib. Hongkong. 



A shrub or small tree, black when dry. Leaves 3-4 by 1-1^ in., coriaceous, nar-- 

 rowed into a petiole i-i in. Cymes' 1-2 in. high, branches not diraricate except in 

 fruit; bracts and bractcoles on the pedicels small; flowers white, J in. diam., quite 

 glabrous. Stigma fusiform. Friiit size of small pea. — There are no specimens of 

 this in AVallich's Herbarium, but good ones were distributed by him to Herbariums ■
