of Hooker and Bentham, under the niimLer 8401 P., and it is unquestionably the 

 Hongkong plant. We have also Calcutta Garden specimens li-om Griffith (Kew 

 Distrib. 2794) with the name W. attenuata. Voigt (Hort. Subub. Calcutta) couples 

 It with St. coriacea, giving to both the habitat " (China) Khasia hills," and so many 

 Chinese plants are Khasiau that it may well be found there.

A bush ; branches slender, and leaves black when dry. Leaves 5-7 by 1 J-2 in.,. 

 membranous, usually shining above ; petiole slender, ^-1 in. ; stipules triangular, cus- 

 pidate. Cymes 2-3 in., not brachiate, branches with sometimes a line of pubescence 

 on one side, lower suberect ; bracts linear-lanceolate, persistent ; bracteoles triangular, 

 acute. Corolla-tube ^ in.; lobes linear, much longer, margins sometimes ciliate. 

 Style villous, stigma narrowly fusiform. Fruit size of a pea. Seeds .plano-convex.— 

 At first sight like W. odorata, but tlie cymes are glabrous, as is the much shorter- 

 corolla-tube ; the flowers are sessile and 2-bracteolate, and the ovules solitary. A 

 similar plant from the confines of Birma and Assam, collected by Griffith on the 

 ~ gai hills, has shorter very coriaceous leaves, with fewer nerves. 



15. W. Kurzll, Hooh. f.\ glabrous, leaves petioled elliptic- or obovate- 

 lanceolate acuminate, nerves 8-10 pair, cymes sessile glabrous, flowers pedicelled 

 ebracteolate at the base, calyx-teeth triangular obtuse, corolla glabrous, lobes- 

 linear-oblong much longer than the tube, throat woolly, seeds concavo-convex.
