106 Lxxy. BUBiACEaj. (J. D. Hooker.) IWehera. 



Very similar to W. WallicMi, but differing in the pedicelled ebraeteolate flowers, 

 and more obtuse calyx-lobes, and the seeds, which are deeply excavated ventrally. 



16. W. lucens, Hooh. f. ; quite glabrous, leaves small linear-oblong 

 Ban-owly elliptic-lanceolate obtuse or acute black and shining when dry, cymes 

 sessile, branches spreading, flowers pedicelled, calyx ebracteolata, teeth short 

 triangular, coroUa-tube equalling the linear lobes, throat pubescent. Pavetta

A bush, very black when dry. Leaves 2-4 by Sj-lJ in., rather coriaceous, nerves 

 ■6-7 pair; petiole very short; stipules triangular. Cymes 1-2 in.; lower bracts often 

 foliaceous. Corolla ^ in. diam., 4-5-cleft. Style hairy; stigma slender fusiform, 

 shortly exserted. Ovules 1 in each cell. Fruit size of a large pea, sometimes oblong 

 and diseased ; calyx-limb persistent.

tt Tube (or tube and limb in W. campaniflora) of corolla longer than tJie

17. W. cainpanifiora, Hoolc. f. ; leaves elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate 

 acuminate above glabrous or scaberulous beneath pubescent or glabrate, nerves 

 12-16 pair, cymes sessile or deflexed in bud hirsute, flowers sessile and pedi- 

 celled, calyx hirsute teeth ovate-lanceolate, corolla puberulous, tube short, limb 

 campanulate, lobes short ovate acute. Stylocoryne Webera, Wall. Cat. 8401 K.

A large bush or small tree ; branches rather slender, glabrous, except the young 

 shoots. Leaves 4-12 by 2-4 in., nearly black when dry, membranous, usually shining 

 above, beneath hispidly pubescent or puberulous or glabrate, nerves slender ; petiole 

 J-| in., hispid or glabrate ; stipules triangular, cuspidate. Cy??ies at first shai-ply 

 decurved, at length horizontal or suberect, 1-3 in. long, lower branches spreading ; 

 bracts persistent, lanceolate, lower stipuliform ; flowers | in. long, when pedicelled 

 ebracteolate at the base ; buds with a very short tube and large fusiform acute limb. 

 Calyx-teeth, longer than the ovary. Corolla- limb ^-| in. diam., throat glabrous, tuba 

 villous within. Anthers long, sessile. Style short, hairy; stigma very long, fusi- 

 form, curved, grooved. Ovules solitary in each cell. — A very remarkable species ; the 

 ■corolla is quite unlike that of any other. A Malacca plant in young fruit of GriiHth's 

 (Kew Distrib. 2795) may be it, as also a Mergui one of Griffith's in Wight's Her- 

 harium, also in fruit only. 



18. W. canarica, Soolc f. ; glabrous, leaves elliptic or oblanceolate 

 .acuminate glabrous on both surfaces, nerves about 15 pair, cymes small sessile 

 few-fld. puberulous, branches very stout, flowers shortly pedicelled ebracteolate 

 .at the base, calyx obconic obscurely toothed, corolla-tube cylindric about twice 

 as long as the linear lobes, style pubescent. ? Pavetta canarica, Bedd. Fl. Sylv., 

 For. Man. 134/8. 



South Oanaea ; on the Ghats, Beddome. Cochin, Wight. 



Branches stout. Leaves 6-8 by 2-2^ in., dark green when dry, membranous; 

 petiole ^-^ in. Bracts short, triangular. Buds 1 in., cylindric, obtuse ; corolla lobes 

 linear, half the length of the tube or more, throat glabrous, tube villous within. 

 Anthtrs sessile. Silyic pubescent; stigma very long, narrowly fusiform. Ovules one 

 in each cell, on large placentas.— Doubtfully identified with Beddome's insufficient 

 diagnosis. 



19. W. ? nUa^irica, Hooh. f. ; young branches pubescent, leaves obovate- 

 lanceolate subcaudate-acumiuate pubescent beneath, nerves 12-15 pair, cymes
