Ibrachiate sessile or peduncled, flowers all pedicelled, calyx-teeth minute 

 triangular; corolla glabrous, mouth naked. 



Andaman Islands, in beach jungles, Heifer, Kttr^ ; Nicobar Isiands, Kurz. 



Possibly a form of 1. grandifoUa, but the leaves are of a very different shape, 

 almost or altogether sessile, very opSque, 5-8 by 3-4 in., with very slender nerves 

 and the veins not raised, margins often undulate ; stipules broad, cusps short. Cymes 

 <3bracteate even in bud; ramifications inarticulate; fully formed flowers not seen. 

 Fruits globose, size of a small pea; pedicel sometimes J in., slender. 



21. X. jucunda, Thw. Enum. 155, excl. var. y (not of Bot. Maff.); cymes 

 pubei'ulous, leaves lanceolate oblong elliptic or oblanceolate obtuse or obtusely 

 acuminate narrowed into a shoi't petiole, stipules very short mucronate or 

 shortly cuspidate, cymes sessile corymbiform usually with many branches from 

 the base, bracts or bracteoles niinute or obsolete, flowers pediceUed, calyx-teeth 

 minute obtuse, corolla white glabrous, tube 1-1^ in., lobes ovate acute, mouth 

 naked. Pavetta Wyckii, JSassh. Retz. i. 21, ex. Kurz in Journ. As. Sac. 1877, 

 ii. 149.

This again is very near /. grandifoUa, but the leaves are narrower and never so 

 large as they become in that plant, usually 4-5 by li-2 in., but sometimes 6-8 by 

 3-3i in., base rarely rounded, membranous or coriaceous, stipules much shorter, 

 ramifications of cyme inarticulate and coroUa-lobes acute, fruit the same, flowers 

 white or pink. 



§§ Branches tomeritose or pubescent. Cymes articulate at the ramifications, 

 hraohiate. 



'2:'2. I. villosa, Roxb. Sort. Beng. 10; Fl. Ind. i. 383; branches short, 

 petioles and cymes pubescent or tomentose, leaves large eUiptic-oblong lanceo- 

 late or oblanceolate caudate-acuminate, base narrowed or rounded, stipules with 

 long often spreading filiform points, cymes peduncled, branches long braohiate, 

 flowers white, calyx-teeth short, corolla glabrous, tube 1 in. very slender. DC.

 Tenang, Wallich, &c. 



Shrubby. Leaves 6-16 by 2J-5J in., very variable in shape, brown when dry, 

 thinly coriaceous, glabrous above, beneath pubescent chiefly on the 10-12 pair of 

 nerves or glabrate; petiole ^J in.; stipules ^-1 in., tomentose. Peduncle stout, 

 2-4 in. ; cymes and ramifications hardly articulate ; lower bracts often leafy, upper 

 . inear-subulate ; flowers crowded, fragrant, shortly pedicelled. Corolla-lobes oblong, 

 aiotched. Filainents subulate ; anthers slender. Style-arms slender, free or connate. 

 Fruit size of a pea, smooth, red. Seeds concave ventrally, with a median ridge (in 

 Eoxburgh's figure). — After flowering the calyx-teeth sometimes exceed the tube, when 

 the latter does not swell and form fruit. 



28. I. cuneifolia, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 10; Fl. Ind. i. 880; branches 

 short, petioles and cymes pubescent or puberulous, leaves lanceolate or oblong- 

 ■or elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate obtusely acuminate coriaceous base acute, 

 stipules with short filiform cusps, cymes sessile or short-peduncled brachiate, 

 branches short, calyx-teeth equalling or shorter than the ovary, corolla glabrous, 

 tube J-| in. very slender, mouth naked. BC. Prodi: iv. 487 ; W. & A. Prodr
