have no means of verifying. The floTvers vary fi.'om scarlet and pink to white and 

 yoilowish. — Kurz makes 2 varieties: — 1. Boxbwrghiana, with almost sessile leaves 

 often rounded at the base, and sutsessilo or sessile cymes; and 2. BUimeana (Pavetta 

 javanica, Blztms), -with short-petioled leaves acute at the base and laser cymes on 

 peduncles 1-1^ in. The latter of these T take to be /. amaena, Wall. Cat. 6121 A. B. C. 

 /. rosea, "Wall. Cat. 6124. from the Calcutta Garden, is probably a variety of this 

 ■with acute calyx-teeth and narrower corolla-lobes. 



26. I. amoena, V'all. Cat. 6121, D. E. F. ; G. Bon Gen. Syst. iii. 671 ; 

 glabrous or cymes puberulous, leaves petioled lanceolate or oblong- or obovate- 

 lanceolate acuminate, base acute, cymes sessile or peduncled oorymbiform, 

 flowers crowded, calyx-teetb ovate-lanceolate shorter than the ovary, corolla- 

 tube 1-lj in., lobes oblong obtuse, mouth naked.

This differs from I. stricta in its laxer more slender habit and longer lanceolate 

 acuminate, more membranous leaves with petioles §--j in., bnt I suspect it will prove 

 only a form of that plant. 



27. X. fulg'ezis, Jio.vh. Sort. JBeng. 10; Fl. Ind. i. 378; glabrous, branches 

 slender polished, leaves petioled linear- or obovate-oblong abruptly acutely or- 

 obtusely acuminate, base acute, shining above with 20-30 pair of deeply sunk 

 nerves, cjTues large sessile or shortly peduncled corymbiform and very open or 

 sub-brachiate, branches long slender spreading, flowers shortly pedicelled, calyx- 

 teeth very short obtuse, corolla-tube 1-1| in., lobes ovate acute, mouth naked.

A shrub, branches erect. Leaves 5-9 by lJ-2 in., membranous, dark brown when 

 dry, surface often raised between the nerves, base always acute ; petiole J-J in. ; 

 stipules closely grasping the stem, with slender cusps. Cyme quite sessile, secondary 

 branches long spreading horizontally, the whole forming a loose inflorescence 5-7 in. 

 broad but not so high ; bracts and bracteolcs short, ovate, acute ; flowers shortly 

 pedicelled, orange then scarlet. Fruit spherical or didymous, " succulent and seed 

 rugose," Eoxb. 



28. X. cong'esta, Boxh. Fl. Ind. i. 387 ; glabrous except the puberulous 

 cymes, leaves large petioled elliptic or elliptic-oblong or -lanceolate abruptly 

 obtusely acuminate, base rarely rounded, nerves strong 12-15 pair, stipules 

 short with short cusps, cymes sessile or subsessile corymbiform, branches very 

 stout suberect fastigate, calyx-teeth very short broadly triangular, corolla-tube 

 1-1^ in., lobes obtuse, mouth naked. DC. Prodr. iv. 486; Wall. Cat. 6138.

An evergreen tree (Kurz), closely allied to 7. fulgens, differing in the stouter 

 habit, very large usually coriaceous broader leaves 6-12 by 2-4 in., with nerves very 

 prominent beneath, and petioles |-| in., and the very stout cyme-brauches, which do 

 not spread, but are fastigiate; the stipules, too, are broader and shorter; the bracts 

 are the same, very triangular, and the flowers arc sometimes sessile, at others on 

 stoiit pedicels ; fruit ovoid or globose or didymous. 



29. X. ru^osula, Wall. Cat. 6158 ; glabrous except the cymes, leaves 

 petioled ovate or elliptic or lanceolate acuminate, base acute or rounded, stipules-
