SPECIES OF WHICH THE FRUIT IS UNKNOWN. 



49. P. polyaeura, Kurz in L<md. Joum. Bot. 1875, 327 ; For. Fl. ii. 

 H, not of DC; all parts except the leayes above ferruginous-pubescent or 

 -tomentose, leaves very large long-petioled broadly or narrawly elliptic acute 

 at both ends, nerves 30 pair close-set and spreading, stipules very large, cymes 

 terminal small subsessile tricbotomous ebracteolate, flowers sessile crowded. 



South Andaman Island, Kurs. 



Branches stout. Leaves 7-12 by 3^5i in., membranous, red-brown when dry, 

 nerves slender ; petiole 2-2^ in. ; stipules J in. broadly ovate, connate, entire or cleft 

 at the top. Cymes densely tomentose, 2-3 in. diam., branches spreading ; flowers 

 small. Calyx minutely 5-toothed. Corolla-tube very short. — Habit a good deal of 

 P. Belferiana, but less hirsute, with fewer nerves, and wanting the bracteoles. 



60. P. penangrensis, Sook. f. ; scandent, glabrous, leaves rhombic- 

 elliptic or -obovate abruptly acuminate narrowed into the petiole, nerves very 

 obscure, cymes terminal long-peduncled, branches umbellate, flowers pediceUed 

 umbellate, bracts and bracteoles persistent. 



Penano ; top of Government Hill, Mamgay. 



Dark brown or blackish when dry, apparently rather fleshy when fresh. Leame 

 4-5 by l|-2^ in., thin when dry, nerves 6-8 pair, very spreading and arched; petiole 

 \~\ in.; stipules rounded, connate, persistent. C^mes with a very stout erect peduncle 

 2-3 in. ; primary branches about 5, stout, |— IJ in. ; bracts J in., subulate ; umbel- 

 lules ^ in. diam., very many-flowered; pedicels ^-|^ in., bracteoles subulate. Gfdy<e- 

 tuhe oboonic; teeth triangular, glabrous or puberulous. CoroBa-teie broad, much 

 longer than the calyx, hoary ; throat hirsute. Wniit (unripe) stoutly pedieelled, ^-J 

 in. long, narrowly ellipsoid, furrowed, crowned by the calyx-teeth. 



61. P. Jolmsoni, Hook. f. ; glabrous, leaves obovate or eUiptic-obo- 

 vate or oblanceolate acute or abruptly acuminate tapering into a very short 

 petiole, nerves 6-10 pair very slender, cymes terminal sessile or subsessUe very 

 small short ovoid or subglobose dense-floweied ebracteolate villous at the base, 

 flowers sessile. Psychotria, Wall. Cat. 8352. 



Westeen Peninsitla ; Cochin, Wi^'Ai; (Kew Distrib. Iii2), Johns(m. 



Branches stout, smooth, terete, pale. Leaves 3-5 by 1^-2 in., pale when dry, 

 rather coriaceous, nerves finely reticulate ; stipules ovate, acute or rounded and cua.- 

 pidate, coriaceous, glabrous. Cymes^ very rarely effuse and 1 J in. diam. ; peduncle 

 or short, arising out of long villous hairs ; branches stout, short, opposite ; flowers 

 subternate, very small, glabrous. Corolla very shortly funnel-shaped, throat villous. 

 — A very distinct species, of which I have seen no fruit. 



62. P. nudiflora, 7F.^.<1. iVot^r: 434; glabrous, leaves obovate cuneate- 

 obovate or oblanceolate abruptly acuminate narrowed into the petiole, nerves 

 12-16 pair very slender, stipules connate ovate obtuse, cymes peduncled sub- 

 capitate or shortly panicled ebracteolate, calyx-limb truncate, eorollartube 

 elongate cylindric. Psychotria, Wall. Cat. 8346. 



Thavanooee, Seyne; Courtallam, Wight. 



Branches smooth. Leaves 4-7 by 1-2|^ in., brown or greenish when dry, tliin ; 

 nerves hardly stronger than the veins, very spreading ; petiole J-f in. ; stipules J-J 

 in., coriaceous, broad, obtuse. Cyme-peduncle 1 in. and less; branches opposite sub- 

 opposite and obscurely whorled, very stout, short, irregularly dichotomously divided ; 

 flowers nearly j in. long. Ca,h/x very short, limb quite entire. Corolla the longest 

 of the Indian species, 4-lobed, glabrous without and within. — ^Wight labels this 

 Grumilea, but there is no fruit advanced enough to determine this point.
