■gularly toothed. Corolla infundibular; tube glabrous, hardly exceeding the calyx- 

 limb ; lobes fl, triangular-lanceolate, narrow, villous within. Ovary 7-celled. Drupe 

 unripe, glabrous, crowned with the tubular calyx-limb. — ^This very fine species is by 

 the stipules and other characters closely allied to L. Helferi, next which it should 

 rank though it has minute bracts.

 minutely substrigosely appreased-pubescent, leaves large shortly petioled elliptic- 

 oblanceolate or elliptic-oblong membranous acuminate, base acute, nerves 7 pair, 

 -veins strong sparingly reticulate, flowers densely clustered sessile and shortly 

 pedicelled ebracteate, calyx-teeth 4 triangular minute. 



Malacca, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 871). — Distrib. Sumatra. 



Branches slender for the size of the foliage, minutely granulate, pale yellowish red 

 when dry, and rather rough to the touch. Leaves 8-10 by 2^-3 j in,, pale greenish 

 when dry, thinly scaberulous beneath, opaque on both surfaces, nerves obBque : petiole 

 ^ in. ; stipules very small, ^ in., triangular, acute, strigose. Flowers crowded. Cah/x 

 short, pubescent. Corolla funnel-shaped, \ in. long, puberulous or glabrate ; lobes 

 pubescent within. Drwpe not seen. 



38. Xi. pterospermus, Wight in Cdlc. Joum. Nat. Hist. vi. 510 ; branches 

 petioles and nerves beneath glabrous or finely puberulous, leaves subsessile oblong 

 or elliptic-oblong acuminate, base rounded often oblique rarely acute, nerves 

 10-12 pair, veins reticulate, flowers sessile crowded hispid, calyx-teeth triangu- 

 lar, pyrenes 2-winged. 



SLiXAOCA, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 2929), Maingay (866). 



Branches as thick as a crow-quill. Leaves 4-7 by l^-2j in., pale brownish when 

 .dry, rather coriaceous ; petiole ^ in. ; stipules oblong-lanceolate, ^ in., strigose. 

 Flowers numerous, bracts very minute or 0. Calyx hispid. Corolla glabrate. Drupe 

 large, ^ in. diara., globose, glabrous, black, crowned by the shortly tubular calyx- 

 limb ; pyrenes 3-5, trigonous, with a longitudinal wing on each side of the convex or 

 keeled back. — Wight is in error in calling the stipules small. 



39. Xi, Wig'htianus, Hooh. f. ; branches petioles and leaves beneath 

 scaberulous or strigillose, leaves petioled oblong acuminate rigid, base subacute 

 or rounded, nerves 12-13 pair, veins branched and reticulate, flowers sessile 

 clustered ebracteate, calyx-teeth triangular. L. venosus, Wight in Calc. Journ.
