Bhotan and Khasia Mts. ; alt. 3-7000 ft., Griffith, H.f. ^ T., &o. 



Branches stout, hirsute towards the extremities. Leaves subsessile, 4 by IJ in., 

 acute, base obtuse or rounded, coriaceous, rugose with impressed nerves, margins 

 often recurved. Peduncle J in. ; pedicels |— 15 in., hairy or glabrescent; bracts j5in. 

 Calyx-lobes in early flower | in., lanceolate or scarcely triangular; in early fruit 

 enlarged, elliptic or ovate, foliaoeous, overlapping at the margins, appearing decurrent 

 down the young fruit and produced beneath it ; in ripe fruit again less prominent, 

 triangulair, scarcely overlapping. Corolla J by j in., tubular, shortly lobed, glabrous, 

 white or rose, with red transverse V-shaped marks. Berry J in. and more, widely 

 hemispheric, 5-iiibbed, hardly 5-gonal. 



3. P. Xaisterl, King ms. ; leaves elliptio-ohlong acute subentire glabrous 

 not rugsse beneath, corym'bs small very short-peduncled, corolla smaD rose-red. 



Bhotan ; Duphla Hills, alt. 7000 ft.. Lister. 



Branebes stout, angular towards the extremities. Leaves subsessile 3 J by 1^ in., 

 obtuse, shortly cordate at the ba«e, nerves (primary and secondary) elevated on the 

 upper surface. Peduncles from beneath the leaves, ^— ^ in. ; pedicels 2-3, ^ in. ; 

 bracts Jj in. Calyx-lobes ^ in., broadly elliptic, obtuse iu bud. Corolla (in bud) ^^ 

 in long. — Closely allied to P. rugosmm and as though a starved form of it with 

 depauperated corymbs and small flowers ; but the texture and nervation of the leaves 

 give it a -widely different appearance. 



4. P. flavum, Hooh. f. in Bot. Mag. t. 4910; leaves elliptic acute sub- 

 entire or slightly creuate glabrous or sidy on the midrib beneath, pedicels 

 densely faaciclei hardly corymbose, coroUa yellow.

Branches round,, pubescent towards the extremity. Leaves 3^ by 1 J in., rounded 

 at the base, coriaceous, rugose, obscurely crenate ; petiole ^-^ in. Pedicels f in., 

 pilose, thickened upwards, densely fascicled on very short spurs ; bracts ^ in., lanceo- 

 late ; pedicels and calyx-tube coroUoid, yellowish (in the Kew picture). Calyx-lobes 

 in flower ^ in., elliptie-lanceolate, striate, pilose. Corolla | by ^ in., tubular, 

 inflated in the middle, shortly lobed, pubescent without, yellow. Berry ^ in. diam. 

 and upwards, crowned by the spreading narrowly lanceolate acute calyx-teeth. 



5. P. Hookeri, Clarke ; leaves elliptic acute crenate or serrate gla- 

 brous or hairy on the midrib beneath, pedicels fascicled or hardly corymbose, 

 corolla yellow. 



SiKKiM ; alt. 5-8000 ft., J. D. H., Treutler, &c., frequent. Bhotan ; Nuttall. 



Intermediate between P. ntgosum and P. flavum ; the dried examples are (from the 

 serrated leaves) always arranged under P. rugosum, but the corolla is a clear yellow 

 or (when young) a greenish-yellow. The calyx lobes in the buds are larger and more 

 obtuse than in any flowering or fruiting example of P. rugosum; the pedicels are 

 subfascicled ; nevertheless, it appears really more allied to P. rugosum than to P. 

 fldvum.
