a less slender corolla, and fruit carpels not half as long ; and is only known in culti- 

 vation in India. 



30. J. subg'landulosuni, Kurz in Trimen Jowm. Bot. 1875, p. 329, 

 and For. Fl. ii. 161 ; glabrous, leaves laige obovate-oHong shortly acuminate, 

 racemes axillary very lax, calyx broad teeth very short, corolla-tube ^— | in., 

 lobes half as long obovate-oblong blunt. 



South Andaman ; Karz. Pegtt and Tenasskbim, in the tropical forests not in- 

 requent {Kwz). 



Scandent. Leaves 7 by 2| in., base obtusely cuneate, membranous ; nerves 10 

 pairs, secondary distinct. Flowers white ; bracts minute, subulate. Carpels ^ hj ^ 

 in., ellipsoid. — Description chiefly from Kurz, as his example is very imperfect ; the 

 inflorescence appears strictly cymose, as in the two preceding species ; there is nothing 

 in the material or description to show that it differs from J. aftenuaium but in the 

 somewhat larger leaves. 



31. J. sxnllacifolluitt, Cfriff. tns.; glabrous, leaves large ovate acute 

 coriaceous 3-nerved, cymes axillary and terttiinal stout compound, calyx-teeth 

 short thick triangular, flowers and fruits large. 



Maxacca ; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3698), Maingay. 



A large climber. Leaves 7 by 3| in., base obtuse or almost cordate, very thick, 

 secondary nerves thin distinct ; petiole J in. Cymes 5-20-flowered, not lax ; bracts 

 ^ in., lanceolate ; pedicels i-J in. Calyx-teeth ^ in. Corolla white tinged with 

 pink, tube |-1 in., lobes f by | in., acute. Carpels 1 by ^-| in. ; pedicels often 

 greatly enlarged, J in. diam. below the fruit. — This has been supposed a var. merely 

 of J. crassifoliwm, Blume, which however has smaller obscurely 3-nerved leaves, and 

 the cymes much slenderer, with pedicels often | in. 



** Leaves (some of tbem) compound : in 3. auriculatum and brevilobum 

 often in appearance simple, the lateral leaflets being only occasionally present 

 and then exceedingly small. (The series proceeds from the less- to the more- 

 compound-leaved species.)

Deccan PEOTNStTLA and Ceylon, common (cultivated in Scinde, North-west India, 

 Sengal, Siam and Mauritius). 



Scandent ; pubescent or villous, sometimes nearly glabrous. Leaves (when simple 

 and the terminal leaflets) 1 by f in., shortly acute or hardly acuminate, base obtuse 

 or rounded, ashy-pubescent sometimes glabrescent; nerves few, lowest oblique; 

 lateral leaflets when present rarely exceeding §• in. diam. Cymes terminal, paniculate, 

 grey-pubescent ; bracts ^ in., linear ; pedicels O-J in. Calyx-teeth minute, narrowly 

 oblong. CoroUa-lobes i in., elliptic. Carpels J in. diam., globose, black. — The J. 

 mawritiaivwm, Bojer, reduced to J. aiiriodatum by Baker (§\. Maurit. 220) has the 

 leaves subequally 3-foliolate, the corolla-tube nearly 1 in. J. affine, Wight, with the 

 style half as long as corolla-tube, and J. ovatifolium, Wight, with the stigmas ex- 

 serted, are dimorphic forms.
