 Flowers in terminal eymes. Calyx small, 5-partite, segments with glandular 

 ■tips, eglandular within. Corolla salver-shaped, tube very slender, throat hairy,

1. XL. fifyticosa, A. DC. Prodr. viii. 352 ; leaves elliptic or eUiptie- 

 ianceolate obtusely caudate shining above, nerves 10-13 pairs, cymes subaessile, 

 bracts ovate '^ute, corolla-tube inflated at the top. Bot. Mag. t. 4220.

Peou, Mabtaean and Tenassekim ; Wallich, &e., often planted. — Distjbib. Java, 

 Borneo. 



A large evergreen shrub. Leaves 4-8 by lJ-3 in., thinly coriaceous, green when 

 •dry, shining above, paler beneath; nerves slightly arched, reticulations distinct. 

 Cymes short, nearly flat-topped ; peduncle very short, stout ; branches short, thick ; 

 bracts i in. Calyx-segments ^in., ovate. Corolla pink, tube Ij in., limb 1^2 in. 

 -diam., mouth red. Ova/ry villous. Ripe carpels usually solitary, 1-seeded, urn- 

 ^shaped, \-l in. long, obliquely truncate, pubescent, veined; pericarp thin, greenish 

 purple. 



2. K. macropliylla, Sooh.f. ; leaves oblong obovate or eUiptic-oblong 

 'Obtusely caudate opaque above, nerves 18-20 pairs, cymes subsessile, bracts im- 

 bricate boat-shaped obtuse, ooroUa^tube inflated in the middle. 



SrnTGAPOBB; Lobh. 



Leaves fi-9 by 2-3 in., thinly coriaceous, green above, paler beneath; nerves as in 

 K. fruticosa ; petiole hardly any. Cyme with a short stout peduncle and a few 

 ihiek branches 1 in. long, dothed with small broad bracts. Calyx-lobes rounded. 

 Corolla-tube 1 in., very slender, limb \^ in. diam., lobes obovate. F'rmt not seen. — 

 This resembles K. fruticosa, but diflfers conspicuously in the long opaque leaves, 

 shorter petioles, imbricate bracts, and corolla-tube with the stamens in the middle. 

 — I have seen only one specimen. 



3. K. paucifiora, Hook.f. ; leaves elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate obtusely 

 caudate shining above, nerves 6-8 pairs, cymes sessile reduced to a very short 

 simple rachis, bracts ovate obtuse, coroUa^tube inflated at the top, 



Maxacca; Mt. Ophir, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1056). 



Leaves yellow-green when dry, 4-6 by li^-2 J in., firmly but thinly coriaceous, yel- 

 lower beneath ; petiole J in. Cyme-rachis |-^ in. long, quite sessile, loosely clothed 

 with bracts. Calyx-lobes broad, obtuse. Corolla-tube 1 J-2 in., very slender ; lobes 1 in., 

 linear-oblong, longer and narrower than in the two preceding species. Fruit not 

 ■seen. — ^This is referred by Maingay (mss.) to Blume's K. flavida of New Guinea, 

 which is described as having intensely green leaves and cymoae flowers, 



13, KKAZYA, Dme. 



Glabrous .erect shrubs. Leaves alternate, thick, nerves obscure. Ftowerg ia 

 dense terminal cymes, corymbs or thyrsi. Calyx short, 6-partite, eglandular.
