Follicles usnally solitary, 4-5 ty 1-2 in., recurved, oblong, narro-wed at both ends, 

 dorsally concave, rentrally 2-ribbed, orange-yelloTV. Seeds many, f in. long, bnried 

 in scarlet pulp. — Though mentioned by Boxbursjh and Beddome as a Malabar plant, 

 I have seen no specimen from continental India. It is remarkable as being the 

 only Ceylon species of this common Indian and tropical genus. The T. dichotmna ? 

 of Gibson's Catalogue of Bombay Plants is probably T. Heyneana. 



2. T. Keyneana, Wdl. in Bat. Heg. under t. 1273, and Cat. 1573 ;

Western Ghats ; from the Concan, southwards, common. 



Branches very stout, with pale smooth bark, grooved vrhen dry. Leaves 3-8 by 

 1-24 in-, eoriaceons, darjk brown and shining above when dry, paler beneath, midrib 

 and nerves beneath stout ; petiole ^-J in., base dilated. Peduncle 1-2 in. ; pedicels 

 |-1 in. ; bracts obsolete. Calyx very coriaeeous ; lobes hardly ovate, obtuse. 

 Corolla-tube 1 in., eylindric, stout, swollen at the top, limb 1 in. diam. ; lobes globose 

 in bud, falcately oblong, obtuse, crisped. Ovary very short; style filiform, top 

 obconie, stigma forked. Follicles very variable, ^1 in. long, sessile, slightly re- 

 curved, shortly sausage-shaped, not keeled or ribbed, beaked or not. Seeds 2 or more, 

 ^ in. long. 



3. T. corymbosa, Roxh. Fl. Ind. ii. 2S ; glabrous, leaves elliptic-oblMig 

 or lanceolate or oblanceolate obtuse or obtusely acuminate, nerves 10-16 pairs 

 very spreading, cymes peduncled many-fld. A. DC. Prodr. viii. 376 ; Wall. 

 Cat. 1772, and Bot. Reg. under t. 1273. 



PENiKO ; Wallich, PMlUps. SmoAPOHE, Anderson, Mtirton. — Distbib. Java. 



Very similar to T. Heyneana, but with smaller and more crowded flowers od 

 slenderer pedicels, more obtuse leaves with straighter nerves. Branches stout ; bark 

 pale, smooth, grooved when dry. Leaves 3-7 by 1^2^ in. (in on» specimen of Wallich's 

 12 by 4 in.), coriaceous, opaque, greenish or brown above when dry, pale beneath ; 

 petiole i-^ in. Cymes shortly peduncled, much branched ; bracts obsolete ; pedicels 

 i in. Calyx very coriaceous, lobes ronnded. CoroUa-tuhe J in., eylindric, swollen at 

 the top ; lobes faleately oblong, globose in bud. Ovary elongate-conical ; style stout, 

 stigma fnsiform. Follicles not seen. — This is certainly very near T. javanica, Miquel, 

 but differs in the longer pedicels, suppression of bracts, and in the coroUar-tub© being 

 dilated not in the middle, but at the top, as also in the stigma not being 2-fid ; the 

 latter character is however a very deceptive oiie, as the tearing away of the stigma 

 from the anthers often mutilates it. T. sphiereoarpa of Java is another close ally. 



4. T. birta, Sooh.f.; cymes pubescent, leaves eUiptic-ovate or -oblong 

 long acuminate, nerves 10-16 pairs arched, cymes peduncled many-fld. 



Maxacca; Maiingay. 



Leaves 4-8 in., coriaceoTis, almost caudate, base acute ; petiole \-\ in. Cymes 

 almost hirsute, with short close-set spreading hairs, peduncle branches and pedicels 

 stout. Calyx coriaceous, sometimes 7-lobed, lobes semicircular, eglandular. Corolla 

 glabrous, tube ^ in., stout, eylindric ; lobes short, globose in bud. Ooary elongate ; 

 style slender, top urn-shaped, stigma small fusiform. Follicles strongly recurved, 

 1-1| by J-| in., terete, not ribbed keeled or beaked. Seeds | in., few oi many. — 

 The specimens are very indifferent of this very distinct species. 



tt Branches rathe/r dender; leaves memhranous ; calyx small; cwolla-tvbe

6. T. coronaria, Br. m Sori. Kew. ed. 2, ii. 72 ; glabrous, leaves in each 

 pair unequal elliptic-oblong obovate or oblanceolate obtusely acuminate or cau- 

 date, pedurcles solitary or in pairs m the forks of the branches dichotomous 

 1-8-fid., coroUa-tube swollen below the middle, follicles recurved. A. DC.
