503 XXXIII. RUTACEiE. (J. D. Hooker.) 



j'j-J in. ; bracts minute. Flowers variable in size, J-4 in. diam., heavy-scented ; buds 

 oblong. Petals narrow-oblong, subacute, finely pubescent. Stamens alternately longer ; 

 anthers didymoua. Ovary usually hairy ; 2-7- but usually 6-oelled_. Berry ovoid or 

 oblong, as large as a large pea, yellow. Seed nearly as long. — There is a specimen from 

 N. VV. India in Koyle's Herbarium, but probably from a garden, as he makes no mention 

 of it in his Illustrations of Himalayan Plants. The foUowing varieties are established 

 by Prof. Oliver ; — 



Var. 1 ; leaflets 2J-34 by 1-14 ™., calyx subentire, style equalling or exceeding the 

 ovary. Bergera villosa, Wall. Cat. 6372. Cookia punctata, Hassh. jMiq.M. Ind. Sat. 

 i. pt. 2, 624. — Penang (Java, Philippines). 



Vak. 2 ; leaflets 3^-6 by 1-1^-2 in., cymes broader, flowers larger, calyx with trian- 

 gular lobes. — B. integerrima, Soxb. I.e.; DC. Prodr. i. 537. B. villosa, WaU. Cat. 

 6372. — Sikkim, ascending to 4000 ft. ; Nipal, Assam, Birma. 



Vae. 3 ; leaflets narrower IJ-S^ by {-li in., calyx lobulate, style often exceeding 

 the ovary. — CeJ'lon. 



2. m. blrsutum, Oliv. in Joum. Linn. Soc. v. Suppl. ii. 40 ; tomentose, 

 leaflets 10-25 obscurely toothed, cymes densely tomentose almost hirsute, 

 ovary 5-celled, stigma about as broad as the style, berry very hairy. — 

 Aurantiacea, Wall. Cat. 8516. 



Penang, Jach, Porter, &c. ; Singapore, WaUich; Peqc, McLelland; Tenasseeim, 

 Griffith, Heifer. — Distkib. Philippine Islds. 



Very like M. pvieacens, and probably only a variety of that plant, but more tomen- 

 tose, especially the inflorescence, which is almost hirsute, as is the berry. The flowers 

 are as small as the smallest var. of M. jovhescens. 



14. mURKAVA, Linn. 



Unarmed shrubs or small trees. Leaves pinnate ; leaflets alternate, 

 petioled, base oblique or cuneate. Flowers solitary and axillary, or in 

 terminal corymbs or axillary cymes. Calyx 5-fid or -partite. Petals 5, 

 free, imbricate. Stamens 10, inserted round an elongate disk, filaments 

 linear-subulate, the alternate shorter ; anthers short, small. ' Ovary 

 2-5-ceUed, narrowed into a long deciduous style, stigma capitate ; ovules 

 solitarj' or -2 superimposed or collateral in each cell. Berry 1-2-celled, 

 oblong or ovoid, 1-2-seeded. Seed with a woolly or glabrous testa; 

 cotyledons equal. — Distbjb. Species 4, tropical Asiatic. 



1. M. exotica, Linn. ; leaves glabrous 3-8-foliolate, leaflets oblique, 

 cymes terminal corymbose. Oliv. in Joum. Linn. Soc. v. Suppl. ii. 28 ; Roxb.

Throughout the hotter parts of India, from Gaewhal to Assam and Biema, and 

 southward to Chittagong, Tkavancok, and Ceylon. — Disteib. Eastward to China, 

 Australia, and the Pacific Islands. 



A very variable evergreen plant, of which two forms occur— a bushy and a sub- 

 arboreous. _ Branches slender, young parts pubescent. Leaves 4-5 in. ; leaflets 

 shortly petioled, 1-8 in., ovate or obovate, or rhomboid, obtuse or obtusely acuminate 

 and often notched at the tip, usually very oblique at the base, shining above, quite 

 entire, newer slender. Corymbs terminal and axillary, few- or many-flowered Flowers 

 campanulate, 4 in. diam., pure white, very fragrant. S^ah glandular, acute. Petals 

 oblong-lanceolate, spreading above. Stamens alternately longer. Ovary 2-celled; 

 st;^le slender, stigma capitate ; ovules solitary in each cell or 2 superposed. !Berry 4 in., 

 apiculate, globose or ovoid, 1-2-seeded. 



Vae. 1 ; shrubby, coiymbs many-flowered, ovary 2-celled.— M. exotica, Auct. M.
