88 xcvi. LoGAUiACE^. (0. B. Clarke.) IStryehnos. 



large, many-seeded. S. eoluMna, Blume Humph, i. 70 ; A. DC. Prodr. ix. 14, 

 not of Linn, nor WaU.—JRheede Sort. Mai. viii. t. 24. 



Maiabab; Eheede. 



Tendrils present ; branches stout. Leaves 3^ by If in., base obtuse or rounded ; 

 petiole i-^ in. Peduncles ^ in., axillary, 3-.4-flowered ; pedicels J-| in. Berry ZJ 

 in. diam., globose. Seeds | in. diam., circular, discoid. — Only known from Eheede's 

 figure, -wbich may be incorrect as to the flowers. It appears from Eoxb. Fl. Ind. ed. 

 Carey & Wall. ii. 264, and from Beddome, that there probably exists a stout scandent 

 species in Malabar with fruit like S. Nux-^omica. (See 16, S. cinnamomifoUa.) 



8. S. maing^ayl, Clarke ; leaves elliptic acute S-aefved glabrous, cymes 

 large dense very many-fld., corolla-lobes 5 linear-oblong 5 times as long as the 

 tube, ovary hairy upwards. 



Maiacca, Maingay (Kew Dietrib. nn. 1041, 1042). 



Branches glabrous ; tendrils (in the examples). Leaves 4^ by 2 in., base obtuse; 

 petiole I in. Oymes 4 in., divided from the base, nearly glabrous 100-300-flowered. 

 Calyx glabrous, margin obscurely pubescent. Corolla Jin., throat villous, tube hardly 

 any. Filaments linear ; anther-cells ovate, hairy. Style twice as long as the ovary. 

 Berry not seen. 



Vae. "i frnctuosa; bearing tendrils, berry 2j in. diam. globose, rind thick, seeds 

 many | by J in. oblong-ellipsoid, testa silky, albumen horny, embryo small. — Penang ; 

 Maingay (Kew Distrib. u. 1038). This may be the fruiting state of S. Maingayi, 

 or of some totally different species. The seeds closely resemble those of 8. IgnaHi. 

 Bergius {Bentl. ^ Trim. Medic. PI. t. 179). 



** Corolla-tvhe longer than the calyx, not nmeh longer than its lobes. 



9. S> laurlna, Wall. Cat. 1591 ; leaves lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate 

 3-nerved glabrous, cymes large compound fulvous-pubescent, ovary hairy 

 upwards, berry 1 in. diam. globose 1-2-seeded. A. DC. Prodr. ix. 13 ; Benth. 

 in Jaum. Linn. Soc. i. 102 ; Kurz For. Fl. ii. 166. S. ovatifoUa, WaH. Cat. 

 1592 ; A. DC. I. ti. ; Benth. I. c. 103. 



Cachae ; Keenan. Pegu and Tenasseeim to Sinqapoee, common ; WaUich, 

 Griffith, Sec. — Disteib. Burma, Malaya. 



Tendrils often in pairs ; branchlets glabrous. Leaves 5 by 2 in., lanceolate, or 

 in S. ovatifolia, Wall. 5 by 2J in. and ovate-lanceolate, 3- or sub-5-nerved ; petiole 

 J in. Cymes 2-5 in., axillary and terminal, sessile (or in S. ovatifolia peduncled) ; 

 pedicels 0-^ in. Calyx glabrous, or margin obscurely pubescent. Corolla J in., 

 villous within ; tube rather longer than the lobes. Anther-cells oblong, slightly hairy. 

 Style much longer than the ovary, hairy downwards. — There are no tendrils on 

 Wallieh's example of S. ovatifolia, which Mr. Bentham considers, though imperfect, 

 to indicate a distinct species. 



10. S. septemnervis, Clarke; leaves elliptic acute 5-7-nerved glabrous, 

 cymes stout large fulvous-pubescent, ovary hairy, berry 1 in. diam. globose 

 1-seeded. 



Malacca ; Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1036). 



Scandent, Maingay. Leaves 4 by 2^ in. ; petiole I in. Cymes 2-6 in., sessile, 

 very many-fld. Calyx puberulous. Corolla J in., villous within ; tube about as long 

 as the lobes. Anther-cells oblong, hairy. Style longer than the ovary, hairy down- 

 wards. — Perhaps only a large-flowered variety of 8. laurina, but the nervation of 

 the"leaves diflTers considerably. 



11. S. Seddomei, Clarke; leaves elliptic acute 3-nerved glabrous, cymes 

 small fulvous-pubescent, ovary hairy, berry ^ in. diam. globose 1-2-seeded. S. 

 laurina, Thwaites Enum. 201, S. colubrina, WaU. Cat. 4455, aecmd shed 

 only.
