Stryehnos.] XCTI. loganiaceje. (0. B. Clarke.) 89 



Teayancore ; Beddome. Obtion ; Thwaites. 



Tendrils often in pairs ; branehlets glabrbns. Leaves 3J by 1| in., base obtuse, 

 rarely obscurely 5-nerved ; petiole ^ in. Cymes i-1 J in., sessile ; pedicels i^o-f in. 

 Calyx puberulous. Corolla ^ in., villous within ; tube rather longer than the lobes. 

 Anther-cells oblong, glabrous or nearly so. Style longer than the ovary, hairy down- 

 ■wards. — This differs from S. laurina in the small cymes, pedioelled flowers, and much 

 smaller berry. It seems more closely allied to 8. oolubrina, Linn., from which it only 

 differs by the longer corolla-tube. 



Vak. coriaoea ; leaves coriaceous, petiole ^ in. 8. oonacea, Thwaites Enum. 425. 

 — Oeylon ; Thwaites. 



12. S> malaocensis, Benth. in, Joum. lAnn. Soo. i, 101 ; leaves ovate 

 acute 6-nerved glabrous, cymes small subcapitate shortly peduncled flilvous- 

 pubeseent, ovary glabrous. S. Gautheriana, Pierre ms. in Herb. Kew. 



Tenassbeim or Andamaks ; Heifer. Malacca; Griffith.— Jhs'cnTB. Cambodia. 



Tendrils present; branchlets puberulous. Leaves 3J by 1| in., base obtuse; 

 petiole I in. Peduncles |-f in. ; cymes ^_f in. diam. ; pedicels nardly any. Calyx 

 puberulous. Corolla ^ in., villous within, tube shorter than the lobes. Artther-cells 

 ovate, densely hairy. Berry not seen.— Easily distinguished by the perfectly glabrous 

 ovary and style, and densely hairy anthers. 



13. S> axillaris, Colebr. in Trans. Linn. Soe. xii. 366, t. 15; leaves 

 elliptic acuminate 3-nerved glabrous, cymes small subcapitate sessile pubescent, 

 ovary glabrous. Wall. Cat. 1587 ; A. DC. Prodr. ix. 13 ; Benth. in Jomm,

Khasia Mts., alt. 3-4000 ft ; Wallich, Griffith, H.f. ^ T. 



Tendrils present ; branchlets puberulous. Leaves 2J by 1 in., base obtuse ; petiole 

 ^-| in. Cymes J-j in. ; pedicels hardly any. Corolla i in., villous within, tube 

 shorter than the lobes. Anther-cells oblong, somewhat hairy. Berry not seen. — 

 Very near 8, malaecensis ; the leaves are smaller more acuminate, the cymes sessile or 

 very nearly so, the anther-cells not acute upwards. 



14. S. pubescens, Clarke; leaves ovate acute 3-5-nerved hairy be- 

 neath, cymes small axillary dense, ovary glabrous, berry ^ in. diam. globose 

 1-seeded. 



Maiacca; Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1040). 



Tendrils present ; branches hairy. Leaves 2 by 1 in., base obtuse; petiole i in. 

 Cymes j-f in. diam., sessile or nearly so, puberulous, pedicels hardly any. Corolla ^ 

 . in., 5-merous, tube longer than the lobes, throat with a dense ring of hairs. Anther- 

 cells subsessile below the ring of hairs, ovate, acute, apiculate, base only hairy. 

 Ovary small, style hardly any. Pericarp crustaceous. Seeds y in. diam., peltate, 

 hemispheric. 



15. Sm rufa, Clarke ; leaves elliptic acute 3-6-nerved rufous-hairy beneath, 

 cymes dense axillary, berry 1^ diam. globose many-seeded. 



Maiacoa; Maingay (Kew Distrib. n. 1034). 



Branches patently rufous hairy, without tendrils (in the specimen). Leaves 4 by 

 2 in., base obtuse or subcordate, glabrescent above, harsh, scabrous; petiole Jin., 

 rufous-hairy. Cymes f in. diam., axillary, sessile, pubescent. Flowers not seen. 



Vae. Candollei ; leaves nearly glabrous beneath 3-nerved. 8. acuminata, "Wall. 

 Cat. 1593 partly; A. DC. Prodr. ix. 14.— Amherst, Wallich. 



*** Corolla-tube linear, 6-10 times longer than the calyx.
