A shrub. Leaves 1-lf in.,muchciin6ate at the base, i'^ioaiers pedicelled and sessile. 

 — Differs from E. lavis var. aspera in the narrowed base of the leaves, the more lax 

 corymb, and the slightly larger flowers. 



5. E. retusa, Wall. Cat. 903; leaves small obovate mature hairy 

 beneath, corymbs small hairy terminal on lateral spurs, calyx-lobes lanceolate- 

 acute, flowers and fruit as in F. leevis but rather smaller. DC. Prodr, ix. 511r 

 Beurreria retusa, G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 390. 



Buema; Pagamew, Wallich. 



Branches scraggy, as of a tough shrub. Leaves Ij by | in., base cuneate, shortly 

 acute or obtuse not retuse, nerves distant not prominent ; petiole \ in. — This may be 

 a stunted example of E. Isvis var. aspera ; but the leaves are much narrowed at the 

 base, the calyx-teeth remarkably narrow and acute. In habit it is remote from E. 

 obtuHfolia and the flowers are hardly half as large. 



6. E. ovalifolia, Wight Ic. t. 1383 ; innovations and corymbs pubescent 

 or tomentose, leaves elliptic subobtuae mature glabrous. Bedd, For, Man. 167.

Otherwise as E. Imiis, from which it only differs in the obtuse leaves. No fruit 

 seen. 



7. E. Wig'btiana, Wall. Cat. 7013 ; nearly glabrous, leaves lanceolate 

 and obovate-lanceolate scarcely acute, corymbs mostly terminal dense. G. Don

Leaves If by ^ in. in Wight's type example, but larger and broader, approaching' 



E. IcEvis in others. Corymbs, when young, pubescent and subtomentose in Wight's 

 example, soon glabrescent. Flowers and drupes as of E. leevis. 



8. E. parallela, Clarhe; nearly glabrous, leaves elliptic or obovate, 

 nerves 8 pair oblique parallel approximate, inflorescence flowers and frait as in 



F. Icevis but rather smaller. 



Btiema ; banks of the Irrawaddy, Griffith {Km Distrib. n. 6004). 



Branches round, glabrous. Leaves If by |-1 in., retuse and subacute on the 

 same branch, cuneate at the base, glabrous even when young, prominently striate by 

 the straight primary nerves hardly J in. apart ; petiole i in. GoryrrS)S minutely 

 pubescent. — Well-marked by the strong, straight, parallel, closely-placed primary 

 nerves, not much like any other species ; the leaves are usually obtuse, sometimes 

 retuse. 



9. E. Wallichiana, S. f.Sr T.; Gamble Darjeeling List, 57 ; nearly
