Toumefortia.] c. boeaginej!. (0. B. Clarke.) 147 



8,_ T. ovata, Wall. Cat. 908 ; leaves ovate and elliptic suddenly shortly 

 acuminate hairy or glabrescent beneath, calyx-teeth ovate-lanceolate in fruit 

 glistening white-setoae within, corolla-tube i-i in. G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 369 ; 

 DC. Prodr. 516. 



Bbitish Burma ; Eangoon, Wallick, M'Cldland. S. Andaman ; Kurz. 



Scandent, branches hairy. Leaves 3-6 in., rhomboid at the base ; tertiary nerves 

 obscure. Calyx-teeth jL in., about j- the length of the corolla-tube. Drupes |-^ in., 

 sessile. — In Kurz example, the corolla is permanent, the base greatly enlarged so as 

 to include the fruit ; this state appears induced by the attack of an insect. 



9. T. khasiana, Clarke ; leaves ovate acuminate glabrescent base 

 obtuse or subcordate, calyx-teeth ovate acute small, coroUa-tube exceeding 

 iin. 



Khasia Mts. ; Nongpriang, alt. 1300 ft., Clarke. 



Branchlets minutely hairy. Leaves 3^ by 1^ in., gradually acuminated, tertiary 

 nerves reticulated not very prominent ; petiole ^ in. Cymes rusty-pubescent ; branches 

 few, long, densely fld. Calyx-teeth scarcely i in. Brupe not seen. 



10. T. Kookeri, Clarke ; leaves ovate or elliptic acute glabrescent pro- 

 minently reticulated beneath, calyx-teeth lanceolate-Unear, corolla-tube ^-| in. 

 hardly exceeding the calyx. T. viridiflora, Gamble Darjeeling List, 57, not 

 of Wall. 



Sikkim; alt. 2-5000 ft., frequent; J. D. H., &c. 



Large, subscandent ; branches nearly glabrous. Leaves 4-5 by l\-2\ in,, obtuse 

 and unequal at the base ; tertiary nerves exceedingly prominent ; petiole ^ in. Cymes 

 terminal, diffuse, rusty pubescent ; branches long ; flowers sub-2-seriate. Calyx-teeth 

 J in. Drupes | in., ovoid, sessile. 



Vab. subiropica ; coroUa-tube more than ^ in. pentagonal with 5 haiiy lines with- 

 out, more than twice as long as the calyx-tube.— Sikkim ; by the great Eungait, 

 J. D. H. 



Sect. 3. Tetrandra. Kambling or subscandent shrubs. Leaves obtuse 

 at the base, distinctly petioled. Corolla 4-merous, narrowly tubular. 



11. T. VTallicllli, DC. Prodr. ix. 527 ; leaves ovate acute glabrescent 

 base rounded, coroUa-tube scarcely j in. twice or thrice as long as the calyx. 

 T. tetrandra. Wall. Cat. 911, not of Blwme. Tetrandra WaUichii, Miq. Fl. Ind. 

 Bat. ii. 928. 



Singapore & Penang; Wallich, Maingay. 'SicoBiss; Kurz. 



Sra?JcA«s nearly glabrous. Leaves 3 J by 1 J in., tertiary nerves obscure; petiole 

 ^ in. Cymes terminal, lax. Calyx-teeth ^ in., triangular-lanceolate. Drupes ^ in., 

 sessile. — Tetrandra glabra, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 929, has oblong leaves narrowed at 

 the base ; T. ZoUingeri, Miq. I. c. 928, has flowers J in. long ; these two make up the 

 old Toumefortia tetrandra, BhiTne Bijd. 845, DC. I. c. More material may reduce the 

 4 species of this section to 1. 



12. T. Walkerae, Clarlte ; leaves oblong acuminate glabrescent reticulated 

 beneath, corollartube ^ in. very narrow. T. WaUichii, Thwaites Enum. 214. 



Ceylon ; Walker, Thwaites. 



Leaves 3J by l-lf in., base ronnded; upper surface rugose by the impression of 

 the nerves. — This seems nearer both Tetrandra glabra and ZoUingeri than to Toume- 

 fortia WaUichii. 



DOUBTFTO SPECIES. 



T. ARBOBESCBNS, Lamk. III. ii. 417 ; DC. Prodr. ix. 529, is described as a tree from 

 India. No tree belonging to the genus is known in British India. 



T. TERNATA, Wall. Cat. 912, from Tavoy ; there is no specimen of this in 'Wallieh's 

 Herbarium.
