A rambling, stout shrub ; branchlets thick. Leaves 5 by 1^ in., coriEiceous ; 

 nerves 8-20 pair ; petiole J in. or longer. Ci/mes hardly half so long as the leaves, 

 rusty-tomentose, terminal hardly larger than the axillary. Flowers yeUowish-white, 

 as of E. paniculata, but larger. — This is distinguished from the four preceding by its 

 thick branchlets, larger flowers and fruits, the nerves appear very variable in number, 

 but always more numerous than in E. paniculata. 



•* Cymes axillary short, terminal (if any) scarcely larger than the axillary. 



6. E. malaccensis, Clarhe ; leaves elliptic or obovate-oblong acuminate 

 coriaceous base cuneate or rounded, nerves distinctly reticulated raised beneath, 

 cymes and sepals vmifonnly closely fulvous tomentose, berry f in. subquadrate 

 ellipsoid.— Erycibe n. 7, Herh. Ind. Or. S.f. 8,- T.

A large seandent shrub ; innovations fulvous-pubescent ; branchlets obscurely 

 angular. Leaves 3 by 1|^ in. ; petiole ^-f. Cymes ^-2 in. Sepals not glabrescent 

 upwards. Flowers nearly as of E. paniculata. • 



7. E, Frincei, Wall. Cat. 1335; innovations rusty-pubescent, leaves

Penano, Wallich. Malacca, Griffith, Maingay. — Disteib. Java, Banca, Borneo. 



A powerful seandent, sometimes twining, shrub; branchlets scarcely angular, 

 obscurely rusty-pubescent. Leaves 4 by If in., coriaceous, suddenly narrowed at the 

 base, sometimes subcordate ;, nerves 5-7 pairs, nerves obscure ; petiole 1 in. Cymes 

 scarcely 1 in. diam., subsessile, rusty-viUous ; bracts i in., oblong. Flowers nearly 

 as of E. paniculata. Sepals villous or glabrate, coriaceous. 



8. E. G-riffithii, Clarke ; branchlets round glabrous, leaves large obovate- 

 oblong abruptly acuminate base cuneate, cymes sessile small axillary lax few-fld. 

 rufous-viUous, berries 1 in. ellipsoid. 



MBRsra, Griffith (Kew Distrib. u. 5880). Malacca, Maingay. 



A large, seandent shrub. Leaves 5i by 2 in., coriaceous, nerves 6 pairs, secondaiy 

 not prominent ; petiole ^ in. Cymes J-f in., densely clothed with dark-red hair. 

 Berry coriaceous, rough. 



9. E. Illaing'ayl, Clarice ; ionovations minutely hairy, leaves long- 

 petioled elliptic acuminate to an obtuse apex base cuneate, cymes axillary small 

 lax minutely rufous-pubescent. 



Malacca; Maingay. 



A large, seandent shrub ; branches round, glabrous or nearly so. Leaves 2J by 

 1^ in., nerves 6 pairs, secondary obscure; petiole ^ in. Cymes J in., deep red, 

 appearing glabrous, but minutely adpressedly pilose under a lens. — This appears 

 allied to E. Frincei ; but, besides the differences in indumentum, the long petioles give 

 it a habit of its own. 



10. E. coriacea, Wall. Cat. 1337 ; branchlets round glabrous or nearly 

 so, leaves large elliptic acuminate very coriaceous, nerves obscure on both 

 surfaces, cymes ^-2 m. minutely rusty-pubescent dense-fld. Chois. in Ann. Sc,
