^schynanthus.] cvi. GESNERACEiB. (C. B. Clarke.) 341 



12. IE. chiritoides; Clarke; branches slender, leaves opposite and 

 ternate small broad-lanceolate bairy, flowers 1-3 together terminal, corolla 

 1^ in. straight, lobes short snbeqnal. 



Bhotan ; Nuttall. Assam ; Griffith. ? Khasia Mts., alt. 4000 ft., H.f. Sf T. 



Stems and leaves closely resembling those of JS. gracilis; but the leaves are not 

 rarely ternate. Pedicels -j^l in., villous. Sepals ^-3 in., linear, villous. Corolla 

 narrow-tubular below, suddenly expanding into a tubular upper portion ^ in diam., 

 minutely pilose; lobes | in., round-ovate, black-marked. Filaments included, 

 glabrous. Ovary villous. — A most remarkable species, the corolla, both in shape and 

 texture, resembling a Chiriia. The example of H. f. & T. shows leaves only, so that it 

 cannot be confidently referred anywhere. 



13. Si. levipes, Clarke ; branches very slender, leaves small opposite 

 and ternate, narrow-lanceolate hairy, flowers solitary terminal, pedicels 

 smooth, corolla 1\ in. 



Uppee Assam ; Mishmee, on Mt. Laim-planj, Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3815). 



Somewhat densely clothed with white or greyish hair on every part except the 

 pedicels. Branches elongate, sparingly rooting. Leaves \ by J- in., snbsessile. Pedi- 

 cels \ in., glabrous even when young. Sepals \ in., linear, flat, thinly herbaceous, 

 sparsely villous. Corolla (imperfectly preserved) appears nearly as of ^. chiritoides, 

 but narrower. 



14. ^. mannil, Kurz ms. ; branches somewhat thick pubescent up- 

 wards, leaves small elliptic early glabrate, pedicels axillary subsolitary, 

 corolla I in. narrow, mouth subequal. — Cyrtandracea, Griff, to. PI. Ind. Or. 

 t. 429, fig. 2, and Notul. iv. 159. 



Khasia Mts. ; Mann. S.E. Assam ; Patkoye Mts., Griffith (Kew Distrib. 

 n. 3816). 



Stem short ; branches several, 2-10 in., undivided, terete, soon glabrate. Leaves 

 densely approximated, 1^ by J in., subobtuse at both ends, coriaceous, young hairy, 

 mature dotted ; midrib prominent beneath ; petiole ^ in. Pedicels 0-^ in., villous. 

 Sepals \ in., villous. Corolla narrowly tubular-funnel-shaped, curved upwards, 

 pubescent without; lobes ^-J in. diam., roundish, black-marked. Filaments iax en- 

 serted, glandular-hairy. — Allied to ^. Andersoni (Clarke Comm. & Cyrt. Beng. t. 48, 

 upper flg.), which has hairy leaves attenuated to the petiole : as to the Inflorescence, 

 the pedicels of .M. Mannii are often approximated towards the ends of the branches, 

 but they are shorter than those of JE. Andersoni. 



15. IE. T/la,sonieB, Kurz. ms. ; branches somewhat thick pubescent 

 upwards, leaves small elhptic base rounded glabrous, pedicels axillary sub- 

 solitary, corolla ^ in. slender, mouth narrow subequal. 



PEar ; hills of the Red Karens, Mrs. Mason. 



Branches several, 5-10 in. , undivided, terete, early glabrate. Leaves (in the soli- 

 tary example) subsessile, ternate, j-1 by j in., cuneate, widest near the base ; midrib 

 prominent beneath. Corolla pubescent without; mouth scarcely ^ in. diam. — 

 Very nearly allied to .X. Mannii ; the shape of the leaves is different, and the corolla 

 considerably smaJler. 



** Calyx-lobes wide, obtuse, or large {bracts prominent). 



16. IE. acuminata, Wall. Cat. 6397 ; glabrous, leaves largeish elliptic 

 acuminate, peduncles subfasciculate 1- or few-fld., calyx deeply divided, 

 lobes 'j in. round, corolla ^ in. yellow-green. A. DC. Prodr. ix. 263 ; Clarke
