Gyrtandra.l cvi. gbsnbraoe^. (C. B. Clarke.) 375' 



1. C. dispar, DC. Prodr. ix. 282 ; leaves apparently alternate petioled 

 lanceolate-obovate, peduncles short, pedicels umbelled, calyx persistent. 

 C. frutescens. Wall. Cat. '&^T partly, not of Jack. 



Penawq; WaUick, Maingay. — Distbib. Sumatra. 



A shrub ; branchlets tessellated with imbricate whitened scales, somewhat quad- 

 rangalar. Leaves opposite, one of the pair reduced to a linear rudiment of the petiole 

 or 0; the other 8 by 3 in., acuminate, base cuneate, glabrate except the rufous-villous 

 nerves beneath ; petiole J-l in. Peduncles Q-\ in. ; bracts J in., lanceolate j pedicels 

 3-8, j-f in. Calyx \ in., fulvous-hirsute, lobed half-way down. Corolla-tube J in., 

 slightly curved, fulvous-hirsute without ; limb nearly equally 5-lobed. Disc unilateral, 

 quadrangular. Ovary fulvous-pubescent. Berry i in., elongate ellipsoid, tipped by 

 Uie style-base. 



2. C. pllosa, Blume Bijd. 770 ; leaves opposite snbeqnal sessile obovate- 

 lanceolate, villous above, peduncles very short, flowers involucred capitate, 

 calyx deciduous. DC. Prodr. ix. 282. 



Tenassekim ; Heifer. Sinqapoee j Lohb. — Disteib. Java, Sumatra. 



A shrub ; branchlets 4-angled ; innovations rufous silky. Leaves 7 by 3J in., 

 acute, base narrowed, closely serrate ; nerves beneath fulvous-villous. Peduncles 

 scarcely ^ in. ; bracts 1 in., united into a spathaeeous involucre, deciduous. Calyx 

 ^ in., lobed about half-way down, rufous-hairy. Corolla-tube 1 in., straight, fulvous- 

 silky without, dirty yellow. Ovary and style hairy. Berry f in., elongate ellipsoid, 

 beaked by the style-base, tessellated externally (in the dried state). 



3. C. deourrens, De Vriese PI. Ind. Bat. Eeinw. 14 ; leaves opposite 

 subequal subsessile obovate-lanceolate glabrous above, peduncles very short, 

 flowers involucrate capitate. C. frutescens, Wall. Cat. 807 partly, not of 

 Jack. 



Penans j WalUch. — Disteib. Malaya to Borneo. 



Hardly specifically separable from C. pilosa. The leaves, even in their young 

 stage, are glabrous on the upper surface, and have the lateral nerves more oblique 

 the midrib. 



4. C. bicolor. Jack in Trans. Linn. Sob. xiv. 27 ; leaves opposite (one 

 usually reduced to a rudiment) loug-petioled elliptic, peduncles short 

 deflexed, flowers capitate, calyx deciduous. DC. Prodr. ix. 281. 



Malacca; Maingay.— Distmb. Sumatra., 



An undershrub; stem short, simple, stout j innovations closely fulvous-villous. 

 Leaves 8 by 5 in., base obtuse, rounded or shortly cordate, coriaceous, mature fulvous- 

 silky beneath or ultimately glabrate except on the nerves ; petiole 4 in. Peduncles 

 1-2 in. J bracts I in., united into a spathaeeous involucre, deciduous. Galyx^in., 

 rufous-hairy; lobes | in., lanceolate. Corolla IJ in., fulvous-silky without, pale- 

 yellow purple-spotted within (Maingay). Anthers broadly oblong, minutely pilose at 

 both ends. Hisc annular. Ovary and style glabrous. Berry i in., narrowly ovoid- 

 eylindric— C. Blumeana of the Javau botanists, figured (as O. pendula, Blume) in 

 Hook. Ic. PI. t. 736, is common in Java, and perhaps does not specifically differ ; it 

 has white flowers, and the leaves more glabrous beneath. 



5. C. humills, Blume Bijd. p. 769 ; leaves opposite (one often reduced 

 to a' rudiment) long-petioled elliptic acute, peduncles hardly any, heads 

 involucrate, calyx tubular deciduous. DC. Prodr. 9, p. 281. 



SiNGAPOEB ; Prince (Ic. Ined. Kew).— DiSTElB. Java. 



Scarcely differs from C. bicolor. The leaves are often rhomboid or crenate at the 

 base, the peduncles very short not decurved.
