Himalaya, alt. 1-6000 ft., from Kashmir to Bhotan, frequent. Bengait Plaiit 

 to the Sunderbunds, frequent. — DiaiEiB. Temperate and subtropical regions. 



Stems 1-2 ft., decumbent, then erect, quadrangular, puberulous. Leaves 2-i in., 

 variously lobed, base narrowed, lower petioled, more or less pubescent, usually hoary 

 on the nerves beneath. Spikes at first dense, in fruit 3-10 in. Cah/x -Ig-f^ in., 

 apparently of 4 obloiig and 1 linear segments united into a tube by their scarious 

 margins; teeth most minute. Corolla^ in., blue; lobes subquadrate, throat hairy. 

 Fyrenes ^^'g in., oblong, 3-ribbed, smooth dorsally, their inner faces with minute 

 white flakiug cells similar to those of Bouchea hyderabadensis. — T. Thomson collected 

 at Kussoor, and Clarke at Churaba, a monstrous form with proliferous spikes, forming 

 densely branched panicles, the lower flowers all pedicelled, variously altered and 

 infertile. ' 



TIIL GEUnrSXA,, Mume. 



Trees or large shrubs, stellately tomentose. Lewoes opposite, every 

 alternate pair usually widely separated so that there appear to be 2 alternate 

 leaves on each internode, petioled, nearly entire. Cymes peduncled, axillary, 

 many-flowered; bracts linear, small. Calyx campanulate, shortly 6-6- 

 toothed. CoroZZa tubular ; limb equally 5-6-toothed. SiawzeM* 6;' anthers 

 exserted; cells oblong, parallel. Ovary imperfectly 5-3-celled; cells 2- 

 ovuled; style exserted, stigma dilated 5-3-lobed. Drupe small; pyrenes 

 5-2, 1-seeded. — Species 4, Malayan.

A lofty tree. Leaves 8 by 3 in., base cuneate or rounded, mature glabrate above; 

 petiole 1 in. Peduncles 1-2 in.; cymes 2-3 in. diam., densely stellate-tomentose. 

 Corolla \ in., lilac, occasionally 6-merous, fide Teijs. & Binnend. Drupe J in. diam. — 

 Kesembling the arborescent Callicarpas ; readily distinguished by the mixture of 

 both opposite and alternato leaves, and by the 5-merous flowers. C. hexandra, Teijs. 

 & Binn. I. c, is C. Cumingiana, Schauer I. o. 644, or very nearly so, and perhaps 

 neither is distinct from Creunsia farinosa; but Cuming's n. 1773, reduced to Q. 

 farinosa by Schauer, is probably, as stated in Gen. PI. 2, p. 1150, a good species. 



IX. CAXii:.XCARPA, Linn. 



Shrubs or trees ; innovations stellately haii-y. Leaves opposite, rarely 

 ternately, whorled toothed or subentire (in C. lobata lobed). Cymes axillary, 

 shorter than the leaves; bracts linear, inconspicuous. CalifX very small 

 (less than ^ in.), campanulate, limb minutely 4-lobed, unaltered in fruit. 

 Corolla small (about j in.), tubular, subsymmetric, purple or red ; lobes 4, 

 subquadrate-oblong, patent. Stamens 4; anthers exserted, 2-celied, glan- 

 dular. Ovary, imperfectly 2-celled, cells 2-ovuled; style linear, stigma 

 dilated obscurely bifid. Brupe small (less than ^ in.), globose ; pyrenes 4, 

 or by suppression fewer, 1-seeded. Seeds shortly oblong, exalbuminous. — 

 Species 30, mostly E. Asian, Malayan and N. Australian ; a few Polynesian, 

 Columbian and W. Indian.
