Leaves 4i by 2^ in., suddenly cuneate and narrowed into the petiole, often 

 almost spathulate, mature shining above, usually very white beneath ; petiole |-J in. 

 Peduncles usually J-i in. ; cyme 1-2 in. diam., globose. Fruit deep-purple, finally 

 black. — Widely cultivated for the strong contrast between the upper and lower 

 surface of the leaves. The figure in Bot. Mag. (t. 2107) is doubted by Bentham 1. c, 

 and with reason. 



8. C. pedunculata, Br. Prodr. 513; shrubby, leaves broadly elliptic 

 acuminate base rounded closely serrulate mature puberulous above thinly 

 Btellate-flocculose beneath, peduncles often as long as the petiole. Benth.

Leaves 5 by 2 J in., membranous, stellate tomentum somewhat deciduous; petiole 

 J 'in., stellate-woolly. Oymes 1-2 in. diam., globose, dense, stellately woolly ; 

 peduncles J-J in. Fruit y, in. diam., dark purple. — Easily distinguished from 

 C. eana by the nearly concolorous surfaces of the leaf. 



9. C. rubella^ Lindl. Bot. Beg. t. 883; arborescent, leaves very

SiKKiM, alt. 2000 ft. ; ClarJce. Khasia and Jaintea Mts., alt. 2-4000 ft., 

 frequent; Wallich, H.f. S( T., &c.— Distkib. China. 



An erect, single-stemmed shrub, 10-20 ft., with horizontal branches and com- 

 planate tuliage. Leaves 5 by 1-1 j in., parallel-sided or slightly obovate, closely 

 covered with short simple hairs above, concolorous beneath ; petiole -j^j-J in. 

 Peduncles ^— J in. ; cymes 1-2 in. diam. , stellately tomentose. Calyx not membranous, 

 nor glabrate in fruit. Corolla pink. Fruit \-^ in. diam., fine purple. — Lindley's 

 figure represents correctly the Chinese form of this species having the leaves " crossing . 

 each other" subsessile, maturenearly glabrate above very thinly stellate-hairy beneatli. 

 The description of Schauer 1. c. is taken from the Indian form, C sessilifolia. Wall., 

 which, however, has the petioles longer than the Chinese.

A small tree; branchlets densely stellate-tomentose. Leaves Shy 2| in., or 2| 

 by 1 in., base rounded or cuneate thinly membranous, mature with scattered stellate 

 hairs on the midrib beneath, tertiary venation close prominent, glands minute 

 scattered ; petiole ^—^ in. Peduncles mostly very short ; cymes usually f ew-fld. ;
