84 D. Prain — Some additional species of Convolvulaceae. [No. 2, 



Chittagong: common. Arracan; Prain! Pegu: Eurz ! Tenas- 

 SERIM, common. Andamans ; Coco Islands. Prain ! South Andaman ; 

 common. Nicobars ; Kurz ! 



This plant appears to take the place of E. 'panicidata throughout South-western 

 Inclo-China. This constitutes, by his si^ecimens, the major part of E. glaucescens 

 of Mr. Kurz, in the Forest Flora of British Burma. 



2. Erycibe expansa Wall, Erycibe coriacea Kurz, For. Flor. Brit. 

 Burma, ii, 213 in part not of Wall. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Malay Peninsula ; Kedab, Curtis, n. 

 2128! 



Flowers pinkish-white (Curtis). There is no example of Wall. Cat. u. 1337 

 (Erycihe coriacea Wall.) at Calcutta ; Mr. Kurz has identified with that species 

 both Wall. Cat. n. 1331 (the type of E. expansa) and Heifer 5879 (E. ferruginosa Griff, 

 K, D.), hence the discrepancy between his description of E. coriacea, and those of 

 Choisy, and of the F. B. I. 



3. Erycibe subspicata Wall. Ei-ycibe paniculata vak. subspicata, 

 Choisy^ Ann. Sc. Nat. 2, i, 222 and DC. Prodr. ix, 464. Erycibe pani- 

 culata Kurz, For. Flor. Brit. Burma, ii, 214, hardly of Bo.rb. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — 



BoOTAX ; alt. 2000 ft., King's collector ! Upper Assam ; Akha Hills, 

 King's collector! Golagbat district, Jenkins! Mann! Tenasserim : 

 Brandts ! Parish (Ur. Stapf in litt.). 



This is certainly, as Choisy and Kurz indicate, and as Mr. Clarke admits, very 

 near E. paniculata Roxb. The writer, however, agrees with Mr. Clarke in consi- 

 dering it quite distinct.* The flowers and fruits in this species are larger 

 than in E. jHiuiculata, the flowers being larger than even in E. peguensis. The 

 lobules arc more deeply arose than in E. paniculata ; much more so than in E. pegti.

41). Erycibe ANGULATA Pram; branclilets angular pubescent, leaves 

 obovate, base cviueate or rounded, apex shortly acuminate or rounded 

 sometimes deeply emargiuate, coriaceous, glabrous, lateral nerves visible 

 above, distinctly raised beneath, cymes in axillaiy and terminal racemes. 

 Erycibe paniculata Miq., Flor. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 248 ; not of Boxh. 



Malay Peninsula ; Perak, Larut, Kunstler n. 7379 ! Dijong, Scorte- 

 chini n, 1816 ! Distric. Sumatra ( Teysmann Hort. Bog. n. 3682 !) Java 

 {Kurz!) 



A robust acandent shrub {Scortechini) or strong creeper ("over 100 feet," Kunstler) 

 with stem 4r-6 in. diam., branches terete glabrous, ultimate branchlets angular rusty- 



* Equally distinct appears to be a species collected in New Guinea by Hellwig 

 (n. 87 ex Mus. Bot. Berol.) and by Forbes (n. 439). This has flowers much as in 

 E. paniculata, but the racemes are shorter, the fruits smaller, and the leaves ovate- 

 acute with rounded bases and petioles j-i in. long, much smaller m-2^ in. by 

 ^-1 in.) and more thickly coriaceous. To this species the writer would give the 

 name Enjcile Hdlaiyii. This has been issued as E, paniculata from Berlin.
