pubescent. Leaves petiolecl 4-8 in. by 2-4 in., lateral veins 5-8 pairs, raised beneath 

 as in E. glomerata though not so prominently (and not as in that species impressed 

 above) secondary veins indistinct ; petioles ^ i^i-j rusty puberulous. Cymes with 

 angular rachis clothed with dark-red tomentum, axillary 1-6 in. by 1-H io-) termi- 

 nal 7-10 in. long, with at times floral leaves intermixed. Pedicels ^-^ in. Sepals 

 orbicular, outer stellately rusty tomentose, inner ciliate. Corolla white, lobes spread- 

 ing I in., interlobular portion hirsute externally, lobules glabrous, ovate-oblong, 

 margins slightly undulate. Berry not seen. 



This very distinct si^ecies is the Erycibe paniculata of Miquel's Supplement 

 from Sumatra, as the example of Teysmann's gathering from Danoh Tjaloh, Moerie, 

 preserved in the Calcutta Herbarium, shows. It also occurs in Java. 



6. Erycibe malaccensis Clarke. 

 Add to localities of F. B. I. :— 



Malay Peninsula : Perak, Scortechini 2196 ! Ktmstler 3180 ! 3575 ! 

 Peuang, Maingay 1154 ! 



Berry purple when mature. Corolla tube very much shorter than in E. panicu- 

 lata, 



7. Erycibe Princei Wall. 

 Add to localities of F. B. I. : — 



Singapore, Kii^rz ! EuUett ! Add to distribution ; Sumatra (Forbes 

 n. 1826 !). 



The plant that is known in the Buitenzorg garden as Erycibe tonietitosa Bl. is 

 tills species. The Hort. Bogor. identification is most probably accurate, in which 

 case Blume's name {Bijdr. 1048) will replace Wallich's more recent one. 



8. Erycibe Griffithii Clarke. . 

 Add to localities of F. B. I. : — 



Penang: Gaudichaiul 120; Gii,rtis 181 ! Kunstler, 1458! 



Corolla waxy cream-yellow, lobes very narrow, spreading ^in., interlobular portion 

 densely red-pubescent externally, lobules small, glabrous, narrowly oblong, obliquely 

 cut, acute, divergent. 



11. Erycibe glomerata Wall. 



A small tree, 10-20 feet high, with strong straggling shoots ; flowers creamy 

 yellow, "with strong odour of unripe turnips" {Proudlock.) Corolla lobes broad, 

 spreading fin. ; interlobular portion rusty-pubescent externally, lobules ovate, 

 margins erose throughout. 



The corolla is much like that of E. coriacea var. fragrans, but the lobules are 

 bi'oader and are erose instead of merely undulate. 



It is still doubtf al if this be the same as Blume's E. glomerata. Miquel says 

 it is not; but there is no examijle of Miquel's plant (Zollinger n. 706) at Calcutta, 

 nor is there any Java specimen here that will suit Miquel's description, or that will 

 match with Wallich's plant. Blume's descrii^tion is quite inadequate. 



12. Erycibe aenea Pratw ; branchlets round, densely rusty-tomen- 

 tose, leaves quite glabrous, narrowly oblong or elliptic to an obtuse apex, 

 base cuneate, very coriaceous, nerves impressed on both surfaces, cymes 

 j-ljin., minutely closely rusty-tomentose.
