NEW AND RARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 83 



species, one the comparatively thin leaved plant with rose-pink 

 flowers, the J. coriacea of Brown in Wallich's Herbarium No, 

 6151 the other a thick leaved plant with dense corymbs of 

 white flowers collected by Griffith in Malacca. xAll the species 

 want describing. 



Ixora coriacea, Br. in Wall. Cat. 6151. 



Apparently a tree. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic acuminate 

 acute base shortly narrowed and blunt, nerves about 12 pairs 

 sunk above, elevate beneath, 10 in. long, 3.5 in. wide; petiole 

 thick .5 in. long. Stipules broad, coriaceous, ovate truncate 

 rounded, mucronate. Cyme panicles 3 terminal, peduncles 2.5 

 -3 in. long, panicle 4 in. across, 3 in. long, branches puberulous. 

 Calyx tubular, urn-shaped .05 in. with very short teeth. Co- 

 rolla rose-pink, tube slender, .4 in. long, lobes oblong deflexed. 

 Style fairly long, slightly clubbed. Fruit bilobed 2-seeded 

 .25 in. through. 



Pexaxg (and Sixgapoee) Wallich 6151; -Phillips and I 

 believe that I. elliptica, Br. Pexaxg, Wallich 6153 is the same 

 species. 



Ixora crassifolia, n. sp. 



Tree. Leaves very thick coriaceous and smooth, shining, 

 elliptic lanceolate, blunt base, narrowed, nerves about 10 pairs, 

 often deep-sunk above, elevate beneath, midrib stout, 8-9 in.

 triangular mucronate, Inflorescence of several stout branches, 

 thickly short, hairy with dense umbellate cymes of white flowers 

 crowded together 3 inches long, 4 in. wide primary peduncles 

 very short. Calyx subcampanulate with small rounded lobes. 

 Corolla .4 in. long, tube slender, lobes narrow nearly as long, 

 white, base red. 



Malacca, Aver Panas heavy jungle (Griffith). 



All the specimens are in bud or fruit.

Leaves elliptic^ lanceolate, acuminate, acute, base narrow- 

 ed, thin coriaceous, nerves fine about 18 pairs, secondaries

 petiole .25 in. long. Corymb spreading, 5 branches, 2 lower 

 ones with peduncle 2 in. long, spreading horizontally, the up- 

 per 3.1 in. from them, forming an umbel with small lanceolate 

 bracts at base, peduncles one inch, all the cymes of several 

 branches about one inch long, many-flowered, branchlets very 

 short. Flowers sessile. Calyx suburceolate with very small
