18. IXORA Linn. 
1. I. cocci nea Linn.; Hook. f. FI. Brit. liid. 3 (1880) 145. 
(1270 Whitford) May; (6118 Leiberg) July; (1403 Ahern’s collector) July; 
(2299 Meger) December. In thickets near the seashore. British India and 
Malaya. 
2. I. cumingiana Vidal, Phan. Cuming. Philip. (1885) 183, e.x descr. 
(1473, 1487, 1490 Ahern’s collector) July, August; (1772, 1938 Borden) 
August, October; (2242, 3015 Aleyer) May; (3174, 3202 Alerrill) Octol)er; (0058, 
0808 Elmer) November; (297 Copeland) January; (31, 54 Whitford) April; 
(6104 Leiberg) July. Abundant in thickets and forests 50 to 250 m. Endemic. 
The above specimens were all identified bj^ Mr. Elmer as Ixora barbata Eo.xb., 
but differ from that species in the glabrous, not barbate corolla throats. The 
vegetative charj^ters are very similar in both species. 
3. I. macrophylla Barth in DC. Prodr. 4 (1830) 487, ex descr. 
(613, 1759 Borden) April, August; (2011 Alcijer) February; (6094 Leiberg) 
July; (462 Topping) May; (1437 Ahern’s collector) August; (6728 Elmer) 
November; (2503, 3145 Alerrill) .Tune, October. Abundant in thickets and 
forests, ascending to 500 m. Endemic. 
The above specimens were identified by Mr? Elmer as Ixora cumingiana Viilal, 
but agree more closely with the description of L macrophylla Barth 
19. WEBERA Schreb. 
1. W. luzoniensis Vidal, Phan. Cuming. Philip. (1885) 179.

forests along streams below 150 m., abundant. Endemic. 
2. Webera meyeri (Elmer). 
A lax shrub about 5 m. high. Branches densely hirsute pubescent. Leaves 
opposite, membranous, broadly oblong-lanceolate or oblanceolate, 10 to 20 cm. 
long, 4 to 6 cm. wide, shining above, hirsute pubescent on both surfaces with 
scattered hairs, the pubescence becoming dense on the midrib and lateral nerves 
beneath, the apex sharply acuminate, narrowed below to the acute base; nerves 
about 10 on each side of the midrib, ascending, somewhat prominent beneath, 
loosely anastomosing, the reticulations lax; petioles 1.5 to 2 cm. long, densely 
hirsute; bracts 1 to 1.4 cm. long, hirsute, the base broad, slenderly long caudate 
acuminate. Inflorescence terminal, corymbose, 2 to 3 cm. long, densely hirsute 
[)ubesceut throughout, the peduncle very short, the primary brtmehes about 
1.5 cm. long, the bracts linear, about 8 mm. long. Flowers white, about 8 mm. 
long, subsessile, clustered at the ends of the branches. Caly.x densely hirsute 
pubescent, 4 mm. long, 5-toothed, the teeth narrow, about as long as the tube, 
subtended liy 2 linear, hirsute hracteoles nearly as long as the calyx. Corolla
