1. Psychotria laxiflora, Blume Bijdr. 964. Scandent or epiphy- 
tic, glabrous except the inflorescence ; young branches slightly thicker 
than a crow-quill, terete, dark-coloured, brown, shining. Leaves 
membranous, narrowly elliptic- or oblong-lanceolate, much acuminate, 
the base cuneate ; both surfaces olivaceous-brown when dry, the lower 
the paler, midrib distinct ; main-nerves 4 to 6 pairs, faint, curved, 
ascending; length 2 to 4 in.; breadth ■ 5 to 1 in.; petiole -15 to - 2 in. 
long. Stipules forming a tube from -15 to -3 in. long, sharply toothed. 
Panicles solitary, terminal, lax, more than half as long as the leaves, 
on naked peduncles about 1 in. long ; branches cymose, with small 
acute bracteoles at their bases, puberulous. Flowers -15 to '2 in. long, 
puberulous, -in cymules of three at the ends of the branchlets; their 
pedicels short, with broad acute caducous bracteoles at their bases. 
Calyx shortly funnel-shaped, the mouth sub-truncate or obscurely 
4 toothed. Corolla longer than the calyx, broadly clavate in bud, 
funnel-shaped ; the mouth with 4 broad obtuse lobes, throat sericeous. 
Anthers 4, elliptic, blunt, sub-sessile. Fruit clavate-ellipsoid, with 8

woody climber, 15 to 20 feet long, glabrous except the puberulous 
inflorescence ; young branches thinner than a goose-quill, dark brown 
when dry, terete, somewhat thickened at the nodes, the internodes 
minutely lenticellate and faintly striate. Leaves coriaceous, ovate to 
elliptic, sometimes oblong-lanceolate, shortly and rather bluntly acumi- 
nate, the base slightly cuneate or rarely rounded ; upper surface oliva- 
ceous-greenish when dry, the lower purplish-brown ; the midrib 
channelled on the upper surface, prominent on the lower ; main-nerves 
6 to 8 pairs, rather straight, spreading, thin but rather distinct on both 
surfaces when dry ; length 3 to 4-5 in. ; breadth 1-75 to 2-5 in. ; petiole
