315. A glabrous shrub 2 to 4 feet high ; young branches thinner than 
a goose-quill, dark-coloured when dry. Leaves thickly membranous, 
oblong-oblaneeolate or oblanceolate, shortly caudate-acuminate at the 
apex, much attenuate at the base, the edges sometimes broadly cren ate; 
both surfaces olivaceous when dry, the midrib and nerves broad, distinct 
and pale ; main-nerves 10 to 12 pairs, slightly curved, spreading and 
interarching to form a bold pale intramarginal nerve '1 to -15 in. from 
the edge ; length 5 to 8 in. ; breadth 1-65 to 2-5 in. ; petiole ’75 to 
1-25 in., slightly winged near the apex. Stipules broadly triangular, 
acuminate, membranous, sometimes bifid, -2 in. long. Cymes terminal 
or axillary, sessile or shortly pedunculate, shorter than the petioles, 
about P25 in. across and '5 in. long, branched from near the base, 
the branches compressed, trichotomous ; the braeteoles lanceolate, 
acuminate. Floivers '2 in. long, on short pedicels. Calyx with a 
short cylindric tube and 4 longer oblong blunt sub-erect concave lobes. 
Corolla exceeding the calyx, narrowly campanulate, bluntly 4-lobed, 
the throat densely sericeous, otherwise glabrous. Fruit sub-globose or 
ovoid, sub-compressed; the epicarp fleshy, glabrous, rugulose when 
dry ; -3 in. in breadth and rather less in length, the persistent calyx- 
lobes small. Seeds large, the dorsal surface faintly 1-ridged, the ventral 
deeply grooved. Kurz Por. FI. Burm. II. 9; Hook. fil. PI. Br. Ind.

This plant is very common in the lower Himalaya, Assam, and Burma. In the 
Flora of British India it is described as herbaceous, but the Malayan specimens are all 
woody. The leaves are always readily distinguished, when dry, by the pale broad main- 
nerves and by the very conspicuous intra-marginal nerve. In Malaya the plant is 
glabrous, but in the Indian specimens the under surfaces of the leaves are deciduously 
puberulous.
