Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
upwards to meet in a nerve more or less parallel to the margin ; secondary 
nerves similar, reticulations many ; petiole -1 to -2 in long, rusty- villous. 
Inflorescence of terminal panicles of pedunculate racemes 6 to 12 in. 
long, the branches often leafy, rachis and peduncles all rusty-villous ; 
peduncles -5 to '7 in. long, pedicels slender, about -05 in. long ; bracts 
few, leaf-like ; bracteoles rather longer than the pedicels, lanceolate to 
spathulate ; flowers small, buds globose, petals white, striate, tube red. 
Calyx-lobes 5-6, ovate, acute, ciliate on the edges, villous, dotted with 
few glands ; tube as long as lobes, both together "05 in. long, longer in 
fruit. Corolla gamopetalous from one-third to one-half of its length ; 
lobes oblong, obtuse, recurved, -1 in. long, sparsely gland-dotted. Stamens 
as long as or a little shorter than the corolla-lobes, inserted about half- 
way up, anthers oblong, dehiscing longitudinally, the back with black 
conspicuous glandular warts; filaments adnate to the corolla below 
point of insertion, slender, dorsifixed. Ovary rounded, glabrous, style 
cylindric, stigma peltate in $ , slightly lobed in $ . Berry globose, 
•1 to - 15 in. in diam., black when dry, crowned with the persistent 
style, rugosely glandular. Clarke in Hook. f. FI. Br. Ind. III. 514.

Haviland and Hose’s Borneo specimens have rather larger flowers than, and 
pedicels about twice as long as, those from the Peninsula (No. 2280).

(1882). A slender climbing shrub ; branches pale brown, velvety; branch- 
lets cinnamomeous or rusty-villous. Leaves chartaceous; oblong or 
obovate-oblong, obtuse and sometimes emarginate at apex, rounded at 
base ; upper surface sparsely pilose, under surface pubescent, pale bluish- 
green, glandular dots many prominent ; 2 to 3 in. long, -75 to -1 in. broad; 
midrib impressed above, prominent below, villous on both sides; main- 
nerves few, 6 to 10 pairs, irregular, at about two-thirds of a right angle 
with the midrib, arching upwards, branching and joining in a nerve near 
the margin ; secondary nerves similar but more slender, reticulations not 
prominent; petiole - 15 in. long, villous, winged by the decurrent base of 
the blade. Inflorescence of terminal panicles of pedunculate racemes, 
the branches leafy, the leaves passing gradually into oblong or spathu- 
late conspicuous bracts ; peduncles 1 to 1-5 in. long, enlarged at base ; 
pedicels - 1 in. long, supported by linear subulate bracteoles twice their
