segments. Stamens about as long as the petals, glabrous; anthers 
adnate, blunt, broad, the cells on the edges of the connective. Ovary 
ovoid, densely lanate-sericeous; style elongate, thin. Ripe drupe 
unknown. Wall. Cat. No. 7443.

This is the species referred to by Sir Joseph Hooker (PI. Br. Ind. 
I, 572), as probably an undescribed species of Chailletia. The species, 
when Sir Joseph wrote, was known only by Porter’s incomplete speci¬ 
mens. A few specimens of what is evidently the same plant were 
collected by the late Father Scortechini in Perak, and these have 
enabled me to describe the flowers. The fruit, however, still remains 
unknown. 
3. Chailletia Griffithii, Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind. I, 571. A slender 
climber; young branches striate, dark-coloured when dry, clothed with 
numerous long, spreading, stiff, fulvous hairs with minute soft, short, 
white pubescence between. Leaves membranous, oblong-lanceolate, 
acuminate, the base rounded or minutely cordate; upper surface glab¬ 
rous except the sparsely bristly midrib, the lower with numerous 
bristles on the midrib and a few scattered elsewhere chiefly on the 
nerves, the edges ciliate; main nerves 9 to 11 pairs, ascending, rather 
bold beneath; length 4 to 7 in., breadth 1 to 2 in., petiole T in., 
densely bristly. Cymes globular, axillary, sessile, densely bristly, '4 to 
’5 in. in diam. Flowers campanulate, nearly '25 in. across at the mouth. 
Sepals sub-erect, narrowly ovate, densely sericeous on the outer, and 
slightly pubescent on the inner surface. Petals glabrous, not longer 
than the sepals but broader, obovate, the apex shortly bifid, the lobes 
sub-acute, concave. Stamens as long as the petals, the anthers short, 
broadly ovate, the cells anterior. Ovary ovate, densely lanate-sericeous ; 
style shorter than the stamens ; stigmas 3, small, truncate. Pipe fruit 
(fide Hooker) 1‘5 in. long, 2-celled. C. lanuginosa , Maing. MSS.

Griffith describes this as “ a shrub.” It is actually a climbing 
shrub 15 to 20 feet long. The flowers are white. 
4. Chailletia Helferiana, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, XLI, 
(1872), Pt. 2, 297. Scandent; young branches adpressed-yellowish 
pubescent, terete. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic or oblong-elliptic, 
shortly and abruptly acuminate, the base cuneate, both surfaces reticu¬ 
late (the lower rather obscurely so) and glabrous, the midrib strigose 
beneath ; main nerves 7 or 8 pairs, spreading, faint; length 4 to 6 in., 
breadth 1'25 to 2 25 in. ; petiole *25 in., strigose. Cymes solitary, axil¬ 
lary, about '5 in. in diam. ; their pedicels about '3 in. long, strigose.
