oblong acuminate, very shortly narrowed at base, glabrous except 
the midrib puberulous beneath; nerves 4 to 5 pairs, faint; 1-75 
to 2-75 in. long, *35 to -75 in. wide; petioles •1 in. long, puberulous. 
Stipules campanulate with about 10 long bristles about -45 in. long.

A glabrous, slender branched herb about 2 ft. tall. Stems 
slender. Leaves linear-lanceolate acuminate to both ends with a 
long terminal point, rather thin nerves, 3 to 4 pairs ascending, 
2*5 to 5 in. long, -5 to -6 in. wide; petioles -i in. long. Stipules 
a campanulate cup with a few bristles. Cymes axillary, dichoto¬ 
mous, -4 in. long, puberulous. Flowers under -i in. long, white, 
shortly pedicelled. Calyx campanulate, lobes acute. Corolla 
tubular, lobes blunt. Fruit globular, -i in. through. Hab. On

The typical plant seems peculiar to Penang. The Indian ones referred 
to it by Hooker are different in having much broader ovate-lanceolate leaves 
and bigger panicles. The Perlis plant seems intermediate, the lower leaves 
are ovate-lanceolate 1 in. across. King’s Malacca localities are erroneous; 
there is no specimen from Griffith in Herb. Kew, and Maingay’s is obviously 
from Penang.

with a few bristles. Peduncles axillary and terminal -2 to -5 in.
