King calls this I. diversifolia. I take it to be I. undulata Roxb. or near. 
Excluded Species 
I. fulgens Roxb. Hort. Beng. 10. A native of the Moluccas. The 
plants referred to this species by King comprise one of un¬ 
known locality collected by Lobb, Wallich’s No. 6152, which is 
I. Lobbii, and some Perak plants of which I have seen but one, 
and which does not fit with Roxburgh’s description and is 
quite different from the Tenasserim plant called fulgens by 
Hooker, which has at least the acute petals described by 
Roxburgh, but it is very improbable that any of these species 
are the Moluccan plant. 
In gardens we have a number of cultivated Ixoras, including : 
I. coccinea Linn. Bush with leaves sub-sessile. Cymes sessile, 
dense. Flowers orange red. 
I. bandhuca Roxb. Leaves quite sessile, small and round tipped. 
Flowers sessile, dark red, Indian. 
I. macrothyrsa Teysm., with very large heads of red flowers and 
large leaves, and a variety of cultivated forms of siricta and 
hybrids of all colours.

Shrubs or shrublets resembling Ixora but often hairy. Flowers 
always white. Leaves thin membranous. Style very slender and

entire. Species 70, Asia and Africa. The common name Jarum- 
Jarum or Jejarum (needles) refers to the conspicuous needle-like 
styles.
