3-28-29 Ligustrum coriaceum, Cav. p. 290 x BM J.C.P. 594. Fl. Srixthlands. Shrub. Twig collected. Barks silvery brown with conspicuous white, wart-like lenticels which are split down the middle (20x). Lvs. opp., oval, 1/2 x 1 in., very thick, entire rounded at apex v base, punctate with depressed dots above more thickly so beneath. Petioles 3/6 in. Lf. yellowgreen above, light below, edges revolute. Veins depressed on-, lateral veins being few far apart and at wide angle with mid-rib. No lateral visible or only scarcely so beneath. Fluindersar panicule 1/2 in long. Radius fimbrial, else pubescent & * angled, or perhaps merely about pedicels x Fls sessile in groups of 1-4 each group subtended by a white, brownish pinkish tipped, ciliate bract 2 mm long, leaves lanceolate but very concave v not sharp pointed. Each fl. bracted by 1 (or perhaps more) minute bract. All these bracts fugaceous. Calyx x* 2mm long, very shallowly v offuscely 4-tothed. Corolla tube 5 mm to lobes 4+ mm. The twig collected has its infls not determined (the tips seen withered) but in axil of 1st. lf below tip. Another twig collected had 1 fls. determined, ovaryfic 7mm high x 5 mm diam, 2-celled, with 2 seeds in each cell. Fls apiculate at apex, with persistent calyx at base & * below the flattened lobes of which is a stout stalk 1/10mm which is either calyx tube or pedicel could this be L. japonicum, though ? Corolla lobes distinctly valvate (see B.M J.C.P. 592 which says Ligustrum they are imbricate) the reflexed lobe open fl still showing the concave tips. Corolla thick tho outside of its lobes punctate.
