PREFACE.

.

Since the publication of Linneus’s ‘ Flora Zeylanica’ and Bur-
mann’s ‘Thesaurus Zeylanicus,’ no work has .appeared, with the
exception of Moon’s ‘ Catalogue,’ professing to give a list of the
plants indigenous to Ceylon.

Several species of Ceylon plants have been figured and described
by Sir William Hooker in his ‘Icones Plantarum’ and other va-—
luable publications, from specimens collected by the late Colonel
and Mrs. Walker; and a good many Ceylon plants have been

figured by Dr. Wight in his excellent ‘Icones Plantarum Indie __

- Orientalis.” Dr, Walker-Arnott has published ee of |
several kinds in his ‘ Pugillus’ and elsewhere.

- Most of the Orchidacee of Ceylon have been described ty ne
Dr. Lindley from specimens and —— sent to him by ae

Macrae.

My predecessor, Dr. Gardner, contributed to the ‘ Oaleutta os

Socenal of Natural History’ pemetiies of several inte oon
Ceylon plants. oe

References throughout the present tote indicate where and by oe
— other species have been described. .

.

Owing to the physical conformation of the island, which went = :
gically belongs to the Metamorphic system, there is great diver- __

sity of climate.

_. The hills of the Central Province rise to an elevation of 830
feet, with an annual rainfall of about 100 inches.

The low country of the south of the island possesses a aL = :
climate, with 4 very equable temperature, and the rainfallis con-

*

siderable, but not equal to that on the hills.

vi PREFACE.

The low northern half of the island, shut off by the hills from
the rains of the south-west monsoon, has a rainy season of very
short duration, and is usually extremely dry during the remainder
of the year.

The character of the island vegetation varies, as might be ex-
pected, in accordance with this difference of climatal conditions ;
for, whilst on the hills the flora resembles very much that of the
Neilgherrries, in the humid south it is more akin to that of
Sumatra and the Malay Archipelago; and in the dry north of
the island it would seem to be nearly identical with that of the
Coromandel coast. ’

The indigenous species enumerated in the present work

amount to 2832, viz. :— :

Dicotyledones’ f°.) Sees ee
Monocotyledones... 2 a
Filices, Lycopodiacex, and Marsileacew . 225

Care has been taken not to multiply species unnecessarily, for
observation has shown that the amount of variation is often con-
siderable in plants affecting a large range of variation, and con-
sequently of climate. Instances occur, as in the genera Hortonia,
Mappia, Turpinia, Evonymus, Eleodendron, in which a more

elevated locality produces a form or variety possessing a stouter

habit and larger flowers than are observed in the same species
when growing only a little above the level of the sea, These
forms or varieties would probably be viewed by some botanists in
the light of distinct though closely allied species, and they occupy,

‘in fact, that debatable ground the difficulties and perplexities of
: which the practical naturalist alone knows, and which, in the
_ opinion of many (and I may include myself among the number),

are only to be got rid of by the adoption of the views enunciated
_ by Mr. Darwin as regards the relationship of allied forms or
species by descent from a common ancestor. ee:

___ From the large extent of forest-land which has been and is now

being appropriated to coffee cultivation, there is little doubt that
some of the indigenous plants will in time become exceedingly
rare, if not altogether extirpated, or exist only in the botanical
garden, into which as many kinds as possible are being introduced.
The obtrusive character, too, of a plant brought to the island,

about forty years ago, is also helping to alter the character of the
vegetation up to an elevation of 8000 feet. The plant alluded to
is the Lantana mizta, Linn., which appears to have found in
Ceylon a soil and climate exactly suited to its growth, for it now
covers thousands of acres with its dense masses of foliage, taking
complete possession of land where cultivation has been neglected
or abandoned, preventing the growth of any other plants, and even

_ destroying small trees, the tops of which its subscandent stems

are able to reach. The fruit of this plant is so acceptable to fru-
givorous birds of all kinds, that through their instrumentality it
is spreading rapidly, to the complete exclusion, in spots where it
becomes established, of the indigenous vegetation. ° :
Brucea Swmatrana, Crotalaria incana, Lagascea mollis, Cosmos
caudatus and Asclepias Curassavica, have become perfectly natural-
ized, and are common weeds in the warmer parts of the island.
In Newera Ellia, a few exotic plants, which were introduced
with grass seed, have become naturalized ; those I have observed
are Cerastium vulgatum, Hypericum humifusum, Trifoliam repens,
Verbascum Thapsus, Stachys arvensis, Plantago lanceolata, and
Dactylis glomerata.
It now remains to express my grateful acknowledgment for
assistance rendered to me during the progress of this work.

Dr. Wight, immediately on my arrival in the island, gave me = ; :
his most valuable help in naming the numerous specimensI found
in the herbarium, which had been collected by my predecessors, _

and principally by Dr. Gardner. ee
Sir William Hooker has most kindly assisted me with his pro- —

found knowledge of the subject in determining the names of the

Ferns. — pee ee
To Dr. Joseph D. Hooker I am most deeply indebted for the

invaluable aid he has been unintermittingly giving me during the
whole progress of this work, and without this aid I could not aes

with any satisfaction have undertaken it.

My cordial thanks are due to Dr. Thomas Anderson for having :

undertaken the identification and description of the Acanthacee,
an Order of plants to which he was at the time devoting parti-
cular attention, and was studying in the herbarium at Kew. __

To the Rey. 8. O. Glenie, F.L.8., Episcopal Colonial Chaplainat
Trincomalie, and to Mr. W. Ferguson, F.1.S., Civil Engineer, I am

vais PREFACE.

under great obligations for frequent valuable communications,
and for specimens of plants from their respective places of resi-
dence. It gives me great pleasure, too, to record the uniform
courtesy and kindness with which the gentlemen, holding the im-
portant and influential positions of Government Agents, have as-
sisted me in carrying out the objects I had in view, when making
botanical tours through their respective provinces or districts.

I would wish to associate with this little book the names of
Harmanis de Alwis Modliar, and of Don Seman De Silva Aratchy,
native officers, employed during many years in this establishment,
the former as Draftsman, and the latter as Principal Plant-col-
lector, to whose intelligent and hearty co-operation i is due much of
my success in ee new and rare saponins of plants from the
jungles.

Some apology may be considered necessary for the length of .
time that has elapsed since the present work was commenced, but
a large portion of that time has been occupied in researches con-
nected with it, and these researches have, it is hoped, tended to
make it more useful and more worthy of being laid before the
scientific world.

Note.—The generic characters of this and the foregoing genus have been princi-

or slight alterations only having been made as the examination of fresh and more
— specimens of the several species afforded the favourable opportunity of

Var. y. subglabra; foliis subtus subglabris.—c.P. 397, 2416.

Has. Vars. a and 8, in forests in the Ambagamowa District. Var. 8,
which has sharply-dentate leaves, and these more hirsute beneath and
with coarser reticulation, owes its peculiarity, I believe, to growing in
a more damp and shady locality. Var. y occurs in forests in the
Hunasgiria District.

latis ; ovudis biserialibus ; carpeliis indehiscentibus, 1-2-spermis ; seminidus arillatis,
in pulpa pellucida gelatinosa nidulantibus.

The carpels of this, the original species of the genus, being indehiscent, it would
seem doubtful whether some of the other species now included in the genus should
be retained in it, or Blume’s genus Capellia be restored for their reception.

- Has. In similar situations with the preceding species, but by no
means so abundant. Nom. vulg. “ Godapara,”

Arbor mediocris ; petalis albis; staminibus numerosis, 5—6-serialibus (externis
graduatim brevioribus), pallide sanguineis ; antherarum loculis lateralibus, albis ;
ovariis 5, 30-35-ovulatis ; sty/is filiformi-subulatis, recurvatis ; ovudis 4-serialibus ;

valde aucto carnoso arcte inclusis ; seminibus exarillatis, in pulpa pellucida gelati-
nosa nidulantibus.

There can be no doubt that this handsome species belongs to the Colbertia section
of Dillenia, though it seems to differ from the others in having white instead of
yellow petals. There is an indication of the stamens being collected into five groups
alternating with the carpels.

tT . D. integra, Thunb. (Wormia integra, H.f. et T., lc. p. 68, cum

I know nothing of this plant, and suspect there must be some error in a fourth
species of these large Dilleniaceous trees being attributed to Ceylon.

Tn Ceylon the most typical form of this plant is that called Jf. Wakeri by Dr.
Wight, having rakes ong aca more or hae! glaucous on the under surface, and
- Most commonly twelve petals. Between this and the oval-leaved form a gradual
transition may apparently be observed, and, although the latter has most commonly
nine petals, and these wider, yet, like the authors of the ‘Flora Indica,’ I have
been quite unable to discover any permanent characters on which two separate,
clearly-defined species can be founded. The form occurring on the Neilgherries, as
shown in a specimen sent tome by Dr. Hooker, differs from any I have seen growing
in Ceylon in its larger leaves and much larger petals.

MU. Champaca, L.., is very common in cultivated ground, but I have never seen it
undoubtedly wild in the forests.

This somewhat departs from the character of Orophea in the sepals and petals
being frequently (not always) imbricated, as in Sagerea, but it is too closely allied
to the previous species to be separated generically from it. It would seem to point
out, however, that Sagerea and Orophea should be arranged in juxtaposition.

The extreme forms of the above varieties look very distinct, but they pass into
each other by such insensible gradations, that it is quite impossible to separate them
by well-defined characters. The small exterior petals vary from being subequal to
nearly three times the length of the sepals; the carpels, too, are either subsessile or

on pedicels nearly two lines in length. The leaves are occasionally subrotund and
cordate at the base.

they pass insensibly into one another, and they both occur at considerable ele-

dered a permanent or sub-permanent one, as it is a much more delicate plant,
with far smaller flowers, and occurs at no great elevation above the level of the sea.

I have hitherto been disposed to consider vars. a and distinct species, but they
resemble each other so closely in most respects that it is perhaps hardly safe to sepa-
rate them on account of such trivial differences as the greater or less pubescence of
the foliage, or the bracteoles being mucronate or otherwise.

This is a very variable species, especially in the form and hairiness of the leaves,
and length of the racemes. The flowers, which are of a bluish or a purple colour,.- -
are very uniform in size and structure throughout the several varieties. The narrow
border of the capsule is pubescent with curved hairs, and with these are frequently

“There appears to have been some misconception with regard to the involucel and
calyx of this species. The true calyx is of a very tender membranaceous structure,
consisting of five sepals united at their edges into the form of a spathe, which falls
at the same time with the corolla.

This is evidently closely allied to, if it be not a variety of, Vatica Tumbugaia,

I have not seen the flowers, nor have I been able to ascertain the character
of the inflorescence of this fine species, but, judging from the structure of the
fruit, it must be very nearly allied to this genus. The large size and persistence of
the stipules form a very striking character.

When descrbidg this plant, two years ago, under the name of Urandra apicalis,
I had not the opportunity of referring to Blume’s Museum Bot. Ludg. Batav.,
-and took it for granted that Mr. Miers was correct in determining Dr. Wallich’s
genus Gomphandra to be identical with Stemonurus of Blume. Now, however,

I am satisfied that that learned botanist was in error, and that to Platea of
~ Blume is to be referred the genus Gomphandra. Blume’s definition of Stemonurus

as “drupa baccata, nucleo fibroso,” does not apply to Gomphandra, though it

does to the species figured in the Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat., and to the plant
now under description. By a strange oversight, Mr. Miers -has read my account of
the structure of the seed of Gomphandra polymorpha, Wight (Hooker's Journal of

Bot. vol. vii. p. 211), as if it were that of my Urandra apicalis, and has thus

been under the erroneous impression (Linnean Trans. vol. xxii. p. 97 ed seq.)

that the structure is the same in the two plants. It is very different, for in
- Stemonurus apicalis there is no appearance of the longitudinal division of the
albumen into two equal parts ; the testa is firmly adherent to the pericarp, and the
putamen is very peculiar in character, being ligneous, with several longitudinal
cavities filled with soft cellular matter, and externally, when the flesh of the

44, _ ENUMERATION OF _ [Olacacee.

drupe has decomposed os been removed, exhibiting a fasciculate-fibrous structure,
which in appearince is not very unlike an arillus, but of course essentially very
different from one. Mr. Miers is right-in saying that Urandra apicalis is a
Stemonurus, and J have now called it_so; but it is not so for the reasons he gives,
as has been shown above. :

After reading the description of Dr. Wallich’s plant in ‘Flora Indica,’ cited
above, it would seem almost*impossible to doubt that this is the species intended
by him, It is a very protean one as regards the shape and size of the leaves,
and has consequently been overwhelmed with synonyms. I have not the least
— — those quoted above, if not more, are referable to it in one or other
of its forms. :

_. Equally protean, or even more so than the last species, in the size and shape of
its leaves, which vary from harrow-lanceolate to orbicular, with a long, narrow acu-
mination. The hairs upon the filaments are very short, and may easily have been-
overlooked by Dr. Wight?s draughtsman; and the petals and stamens of the fertile
plant are so very caducous, that it is not surprising to find Blume describing the
flowers as having none. The peduncle is at first axillary, but a leaf being most
commonly produced upon it at about its middle, its upper part of course appears
opposite to this new leaf, and more strikingly so when a leaf-bud has become de-
veloped in the axil of the latter. te

This species differs most obviously from the last in its coriaceous, opaque leaves,
and longer, dichotomous peduncles, and in these latter appearing most commonly
opposite to a leaf. Gomphandra coriacea of Dr. Wight’s ‘ Illustrations’ is, no doubt,
the tetramerous form of this. :

This species has evidently a near affinity with Piptostylis Indica, Dalzell (Hook.

species, and the loculi of the ovary always two-ovuled ; but it differs from it in ifs.
very oblique leaves, smaller flowers, capitate stigma, and two-celled ovary. It may
be considered doubtful, perhaps, whether it is desirable to retain the genus Piptostylis
as distinct from Bergera. 1am able to confirm Mr. Dalzell’s observation that the
loculi of the ovarium of B. Kewigii are frequently two-ovuled.

This is a very variable plant in the size and shapé of its leaves, which are always
very oblique at the base. The small-leaved state bears very considerable resem-
blance to Bergera.Kenigii. There seems to me to be scarcely sufficient grounds
for excluding the present species from the genus Cookia. :

In all the specimens of this plant I have examined, the filaments were free
to their very base, even in the unexpanded flowers, and the species appears to be
somewhat dicecious, as in some plants the ovaries of all the flowers are entirely
without ovules. :

If Roxburgh did not make a mistake in his description of this plant, it will be’
necessary to call the Ceylon Lavunga in this ‘ Enumeration,’ LZ. eleutherandra,
Dalzell, or what is the Z. Tavoyana, Wall., referred to by Wight in the Illust. i.

This is, as truly observed by Dr. Wight, very closely allied to the next species ;
but, in addition to the difference in their shape, the under side of the leaves of the

* primary veins approach nearer to the margin than they do in S. obtusifolia. If

these are, as Dr. Wight suggests, to be considered only varieties of one species, 8.

The smaller and much acuminated leaves, and the more acute segments of the
calyx, seem alone to distinguish this from the preceding species.

The Cinghalese attach much value to this plant as an anthelmintic for children,
giving the juice expressed from the fresh leaves.

This plant is so closely allied to the preceding that I suspect there must be some
mistake in its having been described with dehis¢ent fruit and arillate seeds. The
apparent arillus in Roxburgh’s figure is, I believe, the hairy coating of the inside of
the pericarp. The fruit in my specimens is very immature. I find the fifth (small)

sometimes present, a8 figured by Roxburgh. _ :

differs from his in having most frequently two instead of one seed in each loculus of .
the seed-vessel ; the seeds of a different colour and shape, and with an aril very
minute, instead of reaching nearly to their apex: the position of the radicle would
also appear to be differeut. The peculiar twisted character of the stigma, so evident
in the Ceylon plant, would scarcely have been left unnoticed by Roxburgh and
Wallich had it been present in the species described by them, which on the other hand
is said to have a bifid style.

its longer, narrower leaves, and these with rather more numerous and less distinct
primary veins. The flowers are of a dull reddish-purple in both: the relative
‘size of the anterior lobe of the petals varies a good deal in different specimens.

I do not find the spur in this species thicker towards the middle, and the appear-
ance was probably caused in Dr. Arnott’s specimen by unequal pressure in drying, -
. This must be closely allied to, if not a variety of, Z. datifolta, Linn., judging from
the figure in Rheede, Hort, Mal. ix. 91. t, 48; and the last paragraph in the de-
scription of t. 52, page 101, in the same volume, would seem to imply that the
former has smooth capsules, though it is referred by Messrs. Wright and Arnott to
a species with them tomentose.

A most variable plant, as regards the shape and size of the leaflets, the extent of
aculeation, and the amount of the red pubescence with which the younger parts are
clothed. The large-based aculei are common to the stems of all the varieties, and
therefore furnish no character for their separation.

The most characteristic forms of the above varieties might, in a less variable
genus, pass very well for species; but, after an examination of numerous speci-
mens, I find it @uite impossible to draw up such distinctive definitions of them as
could with propriety be considered specific, and therefore think it safer to describe
them as forms of one variable species, which I believe them to be.

In my specimens of this plant the bracteole are entire and smaller than the
calyx-lobes, and not, as in Dr. Wight’s figure, larger and toothed. P. polyphylla,
Wall., would seem to differ principally in being quite glabrous and in the leaflets
being crenately and not acutely toothed. P. splendens, Don, Prod. Fl. Nep. p. 230,
is evidently closely allied to these.

A most variable species as regards the amount of pubescence and the size of the
leaves, and I am unable to divide it into even distinct varieties, so completely do the
several forms merge one into the other when a large series is examined. A speci-
‘men in the Herbarium, numbered c.p. 284, is, I suspect, a hybrid between the pre-
sent species and O. aspera, some of its flowers having eight and others ten stamens,
with anthers much longer than those of 0. Leschenaultiana. In habit and pubes-
cence it resembles the last-named species, but in the shape of the leaves and in
other respects it is just intermediate between the two.

If some of the species of this genus did not individually vary so much in the size
of the leaves and flowers, and in the clothing of the calyx, I should withont hesita-
tion have made a separate species of var. 8, but it bears so great a resemblance to
var. a in all other than the above respects, that I cannot venture to divide them.

only one corresponding with any form of the present: species, for the others are
mentioned as having succulent fruit, and the one described by Burman was pro-
bably a state of Melastoma Malabathricum.

The flat scales which clothe the calyx of var. 8 are shorter and less shining than
in var. a: both sometimes occur with pale purple flowers. ‘he fruit, when ripe,
bursts irregularly, and exposes a dark-coloured pulp, covered with the small seeds :

this pulp is eaten by children, and stains the inside of their mouths of a black

The several forms of this species merge so completely into one another, that I find
it quite impossible to separate them. The amount of pubescence and number of
spines seem quite dependent upon the character of the climate, luxuriance of the
plant, ete., specimens from the dry northern parts of the island being more strongly
marked in that respect than those from the moister southern districts.

Closely allied to the last, but well distinguished by the deep-red glandular farfu-
rescence of the young shoots, and of the pedicels and calyces, by the glandular petals

* The ovary in this genus appears to be normally two-celled, but these two cells
are converted into four by the introverted carpellary leaves being so produced laterally
as to reach the walls of the ovary. If this is the correct explanation of the ovarial
_ strueture, the genus would have to be placed in the previous division of the family,

each cell in that case being really two-ovuled.

Some fresh specimens of this plant, now before me, agree perfectly with Wight’s
figure of WM. racteata, whilst they so closely resemble too the figure in ‘ Hortus
Malabaricus,’ vol. i. t. 52, quoted for M. citrifolia, L., that I can scarcely believe
our plant to be other than a form of the latter. Some of the capitula are without
the bract-like appendage of the calyces, and the anthers are quite exserted in the
flowers now under examination.

The narrower, more acuminated, less pilose leaves and shorter flowers, principally
distinguish this from the last species. In Jf. strigosa too the calyx-tube is much

with them as a more rare variety,

genus, the albumen of their seeds being less evidently raminate than m the other
species of Grumilea herein described, and more or less suleate by the intrusion
folds of the testa. It would perhaps be most desirable to form of Grumilea a sec-
tion of Psychotria, seeing that it is quite impossible to determine, in the absence
tolerably mature fruit, to which of the two genera certain plants should be referred.

The forms of this plant, which have been raised by some authors to the rank of
species, merge so insensibly into one another, that I feel obliged to include them all
under one specific name. The amount of pubescence upon the several parts, as wi.
as the relative length of the calyx-lobes, are very variable, and 1 have found inthe
same raceme some pedicels with indications of the two minute bracteole, and others
without the slightest trace of those appendages, and which latter seem to have their
fullest development in plants of the most luxuriant growth. eo

So variable is this plant as regards the shape and size of the leaves and length of

_ the flower-pedicels, that some of its forms might well pass for distinct species, but

_ that intermediate ones occur rendering it impossible to separate them. Some of my

Specimens have leaves varying from 2 to 14 inch in length, whilst other specimens

have them reaching to 7 inches, with a corresponding width; the former occurring
upon the tops of the highest hills, and the latter in damp rich forests.

This agrees so well with Hamilton’s description of his plant, except that he men-
tions the corolla as being five-lobed, that I cannot doubt their identity, and it cer-
tainly must be the one represented in Dr. Wight’s figure, copied from Roxburgh’s
drawing, ‘The inflorescence, however, is by no means racemose, but distributed over
the lower leafless portion of the ramulus, and in the axils of a few of its lowest

_ leaves. The female flowers are solitary, and the males in three-flowered cymes. In
species of this genus, where the inflorescence is more apparently racemose, as in
D. Embryopteris, it is not truly so, for the terminal flower being the first to expand,
the inflorescence is really a-modified cyme.

This species produces the most valuable of the timber known as Calamander-
wood, so much esteemed for ornamental cabinet-work. I regret that my specimens
are too imperfect to allow of my giving so full a description as would be desirable of
this interesting plant, which is nearly allied to D. erumenata, but its larger leaves
and fruit, and its pentamerous flowers, well distinguish it. /

A very variable plant, and perhaps var. 8, in which the leaves frequently reach to
seven inches in length and three inches in width, is to be considered the most typical
form of the species. In var. a the racemes sometimes become branchlike, the bracts

ing converted into leaves, and thus it approaches var. y, in which the leaves of a
branch often bear each a single stalked flower in its axil. The leaves in var. y show

Closely allied to and resembling the preceding species, and I have sometimes felt
disposed to regard them as varieties, but the different character of the pubescence,
and the more acuminated leaves of the present plant, are perhaps sufficient to warrant
their being kept distinct.

The present plant corresponds in so many respects with the figure and description
of C. fasciculata, that there can scarcely be a doubt of its being a variety of ap
species. It has, however, essentially the characters of the genus sik eis adie Se
Blume, and I suspect that the fruit of Crawfurdia must have been inaccurately de-

: Between the forms a and B of the present plant I can find no difference, except
in the relative length of the stamens and style; and, as there are instances of an —
exactly corresponding kind amongst the Rudiacee and Erythroxylea, and 1 believe

also in the Oxalidacee, this difference is scarcely sufficient to found a specific cha-
racter upon. The seeds in both forms are delicately muricated, or frequently nearly — a
smooth. As regards the figure in Rumph. Amb. lib. xi. t. 72. f. 8, quoted by -

Linneus, it would seem to me that, taken in connection with the description in
page 173 of the same volume, there can be but little doubt of its being intended for
the plant now under consideration, although Grisebach refers it to a species closely
allied to, if it indeed be more than a state of L. cristatum.

This is probably Z. Forbesianum, Griseb., in part; but it does not quite agree
with the characters given of the flower of that species; nor does the author notice
the very different habit the present plant exhibits to that of the other species of the
section, the stem simply elongating, at each innovation, by the production of a single
shoot at its apex, instead of producing, as in the other species (in addition to the
fascicle of flower-pedicels), a sessile offset developing its own roots, and a succession

of petioled, floriferous leaves, (perhaps more correctly termed petiole-like stems,)
each terminated by a single leaf.

This is, I suspect, a form only of the following species, the only real difference
appearing to be in the size and colour of the flowers ; for the character derived from
the position of the sterile loculus of the anthers is a fallacious one, this being, in all
the species of the genus I have examined in a fresh state, porrected and nearly hori-
zontal.

Kew, by Dr. Thomas Anderson, F.L.S., of the Bengal Medical Service, who is pre-
paring a new classification of the Order for the Linnean Society of London, Mr.
Thwaites has, at my suggestion, gladly availed himself of the opportunity of placing

enumeration of the Ceylon species (which was arranged according to Nees’s me-
thod) in Dr. Anderson’s hands. The latter gentleman has kindly devoted some weeks
to the study of every species and its synonyms, and has classified the whole in accord-
ance with his forthcoming ‘Systema Novum Acanthacearum.’ I have added the
initials G. Thw. and T. A. to various paragraphs where doubts may arise as to the
exact authority for the observations they contain.” —J. D. H.]

Repeated examinations of an-extensive set of specimens in the Hookerian Herba-
rium have convinced me that B. cristata, dichotoma, ciliata, and Nepalensis, are
forms of one variable species. The differences supposed to exist, in the leaves being
stalked in B. dichotoma and sessile in B. cristata, are not at all constant. The in-
florescence varies equally as much, the flowers being solitary in the axils of the leaves,
or in short spikes of 4 or 5. The colour of the corolla varies from all shades of
white to dark lilac or purple. Roxburgh describes and figures the corolla of his B.
dichotoma as white.—T. A.

The extensive distribution of this species over tropical Asia and Africa renders =
specific name adopted by Nees von Esenbeck quite inappropriate; and the same a
jection may be made to the original one given by Linnzus, and which, as being the
oldest, I have revived. For so cosmopolitan a plant the specific term communis or
vulgaris would perhaps be more suitable. The notes by Mr. Bentham to the pet
stasi@ of the ‘ Flora Nigretiana’ show that I have the best authority for the greater
part of the identifications I have made of this variable species.—Z. A.

that when growing they look very different; but I have been unable to ar any
sufficient characters amongst the large series of specimens contained in the Hookerian

After examining a large series of specimens, I have found it quite impossible to
arrive at any other conclusion but that the several plants I have enumerated are mere
forms of one very variable species. ‘The shape of the leaves and amount of pubes-
cence are most inconstant characters ; the seed varies in being more or less minutely
punctate; and the whole plant is thin and flaccid, or of tolerably firm consistence.

Without the opportunity, which I have had, of seeing numerous examples of this
very variable tree, I should scarcely have ventured to unite the retiavweres ae
varieties under one specific name, so unlike one another are the extreme forms of de,
but in a large series of specimens it is frequently difficult, or even impossible, to

termine to which variety to refer some of them, so intermediate are they in character. —

The best cinnamon of commerce is the produce of what I consider a cultivated or —
selected form of var. a, and the trees of this form have usually large leaves of sg

what irregular shape; but the bark of all the forms of this species possesses the
odour of cinnamon in a greater or less degree, and it is not always possible to judge
of the quality of the bark from the foliage, for I have observed the cinnamon-peelers,
when collecting bark from uncultivated trees, taste a small portion before commencing
their operations, and pass over some trees as unfit for their purpose. The bark of
varr. 8 and + is of very inferior quality, and I have been informed is never collected,
except for the purpose of adulteration.

A fragrant oil, sold under the name of “ Clove Oil,” is obtained by distillation
from the leaves of the cultivated Cinnamon-tree, and the roots yield, under a similar
process, a certain quantity of camphor. The ripe seeds contain some amount of
stearine, but I cannot learn that it is now extracted for any purposes.

This would seem to bear«very considerable resemblance to Lepidadenia Wightiana,

- ab E., but the more numerously veined and oblique leaves of the latter, together
with its hermaphrodite flowers and more numerous stamens, would appear sufficiently
to distinguish it. In some of the male flowers, however, of the present plant there
are, in addition to the nine fertile stamens, two or three central biglandular abortive
ones, and thus is exhibited a character intermediate between that of Tetranthera and
that of Lepidadenia, and justifying the suppression of the latter genus.

learn that the Cinghalese eat it; the plant, however, being scarce and occurring in
little-frequented localities, is probably known to but few of the natives.

The present plant bears considerable resemblance to Roxburgh’s Croton drupa-
ceum ; but, besides other differences, the fruit of the latter is much larger and more
__ hairy, and the lateral nerves of its leaves form a much more acute angle with the
costa.

I think this must be Dr. Wight’s plant, as it agrees very well with his figure and
short description. It is very closely allied to the two preceding species, from which
it is best distinguished by its smaller, and at length glabrous, leaves and capsule ;
and by the latter being distinctly trilobed instead of subsphecrical.

Though it is difficult to point out any very decided character to separate this spe-
cies generically from Croton, still the eglandulose leaves, the umbellate inflorescence,
the anthers erect in eestivation, and other minor characters about the inflorescence of

_ the present plant, are probably sufficient to justify its being constituted a distinct

This in general appearance closely resembles S. Gardneriana, but the flowers are
more like those of Ceratogynum rhamnoides, Wight, Ic. t. 1900, from which latter
species, however, it would seem to be sufficiently distinguished by its much larger

The ovary of this species bears a very considerable resemblance to that of Agyneia

deseription, to be nearly allied to this ; but the long-pedicelled male flowers of that
plant are sufficient to prove it distinct. '

“A careful comparison of growing specimens satisfies me that the plants producing
respectively the round and the long cardamoms of commerce are not distinct species,
but merely varieties of the present species. In every essential particular the struc-
ture is similar in the two plants, the only difference being that var. a, which pro-
duces the round cardamom, is a little taller, with rather narrower and less firm
leaves, and that its fruit is more aromatic as well as different in form from that of
var. B. ‘The seeds of both varieties are used by the Cinghalese to chew with their
betel, and as medicines.

positi. Drupa obovata (includ. rostro obtuso 2 lin. longo), pollicaris, squamis majus-
culis, in 5 vel 6 spiris, ochraceis, margine fuscis.

Closely allied to C. erectus, Roxb. (C. schizospathus, Griff. 1. e. p. 41), of which I
have specimens from Dr. Hooker, but besides the differences pointed out by Griffith
in the work quoted, the rostrum of the fruit in the present species is longer and its
scales larger and fewer than in (, erectus.

Hasskarl, in describing this genus as monandrous, must, I suspect, have taken the
long clavate style of the male flower for an anther. The true anthers, 3 in number,
which lie concealed, one within the fold of each of the exterior glumes of the flower, |

Has. Caltura District.

Pistillum 18-24 paleis (6-8 exterioribus monandris, reliquis vacuis) lanceolatis
acutis cinctum.

This genus is evidently closely allied to Pandanophyllum, the pistil in each being
surrounded by a certain number of empty pales, and, outside these, by one or more
series of monandrous palew. In Pandanophyllum the flower (or spikelet ?) is uni-
sexual, either the pistil or the stamens being sterile or rudimentary, whilst in the
present genus the flower (or spikelet ?) is hermaphrodite.
