PREFACE.
SiKCB the publication of LinnsBua's ' Flora Zeylanica ' and Bur-
mann's * ThesanruB 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 Indise
Orientalis.' Dr. Walker-Amott has published descriptions of
several kinds in his ' Pugillus ' and elsewhere.
Most of the Orchidaeea of Ceylon have been described by
Dr. Lindley from specimens and drawings sent to him by Mr.
Macrae.
My predecessor, Dr. Gardner, contributed to the 'Calcutta
Journal of Natural History' descriptions of several interesting
Ceylon plants.
Eeferences throughout the present work indicate where and by
whom other species have been described.
Owing to the physical conformation of the island, which geolo-
gically belongs to the Metamorphic system, there is great diver-
sity of climate.
The hills of the Central Province rise to an elevation of 8300
feet, with an annual rainfall of about 100 inches.
The low country of the south of the island possesses a humid
climate, with a very equable temperature, and the rainfall is 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 1959
Monocotyledones 648
Pilices, Lycopodiacese, and MarsileacesB . 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^ Maodendron, 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.
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 3000 feet. The plant alluded to
is the Lantana mista, 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 Sumatranay Orofalaria incana, Lagaacea mollis, Cosmos
eatulatus 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 htimifusum, Trifolium repens,
Verhascum Thapsus, Stachys arvensis, Flcmtago lanceolaia, and
Lactylis 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
bis most valuable help in naming the numerous specimens I found
in the herbarium, which had been collected by my predecessors,
and principally by Dr. Gardner.
Sir "William Hooker has most kindly assisted me with his pro-
found knowledge of the subject in determining the names of the
Ferns.
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
with any satisfaction have undertaken it.
My cordial thanks are due to Dr. Thomas Anderson for having
undertaken the identification and description of the Acanfhacea,
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 Eev. S. O. Glenie, F.L.S., Episcopal Colonial Chaplain at
Trincomalie, and to Mr. W. Ferguson, F.L.S., Civil Engineer, I am

imder great obligations for frequent valuable communications,
and for specimens of plants from their respectiye 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 Q-ovemment 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 Soman De Silva Aratchy,
native of&cers, 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 is due much of
my success in procuring new and rare species 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-
pally copied from the ' Flora Indica' of Drs. Hooker and Thomson, sncli additions
or slight alterations only having been made as the examination of fresh and more
abundant specimens of the several species afforded the favourable opportunity of
doing.

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.

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.

In Ceylon the most typical form of this plant is that called M. Walkeri by Dr.
Wight, having lanceolate leaves more or less 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,
dearly-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.
M. Champacay 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 Sageraa, but it is too closely allied
to the previous species to be separated generically from it. It would seem to point
out, however, thiU; Sageraa 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.

I have hitherto been disposed to cousider rars. a and $ distinct species, bnt they
resemble each other so closdy in most respects that it is perhaps hardly safe to sepa-
rate them on account of sach trivial differences as the greater or less pubescence of
the fohage, or the bracteoles being mucronate or otherwise.

This is a very variable species, especially in the form and hairiness of the leares,
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. Jhe narrow
border of the capsule is pubescent with curved hairs, and with these are frequently
intermixed ^raight, longer hairs. Var. jS occurs on banks at Newera EUia, and is only
a stunted form of the plant.

There appears to have been some miscoDception with regard to the iuvolncel and
calyi of this species. The true calyx is of a very tencler membranaceons structure,
consisting of five sepals united at their edges into the form of a spathe, which falls
at the same time with the coroUa.

This .species I hare only seen in fruit, and am. therefore not quite certain that it
is a true Kydia. The axillary inflorescence and the character of the foliage gire it
a very different aspect from that of K. calycina. The latter species has not, so far as
I am aware, been detected vrild in Ceylon, though it most probably occurs so in the
north of the island.

Blame, in his Mus. Bot. Lngd. Bat. ii. 29, makes two species of the Linnsan
Valeria Indica, reserving this name for the Ceylon plant, and calling the Peninsolar
one F. Malabarica. I have no means of determining whether this view is correct,
but in order to assist in clearing the matter of donbt, I have given above a pretty full
description of the Ceylon plant.
The figure of this species in Dr. Wight's lUust. tab. 36 is not saiisfifictory.
Gscrtner's figure of the fruit is very characteristic, though it is rather smaller than
ordinary specimens. ^

I have little doubt of thid being Dr. Wight's plant, though there is a slight dis-
crepancy between my specimens and the figure in the ' Icones ;' but this is moat
likely due to a little want of accuracy on the part of the draftsman.

It is only after a very careful and long-continued study of these plants that I
have ventured to unite them as forms of one variable species. I have been quite
unable to discover, in those parts where other botanists have thought they existed,
any definite difi^nce of structure sufficient to constitute a distinction of species.
The number of the 'stamens and apparent length of the style vary in the same variety
just as much as betweea the so-called species, and it seems to me quite impossible
to draw a clear line of distinction between the several varieties, since specimens are
to be met with combining them all by intermediate links.
Cochlospermum Gossypiuni^ DC, is not found in a wild state in the island, but
only, as I&. Gardner has remarked, in the vicinity of temples.

When describing this plant, two years ago, nnder the name of Urandra apicalis,
1 had not the opportunity of referring to Blame's Museum Bot. Ludg. Batav.,
and took it for granted that Mr. Miers was correct in determining Dr. Wallich's
genus Qomphandra 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 Qomphandra. Blume's definition of Stemonurus
as "dmpa baccata, nucleo fibrose," does not apply to Qomphandra, though it
does to the species figured in the Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat., and to the plant
now nnder description. By a strange oversight, Mr. Miers has read my account of
the structure of the seed of Qomphandra polymorpha, Wight ( Hooker's Journal of
Bot. vol. vii. p. 211), as if it were that of ray Urandra apica/is, and has thus
been under the erroneous impression (Linneean Trans, vol. xxii. p. 97 et 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

which in appearance is not very nnlike an arillns, bnt of coarse essentially very
different from one. Mr. Miers is right in saying that Urandra apiealia is a
Siemonurus^ and I have now called it so ; bnt it is not so for the reasons he gives,
as has been shown above.

Aftfer 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
doubt that those quoted above, if not more, are referable to it in one or other
of its forms.

Hab. Damp forests of the Central Province, at an elevation of 3000

Equally protean, or even more so than the last species, in the size and shape of
its leaves, which vary from narrow-lanceolate to orbicular, with a long, narrow acu-
mination. ITie hairs upon the filaments are very jahort, and may easily have been
overlooked by Dr. Wight's draughtsman ; and the petals and stamens of the fertile
plaut are so very caducous, that it is not snrprisiug 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.
This species differs most obviously from the last iu 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 ' lUustrations' is, no doubt,
the tetramerous form of this.

very oblique leaves, smaller flowers, capitate stigma, and two-celled ovary. It may
be considered doubtful, perh^s, whether it is desirable to retain the genus Piptostylis
as distinct from Bergera. 1 am able to conflrm Mr. Dalzell's observation that the
locnli of the ovarium of B. KomigU are frequently two-ovuled.

This is, as trulj observed by Dr. Wight, very closely allied to the next species ;
bat, in addition to the difference in their shape, the under side of the leaves of the
present plant is less shining, and the large areolae formed by the inosculation of the
primary veins approach nearer to the margiu than they do in S. obtusifolia. If
'these are, as Br. Wight suggests, to be considered only varieties of one species, S.
acuminata would also have to be* joined with them, and perhaps this would best
express their real character, though I can hardly venture to unite them without
further investigation.

Until I found the same peculiarity existing in the next species, I considered, with
Dr. Wight, that the different states indicated above under the letters a and b were
distinct species : I am now disposed to look npon them rather as the foreshadowing
of a dioicous character, though fruit is produced apparently in equal abundance upon
the plants of either state.

This plant is so closely allied to the preceding that I suspect there must be some
mistake in its having been described with dehiscent 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)
petal sometimes present, as figured by Roxburgh.

differs from his in having most frequently two instead of one seed in each locnlns of
the seed-vessel ; the se^ 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 he different. The peculiar twisted character of the stigma, so evident

1 do not find the spur in this species thicker towards the middle, and the appear-
ance was probably caused in Dr. Amott's specimen by unequal pressure in chying.
This must be closely allied to, if not a variety of, /. latifolia^ Linn., judging from
the figore in Kheede, Hort. Mai. ix. 91. t. 48; and the Idst 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 Amott to
a species with them tomentuse.

deep blood-colour.

But for the cordate base of the leaves I should have referred this, without much

Closely allied to the preceding, but distinguished by its much smaller flowers, and
the relatively much shorter inferior articulation of the pedicel. In many respects
it would seem to resemble the 0. nitida, Thunb., also said to occur in Ceylon, but
the character of the inflorescence is different.

but this is another instance of an elevated humid locality producing a form with fewer

If my specimens are correctly named, they approach almost too near to C. nana
to be considered other than a variety of that species ; and C. umbellata is perhaps
only the mountain form of C. nana. I find the seeds of the former fewer in num-
ber, as wall as rather larger and more shining, than those of C. nana.

Not having been so fortunate as to obtain the flowers or fruit of var. et, I am un-
able to determine whether var. 3 is really distinct, as a species, from it, but I almost
suspect it will prove so, the leaflets being much less acuminated, and slightly different
in other respects.

The most characteristic forms of the above varieties might, in a less variable

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.

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 0. 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.

Hab. Central Province, at an elevation of 6000 to 8000 feet.
U some of the species of this genns did not individually vary so much in the size
of the leaves and flowers, and in the clothing of the calyx, 1 should without hesita-
tion have made a separate species of var. fi, but it bear^ so great a resemblance to
var. a in all other than the above respects, that I cannot venture to divide them.

vation. Var. y. Central Province, from 2000 to 4000 feet. Var. d.
From 4000 to 6000 feet.
The several varieties enumerated above, so run one into another, that I do not
fed justified in constituting distinct species of them. Of the plants referred to by
Lmnseus as representing his Melastoma asperA, Herman's would appear to be the
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.

Hab. Central Province, at an elevation of 6000 to 7000 feet.
Closely allied to the previous species, and much resembling its var. 8, and is
principally distinguished by its more rigid pubescence, more coriaceous leaves, and
fewer, larger, subsessile capitate flowers.

Hab. Var. a. Common in the hotter parts of the island. Var. 0.
Up to an elevation of 3000 feet. Norn. vulg. " Bowitteya," " MahJa-
bowitteya," " Katakaloowa."
The flat scales which clothe the calyx of var. jS are shorter and less shining than
in var. a : both sometimes occur with pale purple flowers. The 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
colour.

Although the var. fi, owing to the absence of the large bractese, has a very
different appearance to var. a, I have searched in vain for any other character of
the least importance to distingnish them, and therefore think it safer to describe
them as forms of one species.

I have never met with this plant, so cannot give a decided opinion as to whether

hardly seem, in tins £unily, sufficient to indicate more than forms of one species.
The leaves on some of my roecimens of O. Wightii exhibit an approach in form to

and Amott describe the froit of the latter as slightly pilose. The seeds appear to be

The several forms of this species merge so completely into one another, that I find

* The ovary in this genus appears to be normaUy 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
structure, the genus would have to be placed in the previous division of the fomily,
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 M. bracUata^ whilst they so closely resemble too the figure in * Hortns
Malabaricns,' vol. i. t. 52, quoted for M, eitrifoliat L., that I can scarcely believe
oar 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

The narrower, more acuminated, less pilose leaves and shorter flowers, principally
distinguish this from the last species. In M. strigosa too the caljx-tube is much
longer than in the present plant. I suspect, however, that they will prove to be
only forms of one species ; and M. protrada, Thw., will probably have to be united
with them as a more rare variety.

This species, with 0. Wightiana and G. affinis, forms an approach t o the next
genus, the albumen of their seeds being less evidently ruminate than in the other
species of Grumilea herein described, and more or less sulcate by the intrusion of
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 of
tolerably mature fruit, to which of the two genera certain plants should be referred.

The short tube of the corolla in var. 7 gives it an appearance very different from
that of the other varieties, and further investigation may prove it to be specifically
distinct ; but I can at present discover no other character of importance sufficient to
justify its separation as a species, and especially, too, as a similar variation is observ-
able in Pavetta Indicat L.

Dr. Wight's figure, quoted above, so well represents a common form of this
variable species, except that the capitula are somewhat larger in my specimens than
shown in that figure, that there can be little doubt, I think, of the two plants bdng
identical.

A most variable plant, the extreme forms of which, in the absence of the inter-
mediate ones, it would be difficult to believe specificaUy identical.

An examination of numerous specimens has proved to me that the characters
which have been employed to separate varr. a and fi as distinct species, are by no
means constant, so that I have no hesitation in uniting them.

Tke forms of this plant, which have been raised by some authors to the rank of
species, merge so insensibly into one another, that 1 feel obliged to include them aU
under one specific name. The amount of pubescence upon the several parts, as well
as the relative length of the calyx -lobes, are very variable, and 1 have found in the
same raceme some pedicels with indications of the two minute bracteolse, 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.

So variable is this plant as regards tbe 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 f to Ii inch in length, whilst other specimens
have them reaching to 7 inches, with a corresponding width ; the former occurring
npon the tops of the highest hills, and the latter in damp rich forests.

I was at one time disposed to regard some of the forms of this most variable
plant as distinct, but farther observation and the examination of a large unmber of
specimens, satisfy me that they all belong to one species. I have little doubt, too,
that Br. Wight's Is. lanceolata is a form of the present plant, for I have examples
of it extremely like his figure.

Though disposed at one time to regard the three well-marked varieties of this
plant as distinct species, I now find it impossible, after a most careful examination,
to discover any distinctive characters of sufficient importance to justify my separating
them otherwise than as varieties. The black colour of the pubescence upon the
gemmee and inflorescence of varr. iS and 7, gives them a different aspect from that
of var. a, but black hairs are frequently intermixed with the pale pubescence of the
latter, especially upon the gemmse. In all the specimens I have examined, the ovaiy
has been 8-celled.
The timber of thid tree is used for buildings : the juice of the unripe fruit is em-
ployed for paying the seams of fisMng-boats, and for putting upon their cordage and
lines.

I have not seen the female flowers of this species, so am unable to ascertain
whether they have four sterile stamens, as shown in Dr. Wight's figure, or a greater
number, as represented in Roxburgh's; but it is probable, judging from other
species, that the number of these organs is not very constant. The albumen of the
seeds is not ruminate.

This agrees so well with Hamilton's description of his plant, except that he men-
tions the corolla as being five-lobed, that 1 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 » 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
A £m6ryopteris, it is not truly so, for the terminal flower being the first to expand,
the inflorescence is really a modified cyme.

this interesting plant, which is nearly allied to B. erumenata^ but its larger leaves
and fmit, and its pentamerous flowers, well distinguish it.

I have devoted much time to the examination of the several very different-looking
varieties of this plant, expecting to discover some sufficiently important constant
characters to enaUe me to separate them specifically, bnt I find them so completely
connected t<^ether by intermediate forms, that I have no hesitation in considering
them all as representing only one very variable species : variable, it may truly be
called, since the leaves in var. iS are sometimes not a quarter of an inch in length,
whilst in var. 8 they reach to five inches in length.

A very variable plant, and perhaps var. fi, 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
being converted into leaves, and thus it approaches var. y, in which the leaves of a
branch often he&t each a single stalked flower in its axil. The leaves in var. y show
not uncommonly a disposition to a verticiUate arrangement. Var. 8 has, at first
sight, a very distinct appearance, but the peculiar form of its leaves proves it to be
in an abnormal state, arising probably from certain conditions of moisture and ex-
posure.

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.

Differs ftom the preceding in its more acuminated leaves and in the character of
the pubescence. From S. pulehra, Wight, Ic. t. 1230, to which it bears a close re-

Hab. Warmer parts of the island ; common.
Flores flavidi. Carpella oblonga, rostrato-acuminata, stipitata, pollicaria.
The wood of this species has a very fine, close grain, resembling that of the Box-
tree.

Hab. Central Province, in the Maturatte and Badulla Districts.
Folia lineari-lanceolata, obtuse acuminata, basi acnta, supeme nitida, sabtas opaca
palUdioraqne, venis primariis parallelis param conspicnis, 2-6 poll, longa, i-1 poll,
lata, petiolo 3-5 lin. longo. Flores flavidi. Carpella (immatura) parce acuminata.
This would seem to have the leaves narrower and less numerously and strongly
veined than Dr. Wight's plants as represented in his figure, but in other respects
there appears to be great similarity.

lliis much resembles W. tinctorial R. Br. (c.p. 1838, 2385), but its much nar-
rower and more membranaceous leaves, and very differently- shaped corona, seem
siiflBciently to distinguish it fi'om that species. Of the latter I have only garden
specimens in the herbarium, and I have no evidence of its having been detected
wild in the island, though it may be expected to occur so in the northern districts.

as distinct species, will be discovered to be mere varieties of it.

Hab. On rocky ground at Ooma Oya, on the lower road from Kandy
to Badulla, at no great elevation.
My specimens of this plant so much resemble Roxburgh's figure of S. adscendens
in PI. Cor. t. 30, that it seems not improbable that the cUia were accidentally absent,
or overlooked in the corolla of his specimen.

Hab. Central Province, at an elevation of 2000 to 6000 feet.
This diflfers from F. Zeylanica in its more scandent habit, much shorter flowers,
and more oblong fruit ; but in other respects they are very closely allied. In both,
the placenta are distinct, not, as in the following species, cohering in the centre of
the oVary.

tibus.— c.p. 1826.
Hab. Hantani, in the Central Province, at an elevation of 3000 to
4000 feet.
The present species has weaker, more scandent branches, than the preceding. Its
leaves have a more crowded appearance, and the calyx is larger, with its pair of
bracteoles at its immediate base, instead of halfway down the pedicel, as in the pre-
ceding. The two plants are, however, very closely allied, and their flowers are very
similar in general appearance. The somewhat coriaceous flowers of all three species
are of a ydlowish- white colour ; the fruit is shining and glaucous.

Distinguished from the preceding by its pentamerous flowers and larger fruit, as
indicated by Mr. Bentham. I have never seen the fruit nearly so large as it is re-
presented by Rheede, but have never met with it quite mature. The leaves of the
present species are most frequently somewhat 5 -nerved at the base, owing to the
distinctness of the submargind nervure.

Semina pollicaria.
This large climbing plant much resembles Blume's figure of S. Tiente, Lesch.,
Rmnphia, t. 24, and would seem also to have many characters in common with S.
ovalifolia. Wall. ; but in these latter the inflorescence is axillary, whilst in the pre-
sent species it terminates the small ramuli, as in iS. nux-vomica. From the last-
named species the present differs in, besides its scandent habit, having narrower,
more acuminated leaves, and larger flowers.

Between the iforms a and jS 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 Ruhiacea and Erythroxylea^ and I believe
also in the OxcUidaceay this difference is scarcely snfScient to found a specific cha-
racter upon. The seeds in both forms are delicately mnricated, or firequently nearly
smooth. As regards the figure in Kumph. Amb. lib. xi. t. 72. f. 3, quoted by
Linneens, it woxdd 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
aili^ to, if it indeed be more than a state of L. cristatum,

This is probably L. Forbesianunit Griseb., in part ; but it does not quite agree
with the characters given of t^e 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 s^jccies (in addition to the
fascicle of flower-pedicels), a sessUe 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.

MUlinfftonia hortensi^ is very common, but in or near cultivated ground, and I

The only specimen of this plant I possess agrees very "well with Wight's figure',
but the shape of the corolla would appear to be so very unlike that of Wallich's
plant, that, takiug the* difference of locality also into consideration, 1 suspect they
must be distinct, though Choisy, in DC. Prod. p. 366, describes them as one species,
under the name of Ipomaa atropurpurea.
Batatas edulis, Choisy, is abundantly cultivated as a vegetable. B. pentaphylla
is common in gardens, and Quamoclit coccinea and Q. vulgaris are also common

and the-two may possibly prove to be varieties only of one species.

his enumeration of the Ceylon species (which was arranged according to Nees's me-

to the study of every species and its synonyms, and has classified the whole in accord-

Repeated examinations of an extensive set of specimens in the Hookerian Herba-

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 the '
specific name adopted by Nees von Esenbeck quite inappropriate ; and the same ob-
jection may be made to the original one given by Linnaeus, and which, as being the
oldest, I have revived. For so cosmopolitan a plant the specific teifn communis or
vulgaris would perhaps be more suitable. The notes by Mr. Benthun to the Jsy-
stasia of the ' Flora Nigretiana' show that I have tiie best authority for the greater
part of the identifications I have made of this variable species. — T. A,

Mr. Thwaites observes that the somewhat procumbent habit, smaller flowers and

that when growing they look very different ; but I have been unable to find any
sufficient characters amongst the large series of specimens contained in the Hookerian
Herbarium, and moreover Nees and others have partially united them. — T, A,

In the present plant the spikes of fiowers are much shorter, the leaves are tomen-

but frpm their general similarity I think they are no 4ottbt fiNrma of one species.

Hab. Very common in the Central Proyince, up to an elevation of
7000 feet. Var. y. Horton Plains.
A very variable plant in the size of the flowers and in the amount and character of
the pnb^cence, which latter upon the racemes varies from very glandular to being
nearly or quite free from glands. Var. 7 may possibly prove to be a distinct species,
but 1 am ^posed to believe it to be only a variety.
2. B. oblonc^a, Benth. 1. c— c.p. 2057.
Hab. Common on the rocky margins of streams in the Central Pro-
vince, up to an elevation of 7000 feet.
All my specimens have the leaves with their base narrowed gradually into the pe-
tiole, and therefore belong to Bentham*s var. iS of this species, and which would
seem to be the typical form of it.

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

The smaller size and procumbent habit of A, polygamus appear to me to be the

I believe we have but one species of this genus indigenous to Ceylon, buk it is an
extremely variable plant. When occurring in the hotter parts of the island the leaves
are more membranaceous, and have their leprous scales nearly all white ; higher up,
on the hills, the leaves are usually larger and firmer, and there is a greater intermix-
ture of ferruginous scales, and sometimes the scales are all ferruginous.

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

what irregnlar shape ; but the bark of all the forms of this species possesses the
odour of cinuamon 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. $ and 7 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,
N. 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.

A most variable plant, the extreme forms of which are so very dissimilar in ap-

into the other that is impossible to consider them other than varieties. Var. 7 ap-
proaches very closely some forms of the next species.

2^6 ENUMEBATION OF lEu^horbtocea.
A praecedente, cui valdc affinis, differt ramulis dongatie debilibns; foliis mians
pfloais et sspius aperte cordatis ; capsula majore elongatiorequc, pOis stellatu parce
conapersa.
The present plant beare considerable resemblance to Roxburgh's Croton drupa*
ceum; but, besides other diflferences, the frait of the latter ii much laa^r and more
haiiy, and the htteral nerves of its leaves form a much more acute angle with the
costa.
3. C. Klotmscliiaaiim, Wight, Ic. t. 1914.--C.P. 2113.
Hab. Not uncommon in the hot, drier parts of the island.
Fruiex vel arbor parva, partibua junioribus dense stellato-pubescentibus. Folia ob-

disciformibus ad apicem subsessilibus. Capsula parum depressa, triloba, 4 lin. in
diam., denique glabra.
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 ktter being distinctly trilobed instead of subsphserical.

Hab. Yeiy common in the south of the island, and especiaUj near

Tbougb 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 sestivation, and other minor characters about the inflorescence of
the present plant, are probably sufficient to justify its being constituted a distinct
genus.

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

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

A species (c.p. 3691), called by the Ciughalese " Seewiya-wel," evidently very
closely allied to the present, if not, as I suspect, a mere form of it, occurs upon large
trees and on rocks, near the banks of rivers and streams, in the Central Province;
but I have not yet been so fortunate as to meet with specimens in flower. The
leaves are rather firmer in texture and less suddenly acuminated than in the cultivated
C. Siriboa^ but in other respects are very similar in character to those of the latter.

^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. /8. The seeds of both varieties are used by the Cinghalese to chew with their
betel, and as medicines.

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, 8 in number,
which lie concealed, one within the fold of each of the exterior glumes of the flower,
may easily escape observation, unless great care be taken in the dissection.

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

Closely allied to and possibly a variety of R. aurea, but I am disposed to consider
it distinct : the present plant is more glancons, the leaves much narrower, the panicle
fewer-flowered, and the rostrum of the fruit very diflferent in shape. B. articulata,
Schult., of which I have a specimen from Khasia given me by Dr. Hooka*, is nearly
allied to both the above-mentioned plants, Imt specifically distinct, I think.

the locality he gives for his species (Surinam and Guyana) being so distant, from this,
renders it not unlikely that the Ceylon plant will prove to be distinct.

but, from the examination of a large number of specimens, I feel satisfied they may
be safely arranged under one specific name. The larger hairy form occurs at a con-
siderable elevation on the hills.
