Gamble’s Flora of the Presidency of Madras, H. H. Haines’s Botany of Bihar and Orissa, T. Cooke’s Flora of the Presidency of Bombay, and H. N. Ridley’s Flora of the Malay Peninsula, shows that many genera and species are given different names to those used by Trimen. This is due to the correc- tion of mistakes, changes in the limits of genera and species, and changes made for nomenclatural reasons. In this work a summary of all these changes has been made to bring Trimen’s work up to date as far as possible. The author has endeavoured to retain Trimen’s arrangement and names whenever possible. Thus Hallier’s division of [pomea into several genera, which is accepted by Gamble but rejected by Haines, has not been adopted, and certain homonyms which have been proposed by Haines but rejected by Gamble have also been rejected. Trimen’s spelling of the adjective seylanicus, which is also that of Linnzus and the older botanists, has been retained; to have done otherwise would logically necessitate the admission of ceylanicus and zeylani- cus as valid specific names in the same genus. Certain names such as Botrys Lour., Bahel Adans., Anatheruwm Beauv. and Rhaphis Lour., which have been adopted by no modern authors, have been rejected, and it is proposed that Ampelocissus Planch., Asteracantha Nees, V etiveria Thouars, and Chrysopogon Trin., which have been retained for the above genera, should be added to the list of nomina conser- vanda,; but there seems no reason for conserving Ampelecissus Planch. against Vitis Linn. or Cissus Linn., Asteracantha Nees against Hygrophila R.Br., or Vetiveria Thouars against Andropogon Linn. Descriptions of several new species and of certain naturalized plants which were not described by Trimen have been added, and plants found as casuals but not established have been inserted in the keys but not described. The doubt- eqyiul records mentioned by Trimen have similarly been inserted cs in the keys, as it appears that Trimen excluded several plants ©? which will probably be rediscovered; Cleome Burmanii and ~ Blumea Wightiana have already been found. Comparatively few botanical works have been published in we Ceylon in recent years, the most important being F. Lewis’s aq Descriptive Catalogue of the More Useful Trees and —_ v Vi Introduction Flowering Plants of the Western and Sabaragamuwa Provinces, a work frequently quoted for native names and localities of plants; J. Attygalle’s Sinhalese Materia Medica, J. C. Willis’ Revised Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Ferns of Ceylon, in which several changes from Trimen’s nomenclature and classification were made; and some short notes and papers in the Annals of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, by H. Wright, J.C. Willis, T. Péetehaamaee; J- Livera. The orthography follows that adopted by Trimen except that the names of introduced and doubtful species are printed in small capitals. The compiler wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to the Director and staff of the Kew Herbarium, especially to Mr. C. E. C. Fischer and Mr. C. E. Hubbardeeiee Biswas, of the Calcutta Herbarium, and tore Hitchcock, of the U.S. National Herbarium, for numerous identifications. A. H. G. ALSTON.

Lewis in the Ceylon Observer states that it is ‘‘ a small slender stemmed plant growing in ‘ Waturana’ land at Honakka, Maguru- ganga Valley, Pasdun Korale.”’ It is scarcely likely to belong to Stemonophorus and may not be a Dipterocarp at all. Monoporandra ‘Thw. is not worth separating from Stemonoporus Thw. It has 5 stamens, Stemonoporus 15 in the few cases where the flowers are known. The number of stamens varies within the species in some Dipterocarps showing that it is a character of little systematic importance. Both genera were reduced to Vateria by Bentham and Hooker, but in that genus the anthers dehisce laterally and not by pores. S. ?Moonit Thw. is a very curious plant and should probably form a separate genus. For Monoporandra cordifolia Thw. read: 14. Stemonoporus cordifolius (Thw.)

This species, of which I have seen no specimen but only seeds, has 5 or more pairs of leaflets and simple spikes. It is considered a young form by Wight and Arnott, but distinct by Ridley (Journ. Bot. LVIII, p. 195), who regards the typical E. gigas (E. scandens) as restricted to the West Indies and E. phaseoloidzs (E. Rumphii) to the Philippines and Amboina. Lens phaseoloides is considered by some authors to be the type of the genus Lens. Tennant, Ceylon I, p. 105, makes the following statements: ‘‘ One monstrous creeping plant called by the Kandyans the Maha-pus-wael or Great Hollow climber, has pods, some of which I have seen fully five feet long and six inches broad. . . . The same plant, when found in lower situations, where it wants the soil and moisture of the moun- tains, is so altered in appearance that the natives call it Heen-pus- wael.”’ The pods are normally flat, but one of the drawings at Peradeniya shows a twisted pod.

Female flowers solitary in axil of foliage leaf, large; in bud measure 5 mm. in length and 6 mm. in dia- meter; accessory whorls very unequal; peduncle short and stout, covered with light brown hairs, 1-5 mm. long, 3 mm. diameter two small hairy bracteoles on peduncle forming an opposite pair at right angles to antero-posterior axis (cf. D. affinis and D. Ebenum) 2 mm. long broad base, acute apex; occasionally a third bracteole occurs placed between flower and axis. Calyx green to brown, deeply lobed, pubes- cent, forming rather shallow cup; segments 4-7 usually 6, accrescent, tapering apex, broad base, margins undulate 7 mm. long, 5 mm. wide, become more nearly horizontal after fertilisation. Corolla yellow, wide-throated, white base, both surfaces covered with silky hairs, 9 mm. long, 5 mm. diameter; segments 5, tapering apex, 3 mm. long, 2-5 mm. wide.

Pistil green, globose, densely pibescemn; stigmas 4, green hairy, and fleshy; ovary globose, 7 mm. long, 4 mm. diameter; 4-6-celled, but orientation of locult very irregular; ovules usually disposed at right angles to the plane of antero-posterior axis and this apparently in con- sequence of pressure.” (Wright !. cp. 17a Elukkapudena; Antibuvena, Diggalrana; Bibile (Wright). ‘‘ The Sinhalese call the tree Kadumberiya in this district.

Young trees 75 mm. (3 inches) diameter are invariably hollow in the centre, and large trees measuring 480 mm. diameter possess only a narrow peripheral band of dirty white living wood, the central and median portions being quite rotten. On exposure the timber changes to a darker colour with irregular streaks of black, often giving a pattern to the transverse section similar to what has been noted in D. ovalifolia.’? (Wright 1. c.)

There is no real black heartwood, only small black traces here and there. The coloured materials in the various elements are small in quantity; fibres are abundant and medullary rays poor, hence an even-grained timber results. Rings of growth sometimes conspicuous, the light narrow rings measuring 0°2-1'2 mm. radical diameter and being distanced 2-8 mm. radically from one another.’’ (Wright 1. c.) 18. D. Moonii Thw.

(4 inches) diameter; in some specimens much smaller than the foregoing the heartwood was large, streaked brown, and probably sold as ‘‘ bastard ’’ ebony, such samples are often equal to our best woods from an ornamental point of view.’’ (Wright 1. c. p. 196.)

The red colour intensifies from without inwards and local black strands occur here and there. The coloured heartwood is not usually large; some specimens, however, yield a large black and brown streaked heartwood of considerable beauty and value. The sapwood is much less durable than the heartwood, in consequence of the wide lumined tracheal and parenchymatous elements there existing. The heartwood contains a fair percentage of fibres of narrow lumen. Trees of this species are certainly worth a little attention judging from many excel- lent specimens which I have seen at Ambalava, near Gampola.”’ (Wright 1. c. p. 197.)

Though Thwaites marked one of his specimens ‘‘a tree ”’ all the specimens except one have tendrils and were therefore climbers as marked by Nevill.

Rijks Herb. p. 21 (1910), it is repre- sented by Ipomea cespitosa O. Ktze. (Merremia cespitosa Hall. f.) in Linnzus’s Herbarium, in the Species Plantarum however he quotes a figure, in the Herbarium Amboinense, which is this species and has been accepted by some authors as the type. Linnzus quotes Olus vagum Rumph., which is this species, under his C. medium. C. medium is referred to Anisea medium Chois. by Choisy and to J. denticulata Choisy non R. Br. by the Index Kewensis; Linnzus’s first citation is Rheede XI, p. 113 t. 55 which is J. angusti- folia Jacq. It is the type of I. media Druce (medium). Hallier adopts Merremia hastata Hall. f. based on Convolvulus hastatus Lamkk. non Forsk. for I. angustifolia Jacq. The specimens of var. parviflora Trim. in the Peradeniya Herbarium have been marked J. Gleniei? by Hallier and certainly appear to be specifically distinct from I. aquatica Forsk. Clarke describes the peduncles of I. acquatica as ‘‘ 1-fld., ebracteate ’’ while those of var. parviflora are usually 3-fld., he adds however ‘‘ sepals obscurely muri- cate ’’ which is very characteristic of var. parviflora. Clarke describes I. Gleniei Thw. as ‘‘ creeping, hardly twining ”’ but does not say if the seeds were pubescent or not. It runs down to this species in the Key, and Thwaites probably intended the plant collected by Glenie afterwards named var. parviflora by Trimen. Mr. C. E. C. Fischer (in litt.) considers Glenie’s plant to be I. aquatica. Part III. Ipomea. ] Convolvulacee. 205 Page 222.—For I. repens Lam. read: 23. E. rugosa Choisy Conv. p. 64 (1833).

Ceylon was apparently Linnzeus’s type locality and there is a specimen of this plant in his Herbarium. He states that the corolla was purple, which can be accounted for, when the following remark of Van Buuren (I. c. p. 7) is considered : ‘‘ At the approach of the dry season, some plants (of S. asiatica) which I had under observation showed a sensitiveness to drought. The leaves took on a purplish-red tinge whilst even the corolla had many fine streaks of the same colour.”’ It is possible that we have 3 allied species included under this name.

Madr. p. 981 (1924), call this U. graminifolia Vahl and transfer the name U. coerulea Linn. to U. nivea. Linnzus’s type was the Ceylon plant which was presumably seen by Trimen. Linnzus also cited Hort. Mal. IX, t. 70, which is U. reticulata Sm.

Madr. p. 981 (1924), he separates it from U. ceerulea (U. gramintfolia) as follows : Scapes slender, simple, 2-6 in. high, 3—6-flowered ; sepals ovate, acute; corolla small with obovate upper and orbicular entire lower lip, the latter ‘2-3 in. broad with straight conical spur slightly curved forwards ; seeds subglobose, the testa with subhexagonal scrobiculate areoles . : : . uliginosa (affinis). Scapes slender, sometimes slightly twining, short, 4-6 in. long, rarely longer; the scales few and distant, lanceolate; spur narrowly-conic, curved; calyx lobes ovate acuminate; corolla with obovate upper and broadly ovate reticulate lower lip ; seeds reticulate with elongate areoles_. : : . coerulea (graminifolia). The most important characters appear to be: U. uliginosa (1) lower lip of corolla orbicular, entire, (2) spur ‘‘ straight conical slightly curved,’’ (3) seeds ‘* subglobose, the testa with subhexagonal scrobicu- late areoles.”’ U. ceerulea (1) lower lip of corolla ovate, (2) spur curved, (3) seeds reticulate with elongate areoles. But these characters do not appear to be constantly associated. e.g. Wight Ic. t. 1578 p. 1 has an acuminate lower lip and hexagonal areoles and is referred to U. uliginosa by Gamble, the same applies to t. 1580 1 t. 1578 2. has an emarginate lip and hexagonal areoles. t. 1575 has elongate areoles and an emarginate and acuminate lip. t. 1573 has elongate areoles and an obtuse tip. The common Ceylon plant has an entire lip and slightly curved spur. Ceylon U. affinis does not appear to be specifically distant. 6. U. reticulata Sm. Delgoda; Hiyare, Galle.

Madr. p- 1010, has only page priority over Ebermaiera Nees. E. zeylanica Nees. The type locality is given in DC. Prodr. as ‘‘ Ad Kandy Waraka- polly in Zeylano, McRae, 369,’’ which is presumably Varakapola near Ambepussa. The Batticaloa specimen appears to be the E. glauca Nees, which may prove only a dry country form of E. seylanica Nees. Gamble separates them as follows: Stem erect, the branches not trailing, viscous-pubes- cent ; upper leaves or nearly all alternate, spathulate ; bract narrow oa bracteoles 2, linear, small ; seeds globose, not pitted . . I. glauca. Stem-branches trailing with short erect stems from the nodes, hispid, not viscous; leaves all opposite. ellip- tic-oblong or obovate; bract broad, obovate, brac- teoles 2, linear-lanceolate; seeds pitted é . 2. seylanica.

Brit. Ind. (VI, p. 526) and Wight Ic. t. 797 is quoted; it seems to be A. odora in Engler’s sense and is perhaps the plant shown in J.R.H.S. LII, f. 2-3 (1927), and in Rep. Miss. B. G. XI, p. 11. The leaves of the Ceylon specimens are not peltate, and agree well with the A. indica of the Fl. Brit. Ind. (p. 525), as represented by Part IV. Alocasia. | Aracee. 297 Wight Ic. t. 794. A. macrorrhiza in Engler’s sense (Mon. Phan. p. 502) has not got peltate leaves. A. macrorrhiza is restricted to Ceylon by Haines (Bot. Bihar and Orissa p. 870) and the name A. odora applied to the Indian plant. Fl. Zeyl. no. 327 appears to be the type of Arum macrorrhiza Linn. and so the name is rightly applied, though A. indica may be a synonym. Bot. Reg. t. 641 has the spathe green within, while that of our plant is white within. I suspect that A. indica is the cultivated species with spotted petioles.
