The Indian T. calcarata has fenestrate fruit, thus differing
specifically from the Japanese 7. dubia. The confusion has
arisen under Bot. Mag. t. 5469, which represents the plant
of T. dubia but the fruit of 7: calcarata (Cogniaux).
» 643. Begonia fallax. The type specimen of this species, lately
i found in Wight's private Herbarium, is B. malabarica, Lam.
705,1. 5. The Kumaon plant collected by Strachey and Winter-
bottom is Trachydium Roylei. Hence Pleurospermum
stellatum is known (very imperfectly) only by the example
of Royle. The plant described as Var. Lindleyana is a
different species, but it is very doubtful whether it is the
same as Royle’s (W. B. Hemsley).

short, flattened, incurved, expanded at the top into acup, which bears two glo-
bose cells that burst transversely, springing back elastically ; 3 deformed, broad,

ous, inner orbicular. Brandis For. Flor. 115; Wt. & Arn. in Ed. New Phil.

TEMPERATE HIMALAYA; from Smra, alt. 4-8000 ft., to Sixx, alt. 8-10,000 ft.
—Distris.? Japan.

A small tree, 20 ft.; branches, petioles, and panicles covered with soft rusty
pubescence. Leaves 6-12 by 3-5 in. membranous, cuspidate-acuminate, nar-
rowed into the petiole; nerves very many, parallel, ending in marginal teeth. Panicle
as long as the leaves or longer, spreading, lax-flowered ; bracts broad, deciduous ;
pedicels very short ; flowers white. Drupe globose, } in. diam., sometimes didymous.
—This is very near indeed to the Japan M. myriantha Sieb. & Zucc., which is just
distinguishable by the persistent subulate bracts. Wallich's 8116 seems to be a young
state of this, with large leaves glabrous beneath.

2. M. pungens, Wall. Cat. 8114 E, F (Millingtonia); leaves ob-
lanceolate caudate-acuminate coarsely serrate glabrous or puberulous beneath,

SUBTROPICAL and TEMPERATE HIMALAYA ; alt. 3-8000 ft., from Marri to Nipal.—
Distr. Japan.

A small tree; branches, petioles, and panicles clothed with rusty pubescence.
Leaves 5-9 in. by 2-3 in., very coriaceous, narrowed into the petiole, almost spinulose-
serrate, apex long quite entire; nerves stout, ascending, very prominent beneath;
petiole }-1 in. Panicle often much larger than the leaves, spreading, erect; flowers
densely fascicled on the ultimate branchlets, larger than in M. dilleniafolia or simplici-
folia. Drupe } in. diam. globose.—The Japanese specimens have usually longer
petioles, but I find no other difference. The densely glomerate larger flowers at once
distinguishes this from M. simplicifolia. The M. integrifolia Wall. Herb. under
8114 G. consists of one specimen of this with nearly entire leaves, and one of M.

simplicifolia, both from Nipal.

tt Leaves quite entire, or subserrate when young only.

deish southwards.—DisTRis. Cultivated as far west as Muscat, in all Eastern tropi-
cal Asia, and generally in the tropics.

A large tree, glabrous, except the panicle; branches widely spreading. Leaves
6-16 in., very variable in breadth, crowded at the ends of the branches, acute, acu-
minate or obtuse, shining, nerved, quite entire, margins often undulate ; petiole 1-4
in. swollen at the base. Panicles a foot and more, pubescent, rarely glabrate ; bracts
elliptic, concave. Flowers yellow, odorous, subsessile, rarely pedicelled, d and %
on the same panicle. Sepals ovate, oblong, concave. Petals twice as long, ovate,
ridges 3—5, orange. Disk fleshy, 5-lobed. Stamen 1, inserted upon the disk, filament
subulate; anther purple. Ovary glabrous. Drupe 2-6 in., compressed, yellow.—It
is often difficult to say whether so common a tree is wild or not in a given locality,
but there seems to be little doubt but that it is indigenous in the localities enume-
rated above. Amongst the varieties, those with an almost glabrous panicle from the
Western Peninsula look the most unlike the ordinary cultivated form. One Maisor
specimen has leaves 10 by 13 in., much resembling those of M. oblongifolia, Wallich’s
8487 D. is a Sorindeia, a agascar plant accidentally intermixed; 8487 G. is
Buchanania? acuminata (Wall. Cat, 981), and 8487 I. is, I suspect, M. sylvatica.

2, M. caloneura, Kurz in Beng. As. Soc. Journ. 1873, ii. 66; leaves
oblong or oblong-lanceolate finely reticulated between the nerves acuminate,
panicle spreading tomentose, flowers crowded sessile, petals 5 with 3 ridges,
stamens 1 or 2 fertile, ovary rough, style lateral or basal.

MARTABAN, Kurz.

A moderate sized tree. Leaves 4-6 by 11-12 in., equally reticulated on both sur-
faces between the 16-20 pairs of arching nerves; petiole 3-1 in., much thickened at
the base. Panicle tomentose throughout. Flowers much as in M. indica, the re-
flexed petals having 3 ridges. (Fruit as large as a hen's egg, subreniform, smooth,
obtuse, yellow, sweet and acid, Kurz).—My specimens of this are imperfect; it is
evidently very nearly indeed allied to M. indica, differing chiefly in the very fine re-
ticulation of the leaves, as pointed out by Kurz. Wallich’s M. indica, 8487 H. from
Tavoy is possibly the same.

3. M. pentandra, Hook. f.; leaves oblong or oblong-lanceolate acumi-
nate reticulated on both surfaces, panicle spreading tomentose, flowers crowded
subsessile, petals 5 with 3 ridges, stamens 5 perfect, ovary smooth, style sub-

Maracca, Griffith, Maingay.

A tree. Leaves 5-12 by 2-4 in., quite similar to those of M. indica, as are the
panicles and flowers, except that Maingay describes the disk as more fully and
fairly developed than in any form he had figured. The 5 stamens are all perfect
and unequal. The petals are yellowish-white, with yellow brown ridges. Maingay
figures the style as nearly terminal, and the ovule as quite laterally suspended.—The
Malay name is ‘ Mam ploni,’ which means mango ripened artificially.

4. M. Griffithii, Hook. f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxii. 168, in mote;
leaves small oblong or oblong-obovate obtuse reticulate between the nerves,

Branches very thick, woody, glabrous, angled, and channelled. Leaves 4-5 by
2-24 in., alternate, not approximate at the ends of the branches, exceedingly thick
and hard when dry,smooth on both surfaces; midrib strong; nerves about 10, faint ;
Tetieulations very obscure ; petiole 1 in., of the upper leaves 3 in., extremely thickened
at the back especially, the thickening sometimes extending up the midrib. Panicle

I am in some doubt about this plant, which is well figured in Roxburgh's

+, swings, but of which I have seen no flowering or fruiting specimen. I believe
lt to be a common tree in the Silhet, Khasia and Sikkim jungles, with usually
longer more membranous young leaves than the Mango, and a more open lax per-
fectly glabrous panicle, and loose pedicelled flowers. Roxburgh contrasts it with
the cultivated sorts as having a much larger panicle, with the numerous ramifica-
tions more erect and slender, flowers more completely monandrous, disk villous.
e leaves he describes as in the common Mango. The drupe he figures as ovoid,
ually narrowed at the top into a sharp curved beak. Graham (Cat. Bemb. Pl.)

contracted panicle, more pedicelled flowers, perfectly glabrous sepals, and short
petals.

white (Maingay); the ridges raised at their ends. Stamens very short, inserted on
the disk. Disk tumid, 4-lobed. Style lateral. (Drupe roundish, becoming very
dark-coloured, Jack).—Maingay in his MSS. describes the petals as 5, and stamens as
usually 2, but I tind the flower to be uniformly 4-merous and monandrous; Jack
however states that a small superfluous fifth petal is sometimes placed within the >
test. This is allied in flower and inflorescence to M. Griffithii.

leaves, branches pale green (when dry), rather slender. Flowers in. diam., pedicel
slender, Sepals ovate, obtuse. Petals about twice as long. Stamen short. Style
subulate, subterminal.—There appear to be two varieties of this in Maingay’s Her-

petiole, Opaque above, with sunk nerves, tumid between the nerves; the other
(marked as truly wild) with brown (when dry) more shining leaves, narrowed into

Maracca, Griffith, Cumming (2330), Maingay.

A very lofty tree (Griffith); branchlets stout, with pale bark. Leaves 3-6 by
14-1§ in., very thickly coriaceous, gradually narrowed into a very stout petiole 2-14
in., not reticulate on either surface ; nerves about 20 pairs, very faint, spreading and
parallel. Panicle on a long and stout peduncle, much exceeding the leaves. Flowers
4 in. diam.; pedicels very short. Sepals many, orbicular, tomentose. Petals three
times as long, concave, purple, erect till a late period. Disk a slender stipes. Fila-
ments very slender (purple, alternating with short horns, Maingay). Ovary glabrous ;
style capillary, lateral. (Drupe pyriform, 4} by 2} in., pale green, with a pink blush,
flesh livid or purplish flesh-colour; stone fibro-coriaceous, adherent to the membranous
testa ; radicle basal, very large. Maingay.)—Called Lanjoot by the Malays, according
to Maingay and Griffith. The latter describes the drupe as smooth, glaucescent,
fleshy, fetid, exuding a black varnish, traversed by innumerable fibres; stone ovate-
lanceolate, fibro-coriaceous. Seed erect, adhering to the black tegument on the one
side, on the other smooth; cotyledons with one half the surface smooth, the other
wrinkled. Maingay describes the disk as hemispherical, but I do not find it so.

lanceolate acute acuminate or rounded at the tip, panicle spreading quite gla-
brous, petals narrow linear, stamens 5, one much longer than the others whose
anthers are imperfect.

Maracca, Maingay.

A tree, everywhere quite glabrous. Leaves much longer and narrower than inany
other species, 6-10 by 11-13 in., coriaceous, reticulated on both surfaces, margins
waved, base acute abruptly contracted into a very slender petiole 1-2 in.;
nerves 25-35 pairs, slender, almost horizontal. Panicle longer than the leaves,
peduncle long and branches thick, black when dry. Flowers erect, almost jin. long;
pedicel turbinate. Sepals unequal, ovate-lanceolate. Petals very narrow, erect,
reflexed sharply from the middle, 1-nerved (Maingay), 3-nerved in a young state.
Disk a slender pedicel. Filaments very slender, shorter than the capillary style,
which is lateral. (Drupe obliquely broadly oblong-globose; flesh yellow, acid and
terebinthine; stone thin, fibrous; testa coriaceous, Maingay.)\—This in foliage

approaches very closely Blume's M. macrocarpa of Java, which has still narrower

leaves with crimped edges, 40 pairs of nerves, and a bitter-sweet fruit as large as a

Odina.] XLVI. ANACARDIACE&. (J. D. Hooker.) 29

Seed pendulous, oblong, compressed ; testa thin; cotyledons thin, flat; radicle supe-
nior.—Maingay notes that this tree is polygamo-diecious, but all the flowers I have
examined seem to be hermaphrodite. Owing to the minuteness of the parts of the
flower he states he was unable to make out the structure of the ovary and ovules.
That I have given is, I think, correct.

The genus Pentaspadon was founded on a Bornean plant (Trans. Linn. Soc. xxiii.
168 t. 24), afterwards published from Sumatran specimens as Nothoprotium by Mi-
quel (Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 527), who referred it to Burseracee. Miquel’s description
18 most imperfect, and I added to it in the Genera Plantarum the character of having two
styles, taken from flowers sent to me by Miquel as belonging to his plant, but which
prove to belong to a totally different one. Marchand (Rev. Anacard. 90, 183) was
the first. to identify Nothoprotium with Pentaspadon, and his identification I have
confirmed by specimens subsequently received from Miquel. The fruit of the original

species being unknown, it is possible that that here described may not be con-
generic.

Iretain this species with great hesitation, having only a flowery specimen, and
finding it referred to a variety of S. oblongifolia, by Thwaites, in his Addenda. From
the latter it appears to me to be wholly distinct, having precisely the peculiar reticu-
lation and undersurface colouring of S. Gardneri, from which it differs in the long
acute tail to the apex of the leaf and slender midrib above. According to Thwaites's
description, it further differs in the less coriaceous leaves, smaller panicle, and
differently shaped fruit. From S. nigro-viridis and S. obscura it seems to me to differ
in the leaf not being decurrent into the petiole, and in its very long acute tip.

A very large tree; bark red within, aromatic. Leaves 4-5 by 234-33 in., aromatic,
5-nerved at the base; petiole 1-14 in. Racemes axillary and terminal, shorter than
the leaves, woolly. Flowers 4 in. diam., inodorous. Drupe 1 in. long, obovoid ob-
tusely 3-lobed, rough and setose, flesh bitter; stone triquetrous, 3-celled.

Of this remarkable plant nothing is known except from the plate and description
of Rheede. I follow the majority of authors in placing it at the end of Terebinthacee,
with which, however, I suspect it has nothing to do. Jussieu (Gen. Pl. 370) suggests

that it may be more allied to Sapindacee. To me it looks more like a Euphorbiaceous
or Verbenaceous plant.

hypogynous, rarely fewer by arrest or indefinite ; filaments free or variously com-
bined. Anthers 2-celled, the dehiscence almost always longitudinal. Ovary
free; style simple, cylindrical, usually declinate ; stigma capitate, terminal
or oblique. Ovules one-or more on the ventral suture. Fruit usually dry, a pod
splitting open along both sutures, sometimes continuous and indehiscent, at
others separating into l-seeded joints. Seeds usually exalbuminous ; cotyledons
foliaceous or amygdaloid, with a straight or inflexed accumbent radicle.—

DOUBTFUL SPECIES,

T. Fusca, W. & A. Prodr. 210 (T. argentea, Wight in Wall. Cat. 5648, non pers.)
is a plant gathered by Dr. Wight on the Dindygul hills, of which the flowers are not
known. In general habit, leaves, inflorescence, vestiture, and the shape of the calyx
and pod, it resembles closely Mundulea suberosa, but the leaflets are shorter and more
obtuse, and the pod dehisces readily, like that of a Tephrosia, and the sutures are nob
thickened so as to form a prominent border. The calyx is that of § Brissonia.

DOUBTFUL SPECIES.

D. SUBCARNOSUS, JW. § A. Prodr. 249, is a plant from the Western Peninsula,
of which the flower is unknown and of which the place is therefore doubtful. It has
small ovate acute entire leaflets, many-flowered distinctly-peduncled racemes, and a
narrow linear nearly straight glabrous many-seeded pod 3-4 in. long. .

D. susmevauis, Grah. in. Wall. Cat. 5539, is another doubtful plant, of which
the flower is unknown, gathered by Wallich in Ava, which has been referred through
Some confusion to Psophocarpus palustris, from which it totally differs. It has slender
terete woody Subereet stems, with short deflexed deciduous grey pubescence, caduc-
ous stipules, membranous stipellate leaflets with a few adpressed bristly hairs on both
sides, the end one oblong subobtuse or cuspidate 4-5 in. long, many-flowered short-

The Indian species of Parinarium are very imperfectly known and are probably
referable to several genera distinguishable by their fruit more than by any floral
character. Of these, P. costatum, polyncurum, oblongifolium and multiflorum, may
form one genus with a 2-celled 2-seeded drupaceons fruit and short stamens.
P. nitidum another, with 1-celled hardly drupaceous coriaceous fruit and short
stamens; and P. asperulum a third, with a globose l-celled very hard drupe,
glabrous, containing a solitary large glabrous seed with a solid ruminated em-
bryo. The seeds of P. indicum and travancoricum are unknown. P. _Tackianum,

specimens have the leaves rugose above and thin, and the branches and inflorescence
densely clothed with firm buff cottony tomentum. This is also the case with the
Ceylon specimens, of which Thwaites distinguishes 4 varieties :—a. bracts ovate
entire or cut at the tip, fruit small red (Wight. Ic. t. 225); 8. leaves smaller
narrower more acute, stipules and bracts cut into filiform segments, petals small,
fruit dark red (R. micropetalus, Gard.); (I should refer this to glomeratus, Bl.);
y. tomentose, pale, leaves very rugose and coriaceous, stipules and bracts less deeply
cut, panicle dense, calyx-lobes ovate-lanceolate toothed, fruit dark red (R. Fair-
holmianus, Gard.) ; 8. prickles short, stipules and bracts less cut, panicles few-flowered,

This I expect will prove another form of R. moluccanus from a higher region,
the leaves of the Kumaon and Sikkim specimens are large broad and rather thin in
texture ; Wallich’s Nepal ones are more coriaceous, narrower and elongate with many
lateral lobes, more like those of R. paniculatus, to which Wallich says it is ‘ valde

I cannot doubt this being an extreme form of R. lasiocarpus, readily distinguish-
able by the copious glandular bristles and hairs, the usually densely tomentose
branches, corymbs, petioles, &c., and the prickly calyx and large petals; the leaflets
too are usually broader, very coriaceous, glabrous above or with sometimes copious
almost woolly hairs. In Hohenacker’s specimens however the branchlets and
petioles are nearly glabrous, and in all the branches are beautifully pruinose. The
sepals are caudate and quite entire. Wight’s Pulney mountain specimens have the
leaflets more membranous, almost glabrous beneath except along the nerves, like var.
subglaber of R. lasiocarpa. I have seen no authentic specimen of Roxburgh’s plant
(which Kurz (Andaman Report) refers to lasiocarpus) and refer the above to 1t as
the only Peninsular species according with his description.

Except by its usually prostrate habit and much smaller size, I do not think that
this is distinguishable from R. lasiocarpus. In Wallich's specimens the leaflets are
4 in. long, lateral orbicular cuneate, terminal lobed, are very pubescent above an
white beneath, but in Thomson’s and others they become more ovate glabrous above
and almost silky beneath or even glabrous except along the nerves as in varieties 0
lasiocarpus. The flowers are numerous, about 3 in. diam., with pink petals equalling
the calyx-lobes; and the fruit is very small, white and villous. Don, misled by 2
specimen of R. biflorus sent under the same name by Wallich (and fastened on tne
same sheet in Herb. Linn. Soc.), describes the peduncles as 3-flowered. Maximovic4

I am quite unable to identify the Indian strawberries by means of the charac
given by authors to the European species, which differ in their several works. F. awe
is defined by Boissier (Fl. Orient.) as having the petioles with spreading hairs, an »
peduncles with spreading or appressed ones; Ledebour (Fl. Ross,) describes the ‘the
of its peduncles as appressed, and Decaisne (Jardin fruitier) as spreading, ‘ed in
common Himalayan Fragaria the hairs of both petals and peduncles are appress
some forms, in others those of the petiole are spreading and of the peduncle appre !
and in still others both petiole and peduncle have spreading hairs. As the spec a
with most appressed hairs appear from dried specimens to have spreading calyx- H J
I have referred them to R. vesca as var. nubigena. I must remark however that d.
Gay, who was the greatest living authority on Fragaria, and to whom I sent a i p
of specimens, has regarded most of them as F. collina, but evidently with doubt ; i
Simla and a Kashmir specimen he tickets F. collina ?and then crosses out the Dat
of interrogation, and a Kishtwar specimen he tickets first elatior? and then atre
name out substituting collina ? and finally crosses out the mark of interrogation: of ot.
marked collina by Gay ; some have appressed, others spreading hairs on both ped A
cle and petiole. The Sikkim specimens, again, which I describe above as var. p
cola, are marked F. vesca without a doubt by M. Gay. This slender silvery os on
occurs throughout the temperate Himalaya; it has often small accessory pinnu
the petiole far below the tip and toothed or entire calyx-lobes.

This will probably prove to be another form of F. vesca, and I find an ore of it
to it amongst the Himalayan specimens of that plant; and there are specimer’ hasis
marked as from Sikkim in Griffiths collection, but they are probably from oreet;
and mislabelled. Gay who elaborately describes it says that the calyx-lobes Gs does
this they seem to be in dried specimens, but Wight’s excellent figure (which ir tint,
not refer to) shows them to be spreading. The fruit is white with a pale hiris but
and not worth eating; it is globose and inclined to be conoidal in the Nilghins,
a very depressed sphere in Khasia.

11. POTENTILLA, Linn. Cinquefoil.

Perennial herbs, rarely shrubs. Leaves compound; stipules adnate to the

as Many, sometimes narrow. Stamens many, rarely few and definite. Disk
annular or coating the calyx-tube. Carpels many, rarely 1 or few, on a small

receptacle ; style persistent or deciduous, ventral or terminal; ovule 1, pen-
ulous, Achenes many, on a dry receptacle.—DıstRIB. N. temp., Arctic, and
mountain regions, very few are found in the south ; species 120.

The species of Potentilla are very difficult of discrimination, being chiefly mountain
plants varying in habit and stature with elevation, much as Ranunculido. I have no
doubt that several here regarded as peculiar, will prove forms of more western ones,
and those again of one wide spread European, Asiatic, and American plant. Lehman's

Revisio Potentillarum " is of little scientific value, and the 200 species it enumerates
ère reducible by at least one-third. Boissier in his “ Flora Orientalis " has done ex-
cellent work. "The character of the calyx and petals are excessively variable, and
that of the terminal and ventral style is not so good as might be supposed, the outer
earpels often differing somewhat from the inner in this respect. Smooth and wrinkled
achenes are not always definite characters. I am inclined to think that the structure
of the stigma is useful as a guide to the affinities of the species, but I hesitate to
‘ntroduce it without a stud y of the whole genus.

Very similar to P. diandrum in stature, habit. foliage, &c., but leaflets with fewer
teeth, petiole and midrib of leaflets underneath with flexuous hairs ; bracteoles orbi-
cular, clawed, ciliate ; calyx segments slightly hairy or scabrid on the back; fruit
īm., trapezoid, with short wings and a bony endocarp. The flowers are probably
lygamous ; I find 12 imperfect ones in one bud, and fewer perfect, but my mate-

seen is Sir J. McKenzie's (in Herb. Benth.). Gardner described it from some found
by Mr. Alwis. Dr. Thwaites says that he has searched for it in vain. Like Agri-

I canno, distinguish R. involucrata from R. Lyellii. It is the common rose of the

engal plains and foot of the Himalaya and the only really tropical species of India.
Lindley’s varieties burmana, parvifolia, glabra, and acutifolia (in Wall. Herb.) explain
themselves, Wallich’s specimen of involucrata var. glabra is stated to come from

e mountains of Pundua on the confines of Sylhet, 7. e. the Khasia Mts., which I
greatly doubt, for I found it in the Jheels only of Sylhet; and Blinkworth S. habitat
of the Alps of Sirinuggur probably applies to the Dheyra dhoon. Wallich who pro-
cured R, Lyellii in N ipal describes it as a large climber in woods, possibly confounding
itwith R, moschata. Crepin hazards the conjecture that Lyeltii is a hybrid between
tnvolucrata and moschata, and regards it as a very doubtful plant, under which cir-
rumstances I have retained Roxburgh’s name of involucrata, which first appeared in

19. ERIOBOTREYA, Lindl.

Small or large trees. Leaves simple, entire or serrate, very coriaceous;
stipules lanceolate or broad. Flowers in thyrsoid panicles, white. Calyz-
tube turbinate obconic or clavate; lobes small, erect or spreading, persistent.
Petals 5, contorted or imbricate in bud, obovate or orbicular, usually ob-
lique and notched, margins sinuate, claw glabrous or woolly. Ovary 2-5-celled ;
styles 5, connate and woolly below ; ovules 2 in each cell, basal, ascending, pla-
centa sometimes cupuliform. Fruit a succulent or dry rarely 1—2-celled berry;
endocarp membranous, l- rarely 2-3-seeded. Seeds large, ovoid and cylindric or
flattened on one side, testa hard coriaceous and mucilaginous ; cotyledons very
thick.—Distr1B. Himalaya, Malay Peninsula, China, Japan.

I cannot distinguish Eriobotrya from Photinia, except by the inflorescence ; all the
other characters given by Decaisne break down amongst the species enumerate
under it; thus the petals are contorted in all but elliptica and japonica, and their
claws are glabrous in several ; the styles are only two in all but the above, and s
other, which has 3 styles; the crown of the ovary is glabrous in F. dubia, and 4
not find the calyptriform process of the placenta in any but japonica; but I have no
examined all for this character, and it is one difficult to detect in dry specimens.

I have great difficulty in distinguishing this from P. Notoniana (in the Khasia
Mts, especially), its best character is the very short petiole and uniformly oblanceolate
Smaller leaves 3-5 in. long. In the Himalaya it is very constant in its characters,
but in the Khasia Mts. it comes very near small states of Notoniana, var. macrophylla,
Hence though no foliage of allied plants can be more unlike in form than the ordinary
states of this plant present, I am in doubt as to their specific differences. P. integri- `
folia, Miquel (Fl. Ind. Bat. i. part i. 387), from Java, appears to be the same plant.

Herbs, mostly small perennials. Radical leaves often rosulate ; stem leaves
alternate (in Sect. Porphyrion subopposite), exstipulate, petiole sheathing at base.
Flowers corymbose or paniculate or reduced to 3-1; white or yellow, rarely red.
Calyx adnate to the ovary at base (rarely free) 5-fid, imbricate. Petals 5, peri-

ynous, Stamens 10 (rarely 5) perigynous. ^ Carpels 2 (very rarely 3-5) united

The seeds of Hydrangea are described by many authors, as by the accurate Maxi-
mowicz, as alate. The seed in its inner coat is a perfectly smooth ellipsoid ; the,
outer coat is a loose long cylindric sack, in the middle of which the nucleus lies ; as the
seed ripens the empty ends of the sack wither and contract whence results a seed
‘tailed at each end.’

Leaves in the Indian examples sometimes whorled, more commonly in tufts of 1-3,
each tuft placed irregularly round the stem. The Australian M. variefolium has the
leaves usually whorled ; but the whorls get broken and the Australian examples be-
come thus exactly like the Indian; the fruit is altogether the same.—The correct
name of this plant is open to much question. De Candolle's is the oldest, but the
accompanying description was drawn up to fit Hottonia sessiliflora, Vahl Symb. a
36 which probably was something altogether different; then a Myriophyllum is dis-
covered in India which De Candolle's description very fairly fits, and Hohenacker
and others apply it to the Candollean name.

t is remarkable that not one specimen of this typical belerica Roxb. exists at
ew; and that both W. & A. (Prodr. 313) and Brandis (Forest Fl. 222) expressly
state that they have never been able to discover a single example. The distinetion
"tween it and Roxburgh's eglandulosa (moluccana, Willd. in Fl. Ind.) is indeed
trivial ; but the absence of the glands seems without exception n the Indian so-called
erica ; while Roxburgh founded his delerica on the single character that it had
two glands, thereby differing from his T. eglandulosa, which he subsequently renamed
` moluccana, Willd., a species made up of two trees.

It is evidently allied to C. tetralophum; the leaves on Mr. Kurz specimen are
very unlike those of C. tetralophum, but in many Combretums while the typical leaves
are acute lanceolate there may be found on the same shrub lower branches with obtuse
obovate leaves. Kurz however says that the calyx-tube in C. tetragonocarpum is
“short oval," whereas in C. tetralophum it is “elongate nearly filiform,” so that the
two species must be distinct. He has placed this species in his section with 10 sta-
mens and -merous flowers: this it is presumed isa slip.

grooved or fluted (at least in the dried specimens), teeth erect short triangular. Petals
narrow, small. Disc and base of calyx-tube with short hair or nearly glabrous. Fruit

others, in the hermaphrodite flowers before the calyx expands a very small hole
appears at the top through which the style is long protruded ; subsequently the calyx
Opens and the stamens are long extruded.

The examples of C. acuminatum, Roxb. at Kew are abundant, but the name C.
costatum Roxb. does not occur in the Kew Herbarium nor is the fruit described by
Roxb. It is clear that Mr. Kurz understands by C. costatum, Roxb. the plant named
C. acuminatum, Roxb. at Kew. It is almost certain that the two species of Roxburgh
are but one. The two names are of one date, and in this list the name taken up by
Wallich and subsequent Indian botanists is preferred to the name taken up by Mr.
Kurz, especially as there is no doubt at all what Roxburgh’s C. acuminatum was,
while a doubt may be still raised about his C. costatum.

The following are the principal varieties of this Species, concerning which Mr.

ntham remarks (Fl. Austral. iij. 142):—*' This species, very widely spread and
abundant in the Indian Archipelago and Malayan Peninsula, varies exceedingly in the
size, shape and texture of the leaves, in the young shoots very silky-villous or woolly,
or the whole quite glabrous; in the short and dense or long and interrupted spikes;
In the size of the flowers ; in the greenish-yellow, whitish, pink or purple stamens, etc.,
and at first sight it is difficult to believe that they all can be forms of one species ; but
9n examination none of these variations are sufficiently constant or so combined as to
allow of distinct races."

, Miquel (Fl. Ind. Bat. 1. c.) describes M. Cumingiana as specifically distinct, distin-
Euishing it from M. lancifolia by the absence of auricles to the staminal bundles; the

Triana appears to have rejected the figure because it shows 5 petals ; the aecompany-
ing text states the calyx to be 4-5-fid. Now there are several instances of normally
4-fid Osbeckias having some or many 5-fid flowers; but there is no recorded instance
of a normally 5-fid Osbeckia producing 4-fid flowers. The Bot. Reg. t. 642 is an in:

clothed with hairs as to have a woolly appearance and texture. Bristles on the apex
of the ovary about 20. Fruit 2 by din. including the short neck, ovoid-oblong, densely
woolly.—Don’s description of O. stellata says the flowers are 4—5-fid ; as 5-fid flowers
are not known in our O. stellata but are frequent in our O. crinita, Don probably in-
cluded under one name both our species. Naudin’s descriptions of O. stellata and 0.
crinita only differ in assigning the long-necked fruit to O. stellata ; therefore Naudin's
O. stellata is our O. crinita. As Triana gives no descriptions or remarks, but quotes
both Wall. Cat. 4062 and Naudin’s O. stellata as one species, it cannot be guessed
which of the two forms Triana took as O. stellata. The real distinction between O.
crinita and O. stellata lies in the extreme thick woolliness of the covering of the
calyx-tube in our O. stellata : consequently Sir J. Smith has written on the original
Wall. Cat. 4062 (type spec.) “ Osbeckia ? nov. sp. (crinita).” Sir W. J. Hooker states

ot. Fl. 1. c.) that he changed the name from O. crinita to O. stellata and got Don
to accept the name O. stellata. Subsequently Mr. Bentham gave the name O. crinita
to the next species which has a less hairy calyx.

EXCLUDED SPECIES,

O. nvBRO-LIMBATA (Lachnopodium rubro-limbatum, Blume) is figured by Link
& Otto, Ie. Pl. Sel. t. 41, as a plant raised in European gardens from the “ East
Indies.” It is more likely from Malaya than India, and Mr. Bentham in FV. Austral.
ili. 292 thinks it probably identical with Otanthera bracteata.

by Triana ; but Naudin describes its calyx-teeth short.

lobes deciduous. Petals equal in number to the calyx-lobes. Stamens twice as
many as the petals, very unequal, alternate longer ones with purple anthers
having the connective long-produced at base and terminating in two lobes, the
shorter ones having yellow anthers the connective not produced but with two
tubercles in front. Ovary more or less united to the calyx-tube, 5- (rarely 6-7-)
celled, apex bearing bristles; style filiform, simple; ovules very numerous,

M. sanguineum and M. Houtteanum.

DOUBTFUL SPECIES.

As to the numerous species of Melastoma admitted by Triana in Trans. Linn.
Soc. xxviii. 59, 60 as native in India, the names M. triflorum, Naud. ; ellipticum,
Naud.; microphyllum, Naud.; lanuginosum, Blume; Royenii, Blume ; longifolium,
Naud. are not found in the Kew collection. So far indeed from multiplying species
out of the existing material, it would be better to reduce the whole of the Indian
forms to three, viz, M. malabathricum (including M. polyanthum and M. imbri-
catum); M. normale ; and M. sanguineum (including M. Houtteanum).

As to the 13 species of Melastoma described by Roxburgh, the first eight are
octandrous; the next two have been admitted; the last two are outside the limits of
the present Flora. ' :

M. Frxpravsown, Wall. Cat. 4041, has not the place of collection given, and it is
doubtful whether it was found within the limits of the Flora Indica. The Wallichian
example shows the leaves and fruit, which might be those of Osbeckia Leschenaultiana
above described ; but Triana (assuming probably that had the stamens been all similar
Wallich would have named it Osbeckia and not Melastoma) has called it Dissotis
Findlaysonii. .

raphe not exeurrent.— Wallich has distributed with Royle's S. tenera, a Tavoy plant,
S. stricta, and Royle has not detected the error, The pubescence of the stem as
given in the figure of Royle is very unlike nature. Triana has named Royle’s ori-

is only separated from S. rostrata and S. affinis by the anthers, which (as above
stated) are usually ;L-4 in. long in S. zeylanica while in S. affinis they are usually
$in. In those cases where the anthers of an authentic example of S. zeylanica are
actually longer than those of some examples of S. affinis, we endeavour to fall back
on the degree and nature of the attenuation of the anthers, which should be acute in
S. zeylanica, acuminate in S. affinis. The var. pumila is more distinct from S. zey-
lanica than are S. rostrata and S. affinis. Triana has placed Thwaites’ numbered

minal leaf solitary), large, petioled, orbicular, cordate, 7-9-nerved. Flowers in
3 peduncled dense head, purple. Calyx-tube campanulate, glabrous or with long
bristles near the top, teeth 4 (rarely 3), acute, long-setose. Petals 4 (rarely 3),
ovate, acute, glabrous. Stamens 8 (rarely 6), equal ; anthers elongate, scarcely
produced at the base, connective without appendage. Ovary adnate to the bot-
tom of the calyx-tube, 4- (rarely 3-) celled, glabrous at the apex ; style filiform ;
ovules very numerous, placentas large axile. Capsule broadly funnel-shaped,
opening by 4 valves at the top. Seeds ellipsoid, somewhat obovoid, with g an-

Leaves usually 4-9 in. diam., obtuse or acute, entire, usually red beneath; petiole
2-5 in., with long pendent coarse bristles or nearly glabrous. Bracts to the flower
head red, jin. wide and upwards. Calyax-teeth from short-ovate with a mucro to
Ovate-lanceolate attenuate. Capsule about 4 in., fruiting pedicel about } in.—Hel-
fer's No, 2266, in fruit, shows the capsule trigonous with smooth almost convex faces :
the other typical examples show the fruit 6-8-ribbed, the ribs prominent: inall these
the fruit is over-ripe and the wall partly broken down. Helfers plant may be a
new Species or even a new genus; but the leaves are exceedingly like the well-marked
leaves of Phyllagathis.

submarginal nerves, entire. Flowers large or small, in terminal sometimes
leafy panicles, purple or white, bracts large or small. —Calyz-tube campanulate-
cylindric, densely stellate-tomentose pubescent or glabrous; limb obscurely
4-lobed, more rarely distinctly 4-toothed, persistent. Petals 4. Stamens 8, un-
equal 4 shorter sometimes wanting, connective of the 4 longer with 2 long
bristles in front at the base (in all the Indian species). Ovary adnate to the

Panicle consisting of axillary cymes (exactly resembling that of Marumia reticulata) ;
bracts $ in., oblong, caducous ; pedicels less than ł} in. Fruit (not ripe) ellipsoid,
calyx-mouth enlarged, teeth somewhat rounded.—The stem of this plant has rings
at the nodes as in Marumia: its natural affinity seems altogether with Marumia
reticulata and M. nemorosa: it recedes from M. reticulata only by the absence of the
long bristles on the calyx-tube so common in Marumia ; from M. nemorosa it recedes
by the quasi-paniculate inflorescence and the absence of any twisted hairs at the base
of the connective other than the two long bristles in front.

Var. 2. Helferi; branchlets quadrangular, berries } in. diam.—Tenasserim or An-
damans; Helfer (Kew Distrib. No. 2334).—This has been placed with M. angusti-
folium because of its narrow leaves, which are, however, more obtuse and less petioled
than those of M. angustifolium. If not placed here, it must form an additional
species near M. varians No. 12.

Two branchlets with detached leaves and fruits collected by Dr. T. Anderson at

only ground for supposing that the species has been collected within the limits of the

Also, Turczaninow’s description is not correct as to the absolute glabrousness of the
species. The sepals and tips of the branchlets of Lobb No. 468 are minutely pubes-
cent; and the examples of C. angustata, Teys. & Binn. (see Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. pt. 1.

from C. glomerata so much as C. glomerata if cultivated at Singapore might be ex-

cent at the base, above sometimes densely aureo-pubesceat sometimes glabrous,— This
species is to be separated from C. glomerata by the pedicel glabrous above its articu-

leaves and the calyx pubescent at its base. As to the Wallichian Number quoted :
in the large paper type, Wall. Cat. 7195, A and one sheet of B is C. graveolens ; the
other part of B does not belong to the genus. The Burmese plant is distributed by
Mr. Kurz under the name C. Hamiltoni, Wall. correctly: but in Journ. As. Soc. anc
For. Fl. he has changed the name to C. Canziala, Wall. (see 10. C. tomentosa.) Now

A shrub, or tree attaining 25 ft.; branchlets tomentose pubescent or nearly gla-
brous. Leaves 4 by 1} in., tomentose beneath or pubescent or only slightly hairy
about the base of the midrib, rarely so closely serrate as in Wight Ic. t. 1849, often
nearly entire; petiole variable from 4—2 to 6 in. in Central India examples. Pedicels
usually numerous, less than 4 in.; buds usually hairy, sometimes nearly glabrous.
Staminal tube short, stamens 7-10 (sometimes 12 Benth.). Seeds in red pulp.—The
‘typical C. tomentosa of North-West India has softly villous oblong nearly entire leaves ;
the South Indian examples (var. elliptica) have the leaves more glabrous, more crenate-
serrate and more narrowed at base. With these the Malayan examples agree. As to
C. Canziala, Wall, Cat. 7192 stated by Wall. to be equivalent to C. ovata Roxb. the
numerous examples of Wight and Wallich have the pedicels buds and leaves beneath
villous and if it is separable as a species it is certainly not C. graveolens. Will-
denow says his C. elliptica has glabrous leaves and Roxburgh says his C. glabra has
glabrous leaves; so that these synonyms as known only from description must be
excluded. But it is very probable that they relate to the nearly glabrous form C.
Dallachii (see Benth. Fl. Austral. iii. 309).

of the others; and the pubescence of the leaves beneath differs from all except that
of C. grewiefolia. A Casearia collected by Griffith in fruit in Assam may be this,
but the pedicels are shorter, and some of the leaves rounded at the base, approaching

usually glabrous or less commonly scabrous on the nerves, often with several large
glands near the apex of the petiole, cordate at the base; segments dentate, serrate,
divaricate, sometimes subpinnatifid (var. incisa Heyne), usually acute (but obtuse in
var. sinuata, Heyne); petiole 1-3 in. — Tendrils commonly 3-fid. Male peduncles
usually paired, the racemed one 6 in., naked below ; bracts ovate or obovate, glabrous
or viscid with scattered glands or pubescent. Calyx-tube 1} in., closely tomentose or
glabrous; sometimes much larger in the Sikkim examples; teeth long-lanceolate,
Sometimes dentate serrate or subpinnatifid. Fruit 11-2 in. diam., not acute, bright

nearly to the base, the segments scarcely } in. wide and sometimes subpinnatifid ;
and var. Thomsoni from Moradabad with the leaves entire and slightly 5-angular : in
both the leaves are coriaceous and with their petioles more or less covered with
Scattered round white minute flat scales. The Himalayan specimens recede further
by their large subsucculent flaccid leaves and very large flowers.

Very near Z. Baueriana and possibly not distinct: but the ovary is globose even
before the expansion of the flower. The leaves are also generally asperous above and
sometimes much more hairy beneath than in any undoubted examples of Z. Bauer-

distinct from B. velutina “a scapigerous herb with leaves pilose above:” but A.
DC.’s type of B. parvuliflora (marked by him B. Lobbiana) has the leaves decidedly
pilose above and the stems not more caulescent than some of Parish's B. velutina.
The only difference between the two is that in B. velutina the leaves are often
beautifully variegated and doubly serrated; but not always Parish's specimens.

its birth-place ; it is marked “ Ceylon," but not on an original ticket, and there is no
Colletor's name. Its aspect is Alpine Himalayan, not at all Cinghalese. There is
another small specimen collected by T. Lobb in Mysore that seems the same thing.

Pound ; rays numerous; bracts many, linear or pinnatifid, or few, small, or 0;

teoles numerous, linear, serrate or pinnatifid, sometimes few small.
Calyx-teeth obsolete, or lanceolate or linear. Petals obovate, emarginate,
white or yellowish-green. Fruit ovoid or subquadrate, commissure broad,
more or less dorsally compressed or complanate ; lateral primary ridges
winged, corky or papery, dorsal and intermediate ridges approximate, equal or
unequal, as wide as the lateral or not, sometimes excurrent, not winged ; dorsal
furrows 1-vittate (or rarely 1 large deep-seated 2 small lateral superficial) or 0,
lateral furrows 1-4 vittate; carpophore slender, 2-partite; style-bases not prv-
minent in fruit. Seed subterete, or more or less dorsally compressed, inner
face plane or slightly concave, not grooved.—DrsrRrs. Species 35, chiefly north
temperate, with a South African and Andean.

The Indian species are uniform in habit, having very compound leaves, large
umbels with prominent involucres, three approximated ridges excurrent on the back
of each carpel, and the seed not grooved on the inner face. Ligusticum differs by
having the dorsal furrows 3-vittate. S. tenuifolium has the three dorsal ridges not
€xcurrent, often subobsolete, and is therefore hardly different from Angelica. Pim-
Pinella sikkimensis (p. 685) was referred to Selinum by Bentham.

Herbarium specimens are largely mixed with fruits of S. elatum: and Edgeworth’s
descriptions of the fruit and bracteoles seem taken from these: the true plant has
very large compound bracteoles, and the above description of the fruit is of ripe ones
attached to unmistakable leaves. Mr. Bentham has referred it to Ligusticum, from
the leaves approaching the Indian Ligusticums and the obsolete vitte; but the com-
pound bracteoles and long calyx-teeth refer it to Selinum.

example is in young flower only. It is said to differ by the upper branches and leaves
being opposite and whorled: but this is occasionally seen in many species of Plew-
rospermum. P. dentatum, in the absence of fruit, is very difficult to distinguish from
P. angelicoides ; but the leaves and leaflets are generally smaller, the bracteoles a
ceolate (rather than narrow-lanceolate) and slightly crenulate or serrulate. In de-
fining the area of the species; all Sir J. D. Hooker's examples distributed as P. ange-
licoides have been referred to P. dentatum ; though the leaflets are large, the
is small, and the bracteoles distinctly serrulate. .

Whether it is the F. Asa-fetida founded by Linn:eus on the figure in Kempf. Amen.
p. 536, is a disputed point. That figure does not represent the numerous lateral
subsimple umbels arising from the sheaths of the cauline leaves which characterise
this, but this character varies so in F. Jaeschkeana (No. 3) that it is impossible to rely
upon it. The fragments of Kempfer’s plant preserved in the British Museum do not
suffice to determine the point. T. Thomsoni (No. 2) has the subsimple umbels [n

bearing nearly simple umbels also proceed from the large sheaths of the cal
leaves. Fruit much larger and thicker than in F. Narthex, vitte much the largest 0

This may be a different species but contains only very immature fruit. The upper
leaves are lobed, not divided, more hairy than in the type, and the bracteoles are
much more prominent. Bentham (Gen. Pl. i. 922) referred H. diversifoliwm to
Peucedanum : but is not now certain to which of the many plants mixed under the
name H. diversifolium he referred. H. Wallichii is a typical Heracleum, with the
vitte hardly half as long as the mericarp.

A shrub or small tree; branches angular; spines short, broad-based, stout, often
deflexed. Leaves of 3-5 leaflets; petiole 1-2 in., often bearing one or more prickles;

leaflets 2 by 3-1 in., subacute, denticulate or serrate, sometimes with a few stiff

bristles on the nerves beneath; petiolules usually distinct, }-} in. Umbels often
solitary; pedicels numerous, 3-1 in. Fruit tin. long and broad ; styles persistent,
recurved, united for half their length.—Seemann has marked some of the Kew
examples A. sepium, others A. aculeatum, between which no difference can, be dis-
covered, and his diagnosis of A. sepium applies to the examples he has marked 4.
aculeatum. It is very doubtful whether Panax spinosum, Linn. f. (Acanthopanat;
piia.) specifically differs: the leaflets in this seem quite sessile and the prickles are
ess deflexed.

Province, alt. 2000-4000 ft.; Thwaites.—According to Mr. Thwaites a closely allied
but distinct species. The peduncles, calyx-tube, and petals are much less woolly
than in 4. Lamarckii; these and the tender surfaces of the leaves are not (in
Thwaites’ No. 381) glandular, but covered with most minute glistening hairs, giving
under a common lens a glandular appearance. A. glandulosum thus has much shorter
hairs than the ordinary forms of A. Lamarckii, while some examples of A. Lamarckti
have the under surface of the leaves glabrous or very nearly so.

the base, denticulate or serrate ; petiole 3-1 in. Panicles 3 in. diam., terminal on
very short lateral branches. Fruit 4 by } in., smooth, shining, variable in colour,
orange yellow or scarlet.— Yokohama specimens, named 4. longifolia in Herb. Hook.,
are identical with the Indian. A. Japonica differs by having rather broader less acu-
minate leaves and less hairy panieles. The increase of material renders more probable
the suggestion made by Sir J. Hooker /. c. that there is but one and that a very vari-
able species of Aucuba.

6. NYSSA, Linn.

Trees (or shrubs), innovations silky. Leaves alternate, petioled, entire.
Flowers capitate, on axillary peduncles, polygamo-dicecious, 1 or few females
and many males in a head, each 3-4-bracteolate, or the males irregularly coa-
lescing. ` MALE : calyx short, cup-shaped, 5-7-toothed ; petals 5-7, im i
cate, hairy ; stamens usually 10 (in the Indian species) around a large cirou ar
disc; rudiment of the ovary 0 or small. FEMALE: calyx-tube campanu tes
limb 5-toothed ; petals 0 or minute; no rudiments of stamens ; ovary 1-celled ;
style cylindric, simple or shortly 2-fid ; ovule solitary, pendulous. Berry oblong
