Under I. racemosa їп Wallich's Herbarium there are at least three 
plants, viz., the I. leptoceras aud two others, which appear to differ 
chiefly in the racemes of one being interruptedly whorled, and of the 
other continuous: as Mr. Edgeworth has described the latter under the 
name of I. tingens, I have retained Wallich’s name for the former. 
The I. tingens, Edgeworth, appears to differ in no respect from this 
and from specimens marked I. racemosa in Wall. Herb., except in the 
flowers not being verticillate, and in the remarkable character of the 
posticous lobes of the lateral petals (ale) being included in the spur, 
which I cannot but regard as an anomalous character. The whorled 
Pedicels, numerous long erect racemes, small flowers and straight spur 
best distinguish racemosa. The var. y approaches very closely I. 
leptoceras, var. Ó ; y is distinguished only by the whorled inflorescence. 
81. I. Bicornuta (Wall. in Roxb. Flor. Ind. 11. 461, Cat. 4729 &

versus in cornu producto, calcare brevi recurvo, capsula cylindrica.
