This plant is recorded as Chinese, and there are cultivated 

 specimens in the Kew Herbarium which were raised from Chinese 

 seed ; but we have seen no wild specimens, and Clarke, loc. cit., 

 gives no localities for it in India. He suggests that it is a culti- 

 vated race of T. cucumerina, Linn., differing only in the fruit.

Almost all of the specimens cited above are referred to this 

 species by Cogniaux, whom we have followed, though we do not 

 feel quite satisfied that they all belong to one species. The 

 Hongkong specimen attributed to Forbes, but actually collected 

 by Ford, has the leaves quite glabrous and naked on both surfaces. 

 Oldham's 133, from Tamsui, Formosa, we should have taken 

 for this species, but the seeds do not agree with Cogniaux's de-
