Vitis lanata, Roxb., var. glabra, Laws.; Fl. Brit. Ind. i. p. 651. 
—Shan hills plateau at 4000 feet. 
The typical form is very widely spread in India; and this 
variety, if variety it be, is recorded from Garhwal and the 
Khasia mountains; and it has more recently been collected in 
Muneypore by Dr. Watt, who, perhaps correctly, regards it as a 
distinct species. 
Vitis repens, Wight et Arnott; Fl. Brit. Ind. i. p. 646.— 
Shan hills at 4000 feet. 
` Very widely spread in tropical India and Malaya. 
Vitis heterophylla, Thunb.?; DO. Monogr. Phanerog. v. 2, 
p. 455, sub Ampelopside.—Shan hills at 5000 feet. 
This species is widely spread in China, Mongolia, Mandshuria, 
and Japan; and it is very variable in the shape of the leaves. 
Vitis (§ Tetrastigma) pycnantha, Coll. et Hemsl., n. sp. 
Frutex preter flores fere undique glaber, ramulis floriferis 
crassiusculis sulcatis vel striatis. Cirrhi simplices. Folia tri- 
foliolata, breviter petiolata (petiolus 3-6 lineas longus) ; foliola 
brevissime petiolulata, crassa, subcarnosa, inæqualia, obovato- 
oblonga, lateralia leviter obliqua, 2-33 poll. longa, apice rotun- 
data, basi cuneata vel plus minusve rotundata, remote obscureque 
calloso-crenata, venis primariis lateralibus utrinque 5-6 subtus 
inconspicuis. Flores minuti, densissime cymoso-glomerati, cymis 
axillaribus subsessilibus puberulis circiter 1 poll. diametro; petala 
hirsuta, persistentia, crassa, lata, apice cucullata; stigma alte 
4-lobatum, lobis arcte recurvis. Fructus ignotus. 
Yemethen. 
A very distinct species, exhibiting no close resemblance to any 
species with which we are acquainted. 
Vitis ($ Tetrastigma ?) megabotrya, Coll. et Hemsl., n. sp. 
Frutex alte scandens, glaber vel glabrescens, ramulis floriferis 
crassis ut in V. vinifera. Cirrhi non visi. Folia trifoliolata 
(unicum delapsum tantum visum) longe petiolata; foliola (iis 
V. lanceolarie et V. planicaulis simillima) breviter petiolulata, 
crassa, subearnosa, subequalia, oblongo-lanceolata, 7-9 poll. 
longa, obtusa, grosse calloso-crenata, venis primariis lateralibus 
utrinque 10-12 subtus leviter elevatis. Flores, ut videtur, 
dioici (d tantum visi) laxissime cymosi, simul brevissime pedi-
