Shan hills at 4000 feet. 
In general appearance this resembles the common H. rotundi- 
folia, but the usually compound infloreseenee and the very small 
ribless fruit with a very broad commissure at once distinguish it.

There may be more than one species among the specimens 
here referred to H. venulosum. To vne form, indeed, Dr. Watt 
has given a manuscript name, but the material is insufficient to 
enable us to come to a decision respecting its claim to specific 
rank.
