31 UVARIA CERASOIDES. 
This is a large tree, a native of the mountainous inland parts 
of the Circars; does not cast its leaves; flowers during the hot 
season. 
The wood of this species is employed for many purposes by the 
natives ; Europeans do not know it. The berries are eaten by the 
natives when ripe, and are pretty good, but rather too astringent. 
34. UVARIA SUBEROSA. 
Chilcka duduga of the Telingas. 
Trunk remarkably straight. Bark scabrous, very deeply split in 
various directions. 
Branches horizontal, two-faced. 
Leaves alternate, two-faced, short-petioled, oblong, waved, both 
sides smooth, deep-shining green; from two to three inches 
long, and about one and one and a half broad. 
Peduncles opposite (leaf-opposed), single, bowing, one-flowered. 
Calyx may be said to be six-leaved, and the Coro/ three-petaled, as 
only the interior three of the nine are coloured, coral-like. 
Stamens as in U. Cerasoides. 
Berries numerous, as in the former, only when ripe, black. 
Seed one, shape of the berry. 
This species is much more common than the former, though it 
seldom acquires the size of a tree, except among the mountains. It 
is in flower and fruit all the year, and does not cast its leaves. 
The wood of this species is more useful than that of the former ; 
“it is of a chocolate colour, durable, and very elastic.

Branches numerous, horizontal, forming a very large shady head.

downy, soft, entire; from two to three inches long, by one 
and two broad. 
Stipules none. 
Peduncles scattered, generally single, bowing, slender, woolly, half 
the length of the leaf, one-flowered. 
Calyx and Corol as in U. suberosa. 
Filaments numerous, very short, not club’d. 
Anthers oblong, twin. 
Germs as in the other, glutinous. 
Berries size of a large nutmeg, round, downy, pulpy, dark purple 
when ripe. .

A large tree, a native of the Circar mountains ; flowers during the 
hot season.

smooth, shining, firm, waved, entire, about three inches long, 
and one and a half broad. 
Peduncle generally leaf-opposed, very short ; from one to six-flowered. 
Flowers a dirty greenish rust-colour, short-pediceled. 
Calyx three-leaved, small. 
Corol six-petaled, four or five times larger than the calyx. 
Filaments very short. 
Anthers oblong, pointed. 
Germs from four to six. 
Berries from four to six, short pediceled, placed in form of a star 
round their receptacle for a common centre ; size ofa partridge’s 
egg, oval, smooth, pulpy, and, when ripe, of a bright yellow. 
Seed about six in each berry, kidney-form, nidulant. 
This is also a pretty large tree, and grows only among the moun-

It does not cast its 
37. ORCHIS PLANTAGINEA. 
Bulb perennial, generally single, undivided, egged, villous, size of 
a pigeon’s egg; a few fungous, villous fibres issue from the 
base of the scape, near its insertion into the top of the bulb.

long, narrow, pointed, recurvate. 
Horn nearly twice the length of the germ, perpendicular, or near- 
ly so. 
A native of moist valleys among the hills; flowering time the 
rainy season. 
38. LIMODORUM VIRENS. 
Bulbs many, connected near the base, conical, pointed, surrounded 
with the circular marks of the insertions of the leaves, greenish,
