Wallich, westwards to Murree, Fleming.—Di1sTRrIB. Affghanistan. 
A small shrub; branches slender, Leares 1-2 in., pale when dry, nerves very 
slender; petiole 1—2 in. Flowers 3 in. diam.; pedicels capillary, 4-14 in. Calys 
enlarged in fruit, acute. Fruit X in. diam., depressed globose. Seeds broadly trigonous 
dorsally rounded. — The leaves are very variable, rarely cordate, and I suspect that it 
may prove a form of A. chinensis, Bunge.—There is no No. 7929 in Wallich’s printe

tetrandrus).
