_ This is the common Deccan species, with upper leaves as Jarge as the lower (hence 
with all the flowers axillary), pentandrous flowers, and fruit with membranons wings. 
It includes all the varieties included by Weddell under his Memorialis hirta except 
Probably vars. ¢. and £., of which I have seen no authentic specimens. There is no 
Specimen of it in Wallich’s Herbarium, and it is not described by Bennett. . W e el 
has confounded it with Bennett’s P. hispida, which is a North Indian species P rit. 
tical with his quinquenervis), which differs in the thick opaque wings of the dr . 
In the absence of winged fruit I cannot distinguish forms of each, and as I ing no 
Winged fruits in the majority of North and Eastern India, nor in any of the Suma ran, 
avan, Chinese, and Philippine Island specimens, I prefer to regard all these as refera jle 
to hispida, with which they agree better in habit than they do with Bennet. iana. 
e following forms in their extreme states look very different; winged fruits are
