large 5-8 by 1-1} in. petioled flaccid 3-5-nerved lanceolate from an acute rounded 
or cordate base scaberulous above, male sepals villous above the flexure.—Wight has 
named this Bennettiana in his Herb., but it is very different-looking from his other 
specimens so named, though clearly only a form of these. . k 
Var. Gardneri; sparsely pubescent, shrubby, prostrate or decumbent with dark- 
brown ascending branches and leaves above, leaves 2-5 in. opposite petioled ovate Te 
oblong acute or acuminate base acute or ronnded, stipules large acuminate brown, male 
sepals hispid above the flexure. P. Gardneri, Wight Ie. t. 2092, f. 3. P. Gardner

Nilghiri Hills, Wight (Kew. Distrib. 2695).—Wight describes the stem as erect 
and somewhat ramous, but in the numerous specimens they are obviously prostrate o 
decumbent. His Nilghiri specimens are unnamed. Thwaites mentions a form: ! 
leaves not exceeding 4 in. and closely resembling P. triandra. In habit, fo Wd 
colour, and the large stipules Gardneri is by far the most distinct form of Bennettiana, 
though both Weddell and Thwaites refer it to that species. Jeaves

Wight describes and figures the leaves as hairy, but the figure represents per with 
glabrous 3-nerved leaves of the natural size, and magnified portions of yn the 
bairy surface and 4 nerves in each, and which as the portions do not exten sung 
midrib would indicate a 9-nerved leaf. I find traces of bairs in the very J joi 
leaves, and cilia in the margin of some mature ones. I suspect it is only a 
growing in moist places.
