TROPICAL HIMALAYA, from Chamba, Thomson, eastwards, ascending to 5500 ft. 
in Kumaon and 7000 in Sikkim. Assam, the KHASIA HiLLs, alt. 1-5000 ft., CACHAR 
and the JHEEEs, BEHAR, on Parusnath, alt. 3000 ft., Clarke. NICOBAR ISLANDS 
(Kurz).—DrsTRIB. China, Malay Islands, Australia, 
Stem 6 in. to 3 ft., often branched, slender and decumbent or subscandent. Lares 
usually membranous, 3-nerved, with rarely a short extra basal pair; stipules broad, 
shortly acuminate, Fruit very variable in size and breadth, dull black when ripe, 
with strong ribs ; achene black or white, shining.—I can find no character whereby 
to separate the common N. Indian P. quinguenervis from the Malayan P. hirta, 
except in that winged fruits occur here and there in specimens of the former, but 
never in the latter. On the other hand, winged fruits precisely like those of the 
Indian oceur in a tropical Australian plant referred by Bevtham, rightly I think, to 
P. quinguenervis, from which it differs only in a more rebust habit. I have seen no 
specimens of P. hirta from the Deccan proper, though it may occur in Canara, as it 
does in Beher, which is the northern limit of the Deccan Flora. P. Bennettiana, 
the ratifolia, is very like states of it, except that it has transparent veined wings of 
e fruit.

12. P. integrifolia, Dalz. in Hook. Journ. Bot. ii. (1851) 134; nearly 
glabrous or sparsely hairy, stem slender compressed, leaves 2-5 in. opposite 
and ternately whorled sessile membranous triangular-lanceolate from a 
road usually cordate subamplexicaul base 3-nerved, stamens 3-4, fruit 
costate or with 2-3 membranous wings. Wight Ic. t. 2979; Dalz. § Gibs.

Somewhat shrubby, 3-4 ft., root thick (Dalzell). Stem with 2 lines of hairs. 
eaves very thin, apparently flaccid when fresh, very sparsely hairy above, ciliate, 
harrowed from just above the sometimes 5-nerved base to the tip, young more bairy ; 
Stipules short, broad. Male sepals ciliate at the flexure.— The membranous leaves of 
an elongate triangular shape with sessile truncate or cordate bases are the best 
characters for this plant. Ritchies and Law’s specimens have smaller harsher 
aves sometimes ovate or oblong with rounded bases, passing into P. Bennettiana, 
var, ovalifolia. . . 
This is probably another form of P. Wight. I have seen no winged fruits, only 
a lanceolate black acutely ribbed achene. 
13. P parvifolia, Wight Ie. t. 2092, f. 1; procumbent, diffusely 
ranched and rooting, stem very slender, leaves 4—ġ 1n. opposite subsessile 
«, ptic or ovate acute or acuminate more or less strigosely hairy 3-nerved,
