Stems low, 1-2 ft., as thick as a goose-quill, simple or branched, ascending, d 
ing at the base. Leaves thickly coriaceous, green or blotched with white or hes 
or all purple. Panicle often lying flat on the uppermost leaves, subsessile, wees to 
slender curved; bracteoles ovate, scarious. Flower 2 in. long, slender, 6-cle he 
the middle, white purple or greenish; filament white. Berries orange red.— tic 
short rather slender petioles of this and the following species are very characteris ep 
of upper leaves at any rate; but I collected in the Khasia the lower WI 
leaves of what I supposed was the same species 12-14 by 2-3 in., oblanceolate, lis 
rowed into a long broad petiole.— There may be more than one species UD er 
name. Roxburgh's drawing of atropurpurea represents the panicle as erect.

Perhaps, as Baker supposed, a small state of D. elliptica, the petiolation 
leaves being of the same character ; if so, it is a mountain form of that plant.
