/ 



3-6, \ in., lanceolate or linear, sometimes obtuse. Dorsal ridges distinct, shortly ex- 

 current, wing broad with a minute marginal vitta; dorsal vittse produced nearly to 

 the base; commissural 6-8. — Very near H, rigens var. ligusticifolium which has the 

 leaves sometimes nearly glabrous, but the leaves are less serrate, and the vittae are 

 usually 2-3 in the lateral furrows.

 pinnatifid, lobes oblong hairy above villous beneatli, fruit as in H. iigem. H. 

 Sprengelianum, Thwaites Enum. 131, not of W. ^ A. • ' 



Ceylon; Walker, Gardner, Wight, Thwaifes (No. lib partly). 



Pinm of the lower leaves 1-2 by i-| in., sharply closely serrate or crenate. 

 Outer /ow^5 of the umbel somewhat radiant, with lanceolate acute calyx-teeth. Fruit 

 \-\ by \ in.,obovate, totally unlike that of H. Sprengelianum W. & A., but altogether 

 that of K rigens from which this differs only in the cutting of the leaves, which is uni- 

 form in the numerous examples.

Stem 2-4 ft., more or less hispid. Tertiary pinna of the lower leaves often 

 1-2 in,, ovate, deeply 3-lobed, serrate; upper leaves much reduced, uppermost often 

 to sheaths. Bracts 3-5, ^^ in., obh)ng, obtuse, or 0; rays 5-10, 1-2,^^'

 almost certainly dilate and will then be unlike that of //. concanense.
