Rootstock slender, creeping. Stems 8-16 in., naked below. Leaves 1-14 by +- 
14 in., rarely linear or almost orbicular, obtuse or apiculate. —Uzibels rarely sessile ; 
pedicels capillary ; flowers dark purple, 4 in. diam. Anthers large for the size of the 
column ; pollen-masses pendulous. Stigma umbonate.

Stem 8-12 in. Leaves 1}-2 by 4-1 in., pubescent on both surfaces, base rounded. 
Peduncle strict, equalling the leaves, pedicels capillary. Corolla X in. diam., purple?, 
lobes caudate.  Follicles 14 in., poniard-shaped, pubescent.—The position of the 
pollen-masses I could not ascertain, owing to the imperfection of the specimens. 
3. T. fasciculata, Ham. in Wight Contrib. 50; Ic. t. 848; stem 
simple or branched glabrous below finely puberulous above, leaves petioled 
ovate or lanceolate acute glabrous, cymes peduncled umbelliform simple or 
compound, sepals lanceolate, corolla-lobes broadly ovate, coronal processes 
globose, follicles short turgid. Wall. Cat. 8204; Dene. in DC. Prodr. viii. 608;

Stems several from the root, 12-18 in., flexuous or climbing amongst grass. 
Leaves 1-2 by 3-14 in. coriaceous; petiole $-l in. . Peduncles slender; pedicels 
capillary. Coro Ux diam., fleshy in the Nepal specimens. Pollen-masses hori- 
zontal according to Wight, but I think erect. Follicles 13-2 by 3-2 in., ovoid-lanceo- 
late; pericarp very thick, glabrous. Seeds } in. long, broadly ovoid, quite flat.— 
Wight correctly observes that the corpuscles in this and the following are almost 
-partite. 
4. T. macrantha, Zook. f.; stem simple or branched finely pubescent, 
leaves petioled ovate acute glabrous, cymes peduncled simple or subcompound, 
sepals lanceolate, corolla-lobes ovate-lanceolate, coronal processes globose. T. 
fasciculata var. macrantha, Wight Contrib. 50; Dene. in DC. Prodr. viii. 
Nuouerry Mrs, Wight, &c. Prov, Col. Eyre (in Herb. Calcutt.) 
This has the habit and foliage of T. fasciculata, but the flowers are twice as large, 
and the corolla-lobes ovate-lanceolate. The Pegu specimens seem identical with the 
Nilgherry ones. Fruit unknown. 
5. T. Iphisia, Dene. in DC. Prodr. viii. 610; quite glabrous, stem 
branched flexuous, leaves petioled ovate or lanceolate acuminate, cymes branched, 
ovate, corolla subglobose, lobes ovate, coronal processes ovoid wholly 
ate to the base of large anthers. Deless. Ic. Sel. v. t. 82; Wight Ill. t.
