98 XCVII. GENTIANACER. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Ezacum. 
Symb. iii. 15; Wall. Cat. 4359; Thwaites Enum. 203; Clarke in Journ. Linn.

' 836, E. sulcatum, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. i. 415; Griseb. in DC. 
Prodr. ix. 46, syn. excl, E. rivulare, Edgew. Catal. Pl. Banda, 51. 
Throughout Ixp1, ascending to 3000 ft., from Oudh and Bengal to Crytoy, 
Thwaites (C.P. 1876 in Herb. Kew), &c. 
Stem 3-12 in., quadrangular. Leaves 13 by kin. Peduncles j-l in. Calyz-lobes 
-l in. ovate, acuminate; wing distinct, lanceolate. Corolla-lobes 4-4 in., elliptic. 
Anthers 4 in., scarcely attenuate upwards, dehiscing finally halfway to the base. 
Capsule } in., subglobose.—Linnsus' species is founded on Pluk. Alm. Mant. t. 343, 
fig. 3, and Grisebach throws doubt on the identification by saying that Plukenet’s 
figure is bad ; but it seems unusually good and characteristic. 
12. E. pumilum, Griseb. in DC. Prodr. ix. 46; stem erect branched 
upwards, leaves sessile lanceolate 3-nerved, cymes lax, pedicels slender, corolla 
purple-blue, Wight Ic. t. 1824; Dalz. § Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 157; Clarke in 
Journ. Linn. Soc. xiv. 427. 
The Coxcax; Belgaum, Graham, Dalzell, &c. 
Closely allied to E. pedunculatum, but slenderer. Leaves usually narrower ; lower 
often l-nerved. Flowers less numerous; pedicels (many of them) j-1 in. Calyx- 
wings narrower, lanceolate, sometimes obsolete. Anthers dehiscing finally often to 
the base. 
13. B. sessile, Linn.; Griseb. Gentian. 113, and in DC. Prodr. ix. 47; 
leaves small sessile ovate, pedicels lateral and terminal very short cernuous, 
calyx-lobes ovate acute not winged, corolla white. Vahl Symb. iii. 16 ; Wight 
Ie, t. 1824, E. macrantherum, Miq. Pl. Hohenack. n. 582. 
Deccan Pexixsura ; Mangalore, Hohenacker. Cryton; common up to 2000 ft., 
Macrae, &c. 
Stem 4-8 in., erect, quadrangular, simple or corymbose upwards. Leaves 4 by H 
in, obscurely nerved, acute or subobtuse. Peduncles 0-4 in., axillary, 1-flowered ; 
terminal peduncle appearing sometimes 1 in., but then bearing a pair of small leaves 
near the flower. Calyx-lobes 45 in. herbaceous.  Corolla-lobes 4-4 in., elliptic. 
Anthers 3, in. Capsule à in., subglobose.—The examples marked E. macrantherum, 
Miq., are certainly E. sessile, Linn., but are mixed with E. pumilum, and the locality 
Mangalore is therefore not certain. 
14. E. Lawii, Clarke; leaves small sessile ovate, cyme few-fld. lax, 
pedicels mostly elongate, calyx-lobes ovate strongly nerved not winged, corolla 
purple-blue. `E. sessile, Clarke in Journ. Linn. Soc. xiv. 427, as to the Bombay 
examples. « 
The Coxcax and Marasan; Bababoodan hills, Law; Belgaum hills, Ritchie. 
Stem 3-6 in., erect, slender, quadrangular, simple or slightly branched upwards. 
Leaves $ in. long and broad. Peduncles terminal or subterminal, many of them 43 
in. without leaves or bracts. Caly.r-lobes 3-4 in., patent, much-nerved at flower-time 
Corolla-lobes 1-3 in., elliptic or round. Anthers j5 in. Capsule 3-2 in., ovoid.— 
Named E. sessile by all collectors, but the flowers are larger, and the inflorescence 
altogether different, l 
15. E. petiolare, Griseb. in DC. Prodr. ix. 46; leaves petioled elliptic 
or ovate mostly 5-nerved, peduncles erect, calyx-wings broad, corolla white or 
e blue. Wight Ic. t. 1324; Dalz. & Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 157 ; Clarke in Journ.
