156 c. BORAGINEZ. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Cynoglossum. 
Throughout Inpra and Crrton ; in the mountains, alt. 4-9000 ft., very common ; 
no examples from the Malay Peninsula.—Disrris. Cabul. 
Erect, 1-3 ft., no patent or lax hairs on the stem. Radical leaves larger, long- 
petioled, persistent at the time of flowering; cauline 4 by 1 in., acute, frequently 
subdecurrent, glabrous or very minutely but scarcely scabrous on the upper surface, 
nerves beneath often prominent. Lower pedicels often 3-1 in. —Calya-lobes ovate, in 
fruit often $ in. broadly oblong. Outer face of the nutlets à in., with no distinct 
medial line, with scattered glochidia often not much shorter than the marginal: 
carpophore linear, hardly conical at the base.— Generally distinguished correctly from 
the other elosely allied species of this subsection by its almost silky indumentum and 
tawny young racemes. C. ovatum, Moon, is a form common in the Nilgherries with 
shorter, ovate, thicker, more softly hairy leaves. 
Van. lanceolata; leaves thinner margin obscurely crenulate upper surface sub- 
scabrous with longer hairs rising from a more tuberculate base. C. lanceolata, 
Heyne; Wall. Cat. 921. C. Heynei, G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 354; DC. Prodr. x. 190. 
— Nilgherries, Anamallays, and Mts. of Ceylon, frequent.—Stem with subpatent hairs; 
cauline leaves narrowed at the base, sometimes obseurely petioled, margin minutely 
scabrous, in these respects approaching C. micranthum, but the fruit is altogether as 
of C. furcatum. 
2. C. micranthum, Desf. Cat. Hort. Par. 1804, 220, fide A. DC. Prodr. 
x. 149; patently hairy, upper cauline leaves lanceolate acute at both ends 
crenulate, racemes divaricately forked lower flowers subsessile, calyx-lobes 
minute ovate obtuse, outer faces of the small nutlets shortly ovate not (or most 
obscurely) margined glochidiate on all sides. Maxim. in Bull. Acad. Petersb.

Nortuern Ixp1A and the Hmataya, alt. 1-8000 ft., from Kashmir to Bhotan and 
Pegu, common. . 
Stem 1-4 feet, erect, hirsute. Radical /eaves none at the time of flowering; 
upper cauline 3 by j in. uppermost often very narrow, margin ciliate sometimes 
subdentieulate, upper surface scabrous with hairs from tuLberculate bases. Racemes 
rigid, often imbricate ; flowers very small, sessile in the typical form (lower pedi- 
celled in Wallich’s examples). Calyx-lobes d; in. in fruit, obtuse from the first. 
Corolla very small, white, the scales in the throat blue-black. Nutlets 35 10., ovoid, 
in the typical form, sometimes rather larger ; carpophore cylindric-linear; style often 
twice as long as the nutlets. 
3. C. lanceolatum, Forsk. Fl. Æg. 41, not of Heyne; hispid, leaves 
broadly lanceolate strongly nerved beneath, racemes often long with all the 
flowers pedicelled, nutlets } in. diam. shortly ovate not (or most obscurely) mat 
gined glochidiate on all sides. DC. Prodr. x. 155. C. racemosum, Roxb. Hort.

BexeaLr Paty, to the sea, common; extending throughout the GANGETIC Prais 
to Lanore. Bompay; Law.—lDisrRIB. Arabia. ; 
Raceme-branches in fruit often 6-10 in.; pedicels often 4 in.; calyx-lobes 1? 
fruit 4 in., obtuse.—Roxburgh's C. racemosum has been united by all authorities Wi 
C. micranthum, Desf.; the nutlets are larger, the habit coarser; whether species OF 
variety, it is identical with C. lanceolatum, Forsk. 
4. C. glochidiatum, Wall. Cat. 922 ; stem hispid with hairs springing 
from tubercles, cauline leaves lanceolate base attenuate or petioled ciliate or 
denticulate, lower flowers of the elongate racemes shortly pedicelled, calyx- 
lobes ovate obtuse sometimes oblong in fruit, outer faces of the nutlets ovate 
margined glochidiate on all sides. DC. Prodr. x. 150, as to description only-
