Stems weak, 2-4 in. Cauline leaves 3-83 in. ; radical long-petioled, some orbicu- 
cular but many spathulate.— Does not differ from T. microcarpa except n bere 
smaller, with subsessile leaves more attenuate at the base. Wallich’s example 18 20 
in good fruit.

petioled elliptic narrowed at both ends minutely strigose, racemes termine’

Stems 10 in. Leaves 2 by Y in., upper sessile. Pedicels l in.—Deseribed from 
Wallich’s examples, which resemble his 7. rotundifolia, but are larger. The Sikkt 
ones are much smaller, with fruiting pedicels hardly exceeding 4 in. and the nutlets 
brown yellow.

Stems 8-24 in., mostly prostrate. Cauline leaves 4-11 in., from elliptic to orbict

in.; terminal racemes generally added.  Calyz-lobes in fruit 4-3 in. Flowers 4 “of 
diam. and upwards. Nutlets +4, in. diam.— Had there been as few specimeni ite 
this as of the three preceding species, the axillary-flowered examples would indubl 
ably have been reckoned distinct from Wallich’s terminal-racemed ones.
