lobes often 1 in. Capsule $ in., 4-seeded. Seeds } in. diam., when ripe nearly black; 
always glabrous, and so differing from all other Barlerias.

orbieular, compressed, silky.— Uniform except as to habit and indumentum. e 
common Sikkim form has erect stems, leaves 4 in. long, glabrate lineolate aboves 
outer sepals subspinous-ciliate; a common Khasia form is similar, bat has the sep s 
very sparingly toothed; the West Himalaya form (B. napalensis var. microphy! % 
Nees) has leaves hardly an inch long and many solitary flowers ; B. salicifolia, Hey po 
has a diffuse weedy habit, linear-oblong leaves and much yellow bair; the Sou a 
Indian plant, on hotter drier rocks, has often smaller more rigid very hairy leaves, an, 
very hairy sepals. There can be, as T. Anderson states, no doubt that this plant iS 
wild everywhere in the lower hills of N.E. and Central India; and no doubt in the 
Mts. of S. India also.
