forms of fruiting calyx are great, and possibly indicate two species; in some speci- 
mens it is almost campanulate with erect teetb, in others almost globose with 
incurved teeth. 
12. D. tomentosa, Dalz. in Hook. Kew Journ. ii. 337; stout, erect, 
branched, softly pubescent all over with long hairs, internodes very short, 
leaves many in a whorl linear obtuse, margins revolute, spikes stout villous, 
bracts equalling the flowers linear, flowering calyx y; in. subcampanulate.

Probably a large hairy state of D. stellata, with spikes j in. diam. Young 
specimens are decumbent, old and large ones have the habit of D. Stocksii and 
pentagona. 
13. D. gracilis, Dalz. in Hook. Kew Journ. ii. 377; stem erect stout 
or slender hairy or glabrate, internodes very short, leaves sessile 5-20 in a 
whorl narrowly linear obtuse, or subacute glabrous or hoary, margins revo- 
lute quite entire, spikes 1-2 in. slender villous, bracts equalling the flowers 
filiform, calyx jJ; in. campanulate hemispheric and hardly enlarged in fruit 
with erect teeth. Dalz. & Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 208. 
Deccan PENINSULA; Sihadree Hills, near Phonda Ghat, Ritchie, Dalzell. 
Very near D. tomentosa, with which it agrees in habit, but the spikes are more slender, 
and the calyx much smaller. The form of the bracts affords an inconstant character 
in this and in D. stellata, of which I suspect this is only a tall form. Stem 2-3 ft., 
sometimes as thick as a swan’s quill, Leaves }-} in., often recurved. Spikes d in. 
Tiam. Calyx densely villous.—1 do not find the toothing of the leaves described by 
alzell, 
14. D. erecta, Dalz. in Hook. Kew Journ. ii. 337; stem erect tall 
hispidulous, leaves 9-12 in a whorl linear or almost filiform obtuse or acute 
glabrous or scaberulous, margins recurved, spikes slender pubescent, bracts 
very short equalling the calyx clavellate, calyx shortly campanulate, teeth 
obtuse erect. Dalz. & Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 208. 
SOUTHERN CONCAN; margins of swamps, Malwar, Dalzell. . 
This is hardly distinguishable from D. gracilis. Dalzell's specimens ( named by 
himself) are of two forms; one from very wet places has nearly simple flexuous stems, 
almost capillary lower leaves (evidently immersed), and linear obtuse glabrous upper 
ones $ in. long, in whorls of about 12; the other, from drier places, is shorter, more 
robust, much branched, with scaberulous leaves 4-8 in a whorl, and spikes exactly 
like D. stellata, of which I suspect the species is a form.

sessile quite entire leaves).
