I have already remarked. (in page 4 of this Volume) that this noble tree varies somewhat in its foliage and fruit, 
according to the locality of its growth. I am sure, however, that these differences do not amount to any specific 
distinctions. The figure which is here given represents a branch of the Gossain Than tree, with young fruit.

This curious plant delights in arid and sterile exposed situations along the banks of the river Irawaddi. It is very 
branchy, and spreads in all directions, over shrubs and rocks, climbing by means of its simple and slender tendrils. 
The branches are long and pendulous ; the leaves very fleshy and juicy, and of a pale glaucous colour. The flowers 
are small, but very numerous, forming ample greenish, nodding panicles; the different sexes are produced in distinct 
plants. 
I am acquainted with the following other species of Zanonia :— 
Z. elavigera, levis ; foliis trifoliolatis, foliolis oblongis, acuminatis, integerrimis ; fructu maximo clavato. 
A native of Sillet, where it is called in the Bengali language KisAnobera. The fruit is three inches long, and as 
thick as a thumb; the seeds flat, oblong, terminated at both ends with an obtuse spongy wing, two inches long. The 
mode of fructification in this as well as in Z. cissoides and lava, is like that of Z. sarcophylla. 
Z. angulata, levis ; caule anguloso ; foliis simplicibus, subhastato-lanceolatis, basi cordatis ; fructu maximo, clavato. 
This is also a native of Sillet. I have only seen a single mutilated specimen. “The fruit is as long as a finger, and 
very thick. 
Z. cissoides, caule filiformi, angulato; foliis pedatis, 5- vel 7-foliolatis, foliolis lanceolatis, utrinque acuminatis, 
grossè cuspidato-serratis ; petiolis pedunculisque pilosulis.
