both surfaces. Spike hardly 1 in.; peduncle scarce $ in. Calyx-teeth de in. Corolla- 
tube 4 in, long, green without purple within. Drupe à in., ovoid or ellipsoid trigo- 
nous, hairy towards the apex.—H. f. & T. have been misled by DC. into supposing 
that Wallich described T. hirsutum from Chittagong as a different species from 7. 
himalayanum. The origin of the error appears to have been that DO. read Wallich’s 
ms. locality **Gossain Than” as the Sanskrit spelling of Chittagong. DC. further 
misprints the fruit as 5-seeded, whereas Wallich states (rightly) 3-seeded.
