scent or villous, leaves ovate acute gland-dotted, peduncles solitary or 2-nate 
very short, sepals lanceolate villous longer than the corolla reflexed in fruit, 
filaments united at the base by a broad membrane, ovary hirsute. Duby 
in DC. Prodr. viii. 67; Klatt, die Gatt. Lysim. t. 19. L. debilis, Wall. in 
Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 25; Cat. 1482; Duby l c. 66; Klatt,

Branches 6-10 in. terete, weak. Leaves 1-1} in., usually petioled. Peduncles 
very variable in length, spreading decurved or upeurved. Corolla yellow, 4-2 in. diam. ;

plant procured in Sikkim by Griffith’s collectors has the leaves alternate, very short 
pedu n les, longer filaments with a shorter connecting membrane and hairy ovary ; it 
a good deal resembles Klatt's figure of L. ferruginea, Edgew., and is intermediate 
between alternifolia and japonica.
