This is the other species of Hasrnaria from Bombay, 
mentioned at t. 3374, when speaking of H. gigantea, as 
communicated by Josep Nimmo, Esq., to our Botanical 
Garden, where it flowered in December. It is a rare and 
interesting plant, though greatly inferior in beauty to the 
- Sigantea. It appears entirely to agree with the H. 
_S0odyeroides of Mr. Don, a native of Nepal. So that, on 
the continent of India, it seems to have an extensive range. 
Escr. Stem a foot in height, erect, simple, rounded, | 
leafy. Leaves patent, remote, gradually larger upwards, 
where they are more crowded, elliptical-lanceolate, rather 
acute, striated, waved, of a satiny-green lustre. Peduncle 
terminal, sheathed with erect, lanceolate bracteas, and 
“ating a rather long and densely crowded spike of small 
owers, intermixed with subulate bracteas, which are rather 
longer
