634. Smilax ovalifolia, Roxb. Fl. Ind. vol. iii. p. 794-.— S. macrophylla, Roxb. I.e. l—S.proH- 
fera, Roxb. 1. c. ! Trailing over shrubs (Hauce !). 
This species has generally paniculate, but sometimes also simple umbels. It is widely distributed over 
tropical Asia. In Herb. Hook, there are specimens from Raugoon (M'Clelland!), Ceylon (Walker! Gard- 
ner!), Kumaon (Strachcy and Wintcrbottom !), Silhet (Wallich!). 
Smilax Fseudo-China, Linn., was said to hiive been collected in China (Rot. Reech. p. 218), but It 
appears that some North American specimens of that plant were inadvertently mixed up with a Chinese 
collection ; if this explanation suffices with regard to the statement in Rot. Reech., we have still to find 
out what Roxburgh aud.Loureiro understand by then respective S. Pseudo-China.
