102 ENUMEEATION OF iMosacece, 



Hab, Horton Plains, at an elevation of 7000 feet. 



Uerha perennis, stolonifera. Caules suberecti, elongati, patentim pflosi. Tolia 

 interrupte pinnata, pilosa. FoIioJa numerosa, (majora oblonp, minora orbicularia,) 

 gnbsessilia, acute deatata, subtus pallidiora, costa venisqae longe adprcsse pilosis. 



Achenia Isevia. 



In my specimens of this plant the bracteola are entire and smaller than the 

 calyx-lobes, and not, as in Dr. Wight's figure, larger and toothed. P. jpolyphylla, 

 Wall.^ would seem to differ principally in being quite glabrous and in the leaflets 

 being crenately and not acutely toothed. P. sjplendenSi Don, Prod. Fl. Nep. p. 230, 

 is evidently closely allied to these.

Hab. "Adam*s Peak, 1835. Mr. Alwis," Gardner. 



I have searched ia vaia for this plant in my visits to Adam's Peak, and Mr. 

 Alwis has now no vivid recollection of gathering it there. The specimens in this 

 Herbarium are in a very imperfect condition, and bear a considerable resemblance to 

 P, Sanguisorha, LIuu.
