pube tenui superne densiore sparsa. Stipule parve, ovate. 
Petiolus uncialis. Foliola patula, intermedio paulo longiore, 
14-2 unc. longa, 4-2 lata, basi rotundata, utrinque fusca, 
opaca, petiolulo 1-à unc. longo. ^ Pedunculus. 2-4-uncialis, 
tenuis, ramis alternis divaricatis. Calyx breviter cyathiformis. 
Petala 4, ovata, apice non coh:rentia. Stamina 4. Stylus 
brevissimus. ; 
Infiorescence imperfect in these specimens. Closely allied to 
Vitis carnosa, Wall., but the whole plant is less hairy. 
11. Cissus tenuicaulis, Hook. fil.; caule gracili striato parce 
piloso, foliis longe petiolatis 5-foliolatis, foliolis petiolulatis in- 
termedio majore lateralibus geminis lanceolatis acuminatis 
basi rotundatis grosse serratis membranaceis utrinque pilosis, 
cirrhis elongatis gracillimis, racemis folio equilongis, fruc- 
tiferis dichotome ramosis, ovario disco carnoso immerso,

Caulis crassitie penne passerine, glabratus v. superne precipue 
parce pilosus, obscure striatus. Stipule late ovate, obtuse. 
Petiolus gracilis, glaberrimis, 2-pollicaris.  Foliola 13-2 unc.

akin Stamina 4. Discus urceolaris. Stylus ervey: brevis ; 
stigmate capitato. Bacce sub 3-lin. longs. 
Except in the pubescent leaves, this hardly differs from 
C. Japonica. tis also very near the E. Indian C. capreolata, 
which is however a densely pubescent plant. 
12. Cissus membranacea, Hook. fil.; glaberrima, flaccida, caule 
gracillimo tereti striato, folis petidlatis trifoliolatis, foliolis 
petiolulatis lateralibus longioribus ovatis ovato-lanceolatisve 
acuminatis basi valde inzqualibus serrato-dentatis membra-
