or it is possibly a reduced form of Oldenlandia herbacea (Linn.) 
Roxb. (O. heynii G. Don). 
DENTELLA Forster 
DENTELLA REPENS (Linn.) Forst. Char. Gen. (1776) 26, t. 13. 
Oldenlandia repens Mant. 1 (1767) 40. 
Oldenlandia repens Burm. f. Fl. Ind. vetrolg 88, t. 15, f. 2. “Amat 
loca paludosa Coromandeli.” 
It is not certain that Burman’s species is identical with the 
Linnean one, although there is nothing in the description or 
in the rather indefinite figure contrary to this interpretation 
of it. 
BORRERIA G. F. Meyen 
BORRERIA OCYMOIDES (Burm. f.) DC. Prodr. 4 (1830) 544. 
Spermacoce ocymoides Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 34, t. 18, f. 1. “Sajor 
Babi Javanis.” [That is, the type from Java, with the Javanese 
name sajor babi.] 
The range of this species outside of Java is more or less con- 
fused by species of other authors that have apparently been 
erroneously reduced to it. It is, however, apparently of wide 
distribution in the Malayan region. 
PAEDERIA Linnaeus 
PAEDERIA FOETIDA Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 52. . 
Apocynum foetidum Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 71. “Habitat in India.” 
While Paederia tomentosa Blume is generally recognized as 
a distinct species, there seem, to be no constant characters by 
which it can be distinguished from the Linnean one.

BLASTANIA Kotschy and Peyr. 
BLASTANIA GARCINI (Burm. f.) Cogn. in DC. Monog. Phan. 3 (1881) 629. 
Sicyos garcini Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 211 (err. typ. 311). “Habitat 
in Zeylona.” 
Sicyos garcini Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 297. 
Ctenolopis garcini C. B. Clarke in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 2 (1879) 629. 
A well-known species of southern India and'‘Ceylon. 
CAMPANULACEAE 
LOBELIA Plumier 
* LOBELIA PUMILA Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 186, t. 60, f. 8. 
I suspect that this is a true Lobelia in spite of the leaves being 
described and figured as opposite; it is perhaps near Lobelia 
zeylanica Linn. The type was from Coromandel.
