J BOTANY OF WESTERN INDIA. 231 
caribus supra hispidulo-scabridis subtus glabris pallidis minute et 
distanter spinuloso-serratis, pedicellis in axillis oppositis solitariis 
unifloris villosis, floriferis folio brevioribus, fructiferis deflexis folium 
æquantibus, sepalis lateralibus linearibus villosis anterioris longitu- 
dine, posteriore orbiculari apice acutiusculo dorso carinato villoso, 
anteriore longo navieulari extus villoso, calcare brevissimo obtuso 
incuryo, petalorum lobo posteriore minimo, anteriore cuneato longe 
unguiculato, capsula oblonga glabra utrinque attenuata oligosperma, 
seminibus nigris nitidis.—Crescit in montibus Syhadree, prope 
Phonda-ghat ; fl. Sept. 
This species seems nearly allied to I. tomentosa and rufescens. From 
the former it is readily distinguished by the very different form of the 
anterior sepal, which in the present species is cymbiform, being four 
times longer than broad; and from the latter by the presence of a 
spur. The flowers are of the size of I. Kleinii. 
Nat. Ord. COMPOSITÆ. 
ADENOSTEMMA. 
A. rivale; caule erecto simplici feret; glabro bipedali, foliis Zineari- 
lanceolatis basi longe attenuatis serrato-dentatis glabris, panicula 
corymbosa puberula laxa oligocephala, involucri squamis linearibus 
vel lineari-spathulatis obtusis herbaceis subæqualibus subglabris, 
acheniis glanduloso-tubereulatis.— Crescit in rivorum marginibus 
umbrosis utriusque Concani. 
This is the Ægeratum aquaticum of Roxb., which I have inserted 
here under its proper genus, as it is not to be found in De Candolle's 
*Prodromus. The achænia are exactly like those of 4. leiocarpum. | 
Steudel is in error in his synonym of Roxburgh's plant, such as it is — 
described in his ‘Flora Indica, where he says, * stem round” (as I 
find it); there must have been some mistake about the plant found in - 
Roxburgh's herbarium, under the name of 4. aquaticum, as recorded | 
by De Candolle. « 5 
DzcaANEURUM (Gymnanthemum). 
D. microcephalum; caule pubescenti-scabro ramoso, foliis petiolatis 
atis basi in petiolum longe attenuatis remote aris- 
ellipticis acumin: 
tato-serratis supra pubescentibus subtus dense albo-tomentosis, ca- 
pitulis parvis in apice ramorum solitariis, involucri ovati squamis —
