gested by Wight, unless it be a very prickly variety of S. torvum. To 
the synonyms of S. feror may be added S. hirsutum, Roxb. Fl. Tnd- 
vol. i. p. 571 (quoted by Nees, but overlooked by Dunal except as “4. 
hirsutum, R. in herb. Puerari"), and S. immane, Hance in Walp. Ann. 
vol. iii. p. 165, whose diagnosis agrees perfectly well with the common 
Indian species.

island.

Common on Mount Victoria and in other parts of the island. The 
plant is either quite smooth or slightly pubescent, and agrees in every 
respect with the Assam one, upon which the species was originally es- 
tablished. The reddish hue, which the upper parts of the plant and 
the calyces assume occasionally, and which suggested the specific name, 
appears to be accidental. `

9. Bonnaya verbenafolia, Benth. 1. c. p. 421. 
Three common weeds for which no precise locality was recorded ; the 
first has hitherto been only found in China, the two others are widely 
diffused over East India.
