308 ON THREE NEW INDIAN GENERA. 
progress of his last fatal malady had taken from him all prospect of any 
further personal enjoyment. Some portions of this collection he kindly 
transferred to me before his decease, but the great bulk, amounting to 
about 30,000 species, has since then, in compliance with his wishes, 
been presented by his brother to the University of Cambridge. An 
important item in the herbarium, including the species I now describe, 
is composed of the Indian collections of his friend, the late Dr. Griffith, 
which gives me the opportunity of associating, in the name I propose, 
those of these two friends and botanists. 
I consider the Carlemannia Griffithii as an undoubted Rubiacea, 
although it differs in two striking particulars from the great mass, if 
not from the whole, of that extensive Order. The leaves are serrately 
toothed, and the stamens are reduced to two in a tetramerous flower. 
At first sight the plant appears also to be exstipulate, but on a careful 
examination it will be found in the young shoots that the petioles are 
eonnected by a prominent line bearing occasionally a few minute teeth, 
and this line may even be traced on the old stems, although it becomes 
very faint. In all other respects the Carlemannia is a genuine Hedyo- 
tidea. Tn habit it resembles some species of Ophiorrhiza ; in inflores- 
cence and capsule it is near to some of the broad-leaved corymbose Ol- 
denlandie. Dr. Griffith procured specimens from the neighbourhood of 
. Darjeeling and gathered others from the Khasiya hills, and it has been 
since collected in both these localities by Drs. Hooker and Thomson.
