scattered short prickly hairs, otherwise glabrous : leaves 

 7-9 tbliolate; leaflets obovate or oblong, euneate, hispid, 

 with a close pressed rigid pubescence, scarcely so long as 

 the petiole ; upper floral leaves minute : stamens numcr- 



324. Geranium Wallichianim (Don.) stem decum- 

 bent, purple; leaves 6 -parted, with broadly cuneated, 

 ovate, deeply-toothed, lobes ; clothed on both surfaces as

 terete, sessile. — W. & A. Prod. p. 22. 



1 a small plant, natural size — 2 a dissected flower, 

 showing the hypogynous insertion of the stamens — ^ a 



siliqua dehiscing— -4 a seed, 



320. Triumfetta angi lata (Lam.) stems herbace- 

 ous, glabrous or pubescent : uppermost leaves ovate, 

 acuminated ; middle and lower ones cuspidately 8-5-

1 A branch bearing both flowers and fruit, natural siza 



2 an expanded flower, showing the 10 stamens and so- 

 litary style — 3 a fruit cut transversely, 5-celled with 1 

 seed in each. 



It does not agree very w T ell with the above 

 character, which I copy from Don, the authority for the 

 sj ecies, but the remarkable stipules induce me to refer it 

 to that species 



1 Flowering branch, natural size — 2 expanded flower 

 3-4 stamens— 5 ovary, style and stigmas -— ti ovules — 7 

 stigma much magnified — 8 a petal — 9 sepals. 



325. Salvia lanata (Roxb.) stems herbaceous, caes- 

 pitose at the base, woolly : leaves oblong- lanceolate, ob- 

 tuse, entire, minutely crenulated; narrowing towards the 

 base, rugous ; above loosely, beneath densely, whitish, 

 tomentose; the floral ones broad, acuminated, concave, 

 persistent, as long as the calyx : branches simple, villous, 

 viscid: verticellastri remote, about 6-flowered : calyx 

 campanulate, upper lip shortly, 3-toothed, inferior bifid, 

 teeth acute: corolla twice the length of the calyx, tube 

 exserted, widening at the throat, upper lip vaulted, com- 

 pressed, the lateral lobes of the inferior one oblong erect: 

 connective dentulate deflexed, or abruptly dilated and cal- 

 lous at the extremity.— Eenth. Lab. p. 228. 



I Flowering branch — 2 calyx — 3 the same opened— 4 

 stigma — 5 corolla — 6 the same opened, showing the in- 

 sertion of the stamens— 7 a detached stamen showing 

 the dilated posterior extremity of the connectivum— 8 

 ovary, style and stigma — 9 a stamen more highly magni* 

 Jied, showing separately the anther, connectivum, and 

 short filament, the dotted lines showing the points of 

 union— 10 ovary more highly magnified. 



326. Flemingia semialata (Roxb.) shrubby, ramous : 



leaves ternate ; leaflets oblong, acute, three-nerved ; pe- 



322. Altsma reniformis (Don. Fl. Nepal :) leaves tiole winged: raceme terminal and axillary, panicled. 



321. Salacia prixoides (DC.) glabrous : branches 

 terete : leaves oblong, obtusely acuminated, serrulated, 

 coriaceous : pedicels several, from an axillary tubercle, 

 1 -flowered, about equal to the petioles : calyx-lobes 

 round, much shorter than the petals, more or less pu- 

 berulous and ciliated : petals broadly ovate, unguiculate, 

 quite entire; torus large, cup-shaped, thick, fleshy, at 

 first nearly enclosing the ovary : stamens short, about 

 the length of the style, arising from the inner side of the 

 torus : ovules 2, superposed, in each cell of the ovary : 

 fruit nearly globose (about the size of a small cherry), 1 

 celled, 1-seeded.— W. & A. Prod. p. 105. 



1. A flowering branch, with some fruit of the preced- 

 ing season— 2 an expanded flower, somewhat magnified 



3 a seed divided into its lobes, showing the minute ra- 

 dicle at the base. 



reniform, long-petioleri, nerved, glabrous on both sides: 

 scape panicled, twice the length of the leaves : pedun- 

 cles about 3, pedicels 3-5, fruit obovate obtusely 3-an- 

 gular. 



The specimens here figured, were kindly communi- 

 cated by Mr. Edge worth, B. C. S. of Seharumpore who, 

 I believe, collected them near Simla. 



I a flowering panicle — 2 an unexpanded flower — 3 a 

 flower somewhat forcibly expanded— 4 stamens back and 

 front views— 5 perigonium and stamens removed showing 

 the ovary in situ— 6 a detached ovary— 7 the same cut 

 vertically, ovule basilar erect— 8 a leaf natural size. 





23. 



Impatiens Scabrida ? (DC.) peduncles 3-4 

 flowered, erect, shorter than the leaves : leaves oval, ta- 

 pering at both ends, serrated, younger ones on both sur- 

 faces as well as the stem hispid, adult ones smooth : 

 spur long: capsules subcylindrical, valves curling inward 

 from the top— DC. Prod. L p. 687. 



Simla— I am also indebted to Mr. Edgeworth for this 

 and the two following drawings, which he communicated 

 along with many others, I have some doubts however, of 

 this being DeCandole's plant, for, though generally it 

 accords well with his character, the spur agrees better 

 with the description of Roxburgh's /. tripetala, which, 

 therefore it may be.

1 A flowering branch, natural size— 2 a dissected flower, 

 the different parts separately represented— 3 ovary and 



stamens— 4 stamens detached— 5 ovary —6 the same mag- 

 nified* 



Roxb. Fl. lndica 3 p. 310. 



Is very nearly allied to Fl. congesta but is dis- 

 tinguished by the petiole being furnished with a nar- 

 row wing, and the leaflets sprinkled with a few inconspi- 

 cuous yellowish glands, and not copiously dotted with 

 black ones." W. and A Prod. p. 241. 



1 Flowering branch — 2 a pod opened showing the 2 

 small seed. 



327. Flemtngia ltneata (Roxb) shrubby, erect, 

 branched: old branches terete and nearly glabrous, young 

 ones angled and pubescent : leaves trifoliolate ; leaflets 

 obovate or oblong, euneate at the base ; upper side gla- 

 brous; under pubescent when young, afterwards gla- 

 brous, inconspicuously dotted with minute yellowish 

 glands, the nerves densely pubescent : petiole channelled, 

 not margined, about half the length of the leaflets : sti- 

 pules deciduous, nearly half the length of the petioles : 

 racemes arranged in a peduncled diffuse panicle: brae- 

 teas deciduous : calyx-segments about equal and with 

 the legume pubescent and covered with minute whitish 

 mealy glands— W. & A. Prod. 242. 



1 Branch in flower and fruit — 2 an open legume. 



328. Pongamia ovalfolia (W. & A.) arboreous, 

 leaflets 4-pair, drooping, oval,obtute, glabrous: raceme: 

 elongated, disposed along the leafless branches, slightlt 

 compound : pedicels slender, arranged along very shors 

 minutely-bracteated partial peduncles : vexillum withouy 

 callosities: ovary with two approximated ovules about 



the middle.— W. & A. Prod. 262,
