568. Dastloma Bengalensf. (DC. Sessile Bengal- 

 ensis Roxb.) 



Obs. DeCandolle distinguishes two species of this 



genus one D. Bengalense, by its umbels being sessile— 



the other D. glaucurn by its umbels having a distinct 



peduncle. As this is Roxburgh's plant, therefore the 



true /). Bengalense.md all the umbels have peduncles, it 



seems probable that the two are but varieties, or if not 



that DeCandolle s characters are insufficient for their dis- 

 crimination.

Obs. The plant figured No. 335 of this work differs corolla hypocratenform ; tube long, glabrous; limb 7-11 

 1 " •■ * m ' ' cleft, the divisions the length of the tube : berry even 



so much in its general appearance from this, which is the 

 true Roxburgian one, that I have thought it just to- 

 wards Roxburgh to publish his own figure, even at the 

 risk of giving plates of 2 varieties of the same plant.
