each valve, striated horizontally with nerves between the 
gibbous portions; the nerved portion, and almost the whole 
body of the nut, is hollow internally; the four cells with 
their solitary seeds being situated by pairs within the gibbous 
parts. Seeds erect, clavate, slightly curved. Albumen none, 
Radicle inferior. : 
In rubbish, near tanks under the shade of trees. I first 
met with this plant at Samulcottah, where Roxburgh also 
saw it; since, however, I have found it at Trevalore, near 
Tanjore, and a few other places; but it may be considered 
as rare: the specimens figured are from Trichinopoly. We 
have referred to Forskal's plant with doubt, for Vahl describes 
the stems as glabrous: perhaps it may form a distinct species. 
As a genus, Streptium is rather too closely allied to Priva.
