Lindenberc/ia Lehm. 



Lindenbergia urticcefolia, Link & Otto Ic PI. Rar. Hort. Berol. (1828) t. 48. 



Vera. N. : Pindru. 



Loc: Jodhpur: Balsamand (Nos. 10331 !, 10232 !), Kailana (No. 10333 !), 

 Mandor (Nos. 10334!, 10335!), Bhikamkor (No. 10336!), Kotda 

 (No. 10337 !), (Barmer No. 10338 !), Barmer on rocks (Nos. 10339 !), 

 10340 !, 10341), near cultivated places about Jodhpur, not very 

 common (Macadam). 



Distrib. : India, Afghanistan. 



Fl. and fr. in October and November. 



Note : Several of our specimens have acute calyx lobs, but sub- 

 glabrous or pubescent ovaries and capsules. This shows that 

 L. abyssinica Hochst. is not a good species and ought to be included 

 under L. urcicaefolia, L. and O. 



As regards the variations there seem to be two forms which may 

 prove to be constant varieties. They are distinguished by the size 

 of the corolla. Two specimens from Barmer have the corolla 4 and 

 11 mm. broad, respectively. Further material is required to clear up 

 this point. (Similar variations were observed in Bombay specimen, 

 see Journ. Bom. Nat. Hist. Soc. XXV, 424.)
