 ped. ! Blinkworth, Madden ; Montibus Khasia, alt. 5000-6000 ped. I 

 graminosis, Griffith, &c. (fl. Sept.) (v. v.) 



Foetida. Rami debiles, glabri, nitidi, ramulis pubescentibus villosisve. 

 Folia opposita et alterna, glabrata v. cano-pubescentia v. in exempla- 

 ribus Khasianis cano-tomentosa, petiolo gracili i-1 poUicari, lamina 

 latitudine varia, 2-4 unciali, membranacea, basi rotundata rarius 

 cordata, apice acuta v. acuminata, margine integerrima v. obscure 

 crenato-dentata. Flores magnitudine variabiles. Calycis tubus late 

 hemisphaericus, lobis distantibus, linearibus, patentibus, integerrimis 

 V. subdentatis. Corolla i unc. longa, late cylindraceo-campanulata, 

 lobis brevibus, late ovatis, acutis, glaberrima v. puberula, plerumque 

 pallide viridis, intus basi purpurascens, lobis venosis apicibus rubris. 

 Bacca i-1 unc. lata, carnosula, valvis comeis. Semina pallide fusca v. 

 sordide flavida ; testa reticulata. 



The Khasia Mountain specimens are usually more downy than 

 the Himalayan ones, the leaves being sometimes almost villous on 

 both surfaces, but we find no other difference between them and 

 the Kumaon specimens ; the latter are sometimes almost glabrous. 



2. CoDONOPSis AFFiNis {Hf. ^ T.). VolubiUs, ramis glabris, ramuhs 

 ultimis puberulis, foliis ovato-cordatis basi profunde bilobis supeme 

 glabris subtus cano-pubescentibus, pedunculis oppositifoliis, calycis 

 tubo hemisphaerico lobis lineari-oblongis lanceolatisve puberulis, co- 

 rolla late cylindraceo-campanulata, fructu ut in C. viridi. 



Hab. In sylvis et fruticetis temperatis Himalayae orientalisj Sikkim 



vallibus Lachen et Lachung, alt. 6000-9000 ped. ! J. D. H. (fl. Aug.) 



(v.v.) 

 C. viridi simillima, sed foliis brevius petiolatis magis coriaceis et semper 



basi profunde bilobo-cordatis, lobis rotundatis, sinu clauso v. aperto. 



Flores virescentes, apicibus loborum corollae rubris. Calycis lobi 



latiores quam in C. viridi. 



3. CoDONOPSis PURPUREA {Wall, in Roxb. Fl. Ind. ii. 105). Gla- 

 berrima, caule scandente fragili nodis incrassatis, foliis oppositis 

 breve petiolatis lanceolatis ovatis ovato-lanceolatisve acutis basi sub- 

 Rcutis membranaceis subtus glaucis, pedicellis terminalibus axillaribus
