p. 346 (Herb. Lemann, et Bentham). 

 Species valde distincta, ob folia longe petiolata late ovata obtusa et obtuse 

 sinuato-dentata (ut in /. noli-tangere) facile distinguenda. Exemplar 

 solitarium annuum, spithamseura, ramosum. Petioli i-F', lamina 1''. 

 Pedunculi graciles, foliis a^quilongi. Flores rosei, conferti v. racemosi, 

 pedicellis V> cum calcare 1-H" longi. — " Calcar fusco-rubrum, alis 

 basin versus albis, limbo aurantiaco-maculatis." — Griffith. 

 This species belongs in habit and foliage to the group with /. noli- 

 tangere and fulva, and has no very near ally in India.
