2M WILLIS : THE FLORA OF RIT1GALA : 



labelled by Trimen, though it is not in flower, with the name of 

 this species and this is hairy, but with white, not with golden- 

 sulphury hairs. I therefore refrain from giving the Ritigala 

 specimens a varietal name. 



54. S. Walker i. Am. var. stenocarpa , Clarke (?) No 

 flowers, so identification uncertain. Means of transport 

 doubtful, but occurs in the dry zone. 



55. Eranthemum malabaricum . Clarke. Summit. Means 

 of transport doubtful, but is common to 3,000 feet, and occurs 

 at Sigiri. Darabulla, &c, in the dry zone. 



56. Rungia pa rvi flora Nees. Summit. Transport method 

 doubtful. Common in the moist region to 7,000 feet, and as 

 one of Thwaites' specimens is labelled Topawe, probably occurs 

 in dry zone also. 



57. Cole us barbatus, Benth. Summit. Distribution method 

 doubtful, but also occurs at-Dambulla and elsewhere in the 

 dry zone. 



58. C. elongatus. Trim. Summit. Distribution method 

 doubtful. An endemic species to Ritigala. 



59. Anisochilus velulinus, Trim. Summit. Distribution 

 method doubtful, but occurs on dry rocks in the dry zone, as 

 al Gunner's Quoin, &c. 



80. Tjpwcos biflora, Br. From 1,800 feet to the summit. 

 Distribution method doubtful, but is common in the dry zono. 



til . Piper sylveslre, Lam. (?) No flowers or fruits, so the 

 identification must remain quite uncertain. Distribution 

 method doubtful, perhaps by birds. Occurs in the dry zone, 

 and to 3,000 feet elevation. 



C>2. Piprroinia psriulo-rhonibra. ("as. DC. var. tenuis , 

 Trimen. Summit. Distribution method doubtful, but perhaps 

 by birds, the fruits being a trifle clinging. The variety is 

 confined to the summit of Ritigala, the type is rather rare in 

 the montane zone from 3,000 to 5,000 feet. 



63, P. Wighttana, Miq. var. EitigaUnais, Willis. Stems 

 to 10 or 12 inches long, leaves opposite, to 1£ inches long, 

 usually rotundatc BOmetimee ovate (on same plant), tapering
