. (Vahl. Roxb.) Perennial, 
spikes cylindrical, flowers hid. 
Very abundant on the sea 
i coast at various Stations 
in the Northern Circars. I have also met with both 
species further South, but not so abundant. Floral 
joints very short : flowers incofispicuous opposite thre ፎ-' 
fold, hid by the upper margin of the next floral leaf 
below : calyxa flask-like fleshy substance with a slit for the 
style, in this species I have never been able to discover 
even the rudiments of a stamen.— ozb.

Native of the sea coast. Roxburgh suggests that 
this species should be compared with $. herbacea, others 
have referred it with doubt to S. fruticosa.

about 10 times longer than broad, 6-angled with 2-3 of

741. IMPATIENS cUSPIDATA (W. and A.) herbaceous 
erect glabrous, sparingly ramous: leaves alternate, 
long petioled, membranacious, oblong lanceolate atte- 
nuated at both ends, serrated ; nerves beneath sprinkled 
with tawny hairs : pedicels axillary, slender, shorter 
than the leaves, solitary or in pairs, when in fruit, erect : 
lateral sepals small subulate pointed, upper one deeply 
obcordate subcuniate, furnished on the back with a pro- 
jecting horn-like appendage; lower one cuspidate at the 
apex, terminating below in a long, slender, straight spur, 
gibbous at the point : petals two-lobed, upper ones large 
slightly bifid ; lower vertical, (pointing to the earth) 
cuspidate, capsule glabrous, oblong, attenuated at both 
ends : seeds ovate, reticulated; reticulations hairy. R.

Neilgherries, in moist woods near Kotergherry. This 
species is allied in some points to T. Leschenaultii, as well 
as to I. latifolia, but is readily distinguished from both by 
the form of the flowers, the straight spur, and the reti- 
culated seed.

lary, solitary or paired, erect, scarcely half the length of

cuniate, cuspidate ; lateral ones minute: lobes of the __ 
petals nearly equal scarcely half the length of the slen- —
