1043. VALERIANA BRUNONIANA (W. & A.:) her- 
baceous, glabrous or very slightly puberulous: 
stems erect with 1.2 pairs of leaves near the root, 
and another small pair about the middle, slightly 
hirsute on the knots: leaves somewhat fleshy ; lower 
ones quite entire, ovate, bluntly acuminated, long- 
petioled, the radical one often emarginate at the 
base ; uppermost or small pair somewhat sessile, 
narrow oblong, entire or toothed along the margin: 
corymb terminal, trichotomous, panicled, with a pair 
of foliaceous bracteas similar to the uppermost leaves 
subtending the principal branches: corolla 5-cleft: 
fruit linear-oblong, glabrous.— W.andA.Prod. p 443. 
Common in pasture lands on the Hill sides all 
over the hills, flowering during the rains. It generally 
attains a larger size than the specimen represented: 
In the figure the pubescence is a little too distinct 
but it varies in that respect. 
1044. VALERIANA LEeSCHENAULTI (D. C.) herbace- 
ous : stemerect, simple, with the knots hairy, other- 
wise glabrous : radical leaves petioled, ovate, obtuse, 
crenated, hirsute on both sides; stalk-leaves remote, 
small, sessile, the uppermost cut in a pinnated man- 
ner into 35 linear glabrous lobes, the odd one the 
longest: corymb contracted : fruit villous.— W. and 
4. Prod. p. 444. 
This, like the preceding, grows in pastures, but 
prefers richer soiland shade, being met with about 
the skirts of woods in moist soil: though nearly 
allied, it seems distinct from the other both in cha- 
racters and habit. In my specimens the leaves and 
petioles are ciliate. The fruit in this is pentangular, 
in that compressed, furnished with 5 hairy nerves on 
one side and one on the other. 
1045 & 6. VALERIANA ARNOTTIANA (R. W.) her- 
baceous, erect puberulous: radical leaves on long 
petioles, unequally pinnated; about 2 pairs and an 
odd one; lower pair of leaflets alternate, upper pair 
opposite, all ovate or ovate-cordate, grossly, crenate- 
serrated, the odd one much the largest; cauline ones 
unequally pinnate about 3 pairs ; leaflets ovate or 
cordate, crenately dentate,obtuse, slightly acuminate: 
panicle large diffuse, divisions dichotomous : corolla 
5-cleft, fruit compressed, 3 ribbed on the one side, 
one on the other, very hairy between. 
In woods near Sisparah, on the Neilgherries, also 
on the Pulney mountains, flowering April and Sep- 
tember. Tbis appears very distinct from V. Hooker- 
¿ana the species to which it most nearly approaches,
