seems as if it might justly be removed from its present 
station to form the type of a new order. 
1105. MooNIA ARNoTTIANA (R. W.) shrubby, 
erect, ramous : leaves opposite, unequally pinnatifid, the 
terminal lobe larger, deeply 3 cleft: pinnæ lanceolate, 
acuminate, coarsely inciso-serrated, glabrous : flowers 
of the ray numerous: achænia entire at the apex.— 
R. W. M.S.S. 
Neilgherries and Pulney mountains in clumps of 
jungle—on the former common near the Avalanche 
Bungalow and in almost every clump of jungle from 
thence to near Sisparah. 
M. heterophylla (Arnott) suffruticose ? leaves oppo- 
site, petioled, entire or biternately divided, with mucro- 
nate serratures : flowers of the ray about 5 : 628 
marginate bicornute at the apex. Ceylon.— Arn. pugil. 
D. C. prod. 7—289. 
1106. WEDELIA URTICEFOLIA (D. C.) herbaceous 
subscandent: leaves petioled ovate lanceolate coarsely 
and unequally serrated ; strigosely hispid on both sides ; 
acuminate often incurved at theapex : peduncles solitary 
1 cephalous: scales of the involucrum 10 in two series, 
acuminate, rough on the back: paliæ of the receptacle 
much acuminated : achænia surmounted by a short den- 
ticulate calyeulus.— D. C. I. ር. 5. 539. 
B Wightii peduncles about the length of the leaves: 
leaves shortly acuminate at the base : sparingly strigose.

My specimens of this plant are from the Neilgherries, 
Pulneys and Shevagherry mountains 一 showing its Al- 
pine tendencies. 
1107. WEDELIA CALENDULACEA (Lessing) leaves 
oblong—lanceolate, attenuated towards the base, stri- 
gosely pilose on both sides, with a few serratures at the 
apex: peduncles 1 cephalous, axillary, solitary, three 
times longer than the leaves: exterior scales of the invo- 
lucrum oblong, subacute, longer than the disk : calyculus 
of the achænium substipetate, denticulate.—.D. C. I. c. 
5. 539. 
A widely diffused plant—varies in the leaves being 
obtuse or acuminate entire or more pr less serrated or 
eut or even, but rarely, almost 3 lobed.—D. C. 
1108. WoLLASTONIA BIFLORA (D.C.) leaves pe- 
tioled ovate, at the base shortly at the apex long acumi- 
nate, acutely serrated ; above scabrous from scattered 
hairs, nearly glabrous beneath : peduncles one to three, 
1-cephalous ; one terminal ånd 1-2 from the superior 
axils: scales of the involucrum two series, oblong lan- 
ceolate : achenium bald or with a single arista.— 
D.C. E65. 546; 
1109. SPILANTHES CALVA (D. C.) stem ascending, 
repent at the base hirsutulous atthe apex: leaves petioled, 
ovate obtuse, serrated or crenate, nearly smooth, cilia- 
ted at the base ; peduncles thriee the length of the 
leaves : capitula ovate discoid : achænia glabrous bald.

A widely distributed plant very common on the Neil- 
gherries. :: Zeg ار‎ 
This plant is scarcely distinguishable from S. oleracia 
except by the achænia which in this is glabrous in that 
ciliate on the margin. The analysis under B in the 
accompanying plate are those of S. oleracia taken from 
plants collected in Coimbatore, where, in cocoanut plan- 
tations, it is not unfrequent, showing that it is truly a 
native of India which D. C. questions. 
P. S.—Through some blunder on the part of the 
transferrer, the dissections of ۸. calva have been altoge- 
ther suppressed. Those on the plate all belong to 
S. oleracia, 
1110. Grossocanpra BoswALLEA (D. C.) a her- 
baceous diffuse many stemmed annual, with alternate 
pinnatifid leaves, linear at the base, and solitary capi- 
tula on short naked peduncles: flowers yellow.— 
D. €. 5. 631. 
The specimen figured is an unusually luxuriant one 
and does not give a very good idea of the plant, as usual- 
ly met with, growing in arid sterile pastures where it 
lies flat on the ground, spreading all round the root. 
I believe however that it is simply a luxuriant variety 
of the same species grown in more fertile cultivated soil. 
I have not met with it in the immediate vieinity of 
Coimbatore but it abounds at Ootaculmund, a village 
a few miles distant. 
1111. ARTIMESIA GLABRATA (Wall.) suffruticose, 
erect, the ramuli and younger leaves beneath subvillous, 
radical leaves, and the lower cauline ones stipellately 
cleft, lanceolato—cuniate, acutely trifid at the apex : 
racemes slender subsecund forming a panicle : capitula 
cernuous pedicelled smallish globose: scales ofthe in- 
voluerum ovate, margined, the interior ones with a 
membranaceous margin.— D. C. ያ. c. 6. 100. 
Very frequent on the Neilgherries flowering after the 
rains. Inferior leaves obovate cuniate deeply and coarse- 
ly toothed : the middle ones usually 3-5 parted, the mid- 
dle lobe larger more or less deeply 3 cleft, the outside 
ones subulate ; the upper floral leaves simple, lanceolate 
acute : anthers of the male flowers free. 
1112. ARTIMESIA Inprca (Willd.) suffruticose erect د‎ 
leaves greyish tomentose beneath ; the lower ones pinna- 
tifid, the middle trifid, the upper ones undivided and like 
the lanceolate lobes of the lower ones dentate or incised : 
capitula ovate racemosely panicled : panicle leafy 
spreading ; racemulæ before blooming pendulous : the 
young involucrum subtomentose, afterwards glabrous, 
the exterior scales foliaceous acute, interior membrana- 
ceous obtuse : corolla naked.— D. C. ፈ c. 6. 114. 
This isa common enough plant but, so far as I recol- 
lect, generally seen only about the habitations of men in 
gardens &c. apparently never under cultivation, but as 
if only allowed to remain by sufferance, not being con- 
sidered a weed. The only figure I can find is in Rump. 
Herb amb. 5. 91 & 2. 
1113. HELICHRYSUM BUDDLEIOIDES (D. C.) stem 
suffruticose erect ramous woolly towards the apex: 
leaves sessile ovate lanceolate acuminate entire, 7—9 
nerved, glabrous above whitish tomentose beneath : 
corymbs compound polycephalous at the apices of the 
stems and branches : capitule ovate, densely crowded : 
scales of the involucrum oval obtuse, about equal, a 
little longer than the disk.— D. C. l. c. 6. 201, ۰ 
A rather common plant on the Neilgherries forming 
dense clumps or bushes from 4 to 6 feet high. The 
white stems and undersurfaces of the leaves contrasting 
with green upper ones and large clusters of yellow 
flowers, render this a conspicuous plant. The leaves are 
from 3 to 4 inches long, 8-10 lines broad: receptacle ` 
alveolate shortly fimbrillate: flower of the outer series 
female or sterile, the rest hermaphradite: style and 
stamens included: pappus 1 series pilose scabrous: 
achenia glabrous. | Ce
