times truncated, folded round the flower and adhering 
to the pedicel. Disk flower larger subcampanulate, 
texture fragile, cellular cells quadrangular (much re- 
sembling those of the sheath of a plantain leaf.) 
1149. OLIGOLEPIS AMARANTHOIDES (R. W. Sph- 
ranthus amaranthoides Burm. Flora Ind. D. C. prod.) 
The specimens from which the drawing was made 
were somewhat deteriorated by age, and the analysis 
are not so complete as I could have wished, but enough, 
I think, is shown to prove that it is not a true congener 
of No. 1094. They were gathered many years ago 
in rice fields near the sea coast at Negapatam.

1150. CYATHOCLINE LUTEA (Law’s Mss.) leaves 
nearly allradicle minute (mossy looking) sub-bipinnatifid 
pubescent: stems slender, erect, dichotomously branch- 
ed, cften with a capitulum in the fork, and one to three 
on the ends of the branches: flowers yellow. 
Tannah district near Bombay, (Law.)— The whole 
plant rarely exceeds 3-4 inches in height but often 
bears 10 or 12 rather large capitula. It is a most dis- 
tinct species boih by habit and colour of the flowers, 
1151. (A.) Doronicum TOMENTOSUM (R. W.) stem 
herbaceous erect subtomentose, at first simple, leafy, 
afterwards corymbosely branched ; ramuli nearly nak- 
ed : leaves rouzh, lower ones, elliptic tapering to the 
base: upper ones subovate-lanceolate, auricled and sub- 
amplexicaul, coarsely and unequally dentate, rough and 
slightly araniose above, densely white tomentose beneath: 
corymbs lax peduncles bractiolate : ligule about 14 
sterile, disk flowers numerous 5 cleft : pappus setaceous 
hispid: achenium costate hairy. 
North western slopes of the Neilgherries by the road 
side flowering September and October. Flowers yel- 
low, ligule linear 4 nerved 3 toothed: stigmas want- 
ing, or 2 lobed when present, apparently sterile disk 
flowers bisexual 5 cleft, tubular pappus nearly as long 
as the corolla silaceous rough: acheenium linear costate 
hispid on the ribs. 
1151. (B.) Doronicum RETICULATUM (R. W.) 
Herbaceous, erect, ramous, stem and branches glabrous : 
leaves somewhat rhomboidal, coarsely and unequally 
dentate, teeth mucronate ; rough and araniosely pube- 
scent above, tomentose between the veins beneath, veins 
glabrous : capitula laxly corymbose, longish pedicelled ; 
bracts subulate : ligule 10-12 sterile, throat hairy with- 
in, pappus none ; disk flowers numerous, tube contract- 
ed, throat dilated, campanulate : pappus paliaceous his- 
pid achenium ribbed conical hairy. : 
Tannah district Bombay, (Law.) The difference of 
the shape of the pappus and corolla of this species 
seems to indicate that it might, were I so disposed, be 
made to form the type of a new genus, but such ap- 
pears to me a most unnecessary refinement, the essential 
character of Doronicum ‘ ray flowers bald, disk ones 
crowned with pappus’—being here well marked the par- 
ticular kind of pappus and shape of the corolla then 
form excellent specific characters. Both these species 
are referable to DeCandolle’s genus Madaractis which 
however is not distinct from Doronicum. 
MADACARPUS (R. W.) 
Gen. Cmar. Capitula radiate heterogamous. Ray 
flowers 1 series sterile: disk ones numerous hermaphro- 
dite. Achænia beakless, oblong, furrowed; without 
pappus.—Herbaceous plants, capitula corymbose : 
involucrum campanulate 1 series, scales linear lanceo- 
late mucronate: receptacle convex, foviolate : corolla 
subinfundebuliform coste of the Achenium hispid.—

BELGAUM —J. S. Law, Esq 一 I am indebted to Mr. 
Law for my specimens of this plant which in habit so 
much resembles Dor. reticulatum that it was at first 
mistaken for that plant. Annual, erect, hirsute, leaves 
ovate crenate-dentate, auricled at the buse, pubescent 
above, tomentose beneath. Capitula corymbose, scales 
of the involucrum cohering at the base, linear, mucro- 
nate: receptacle conical foviolate : ligule about 8, 4 
nerved, style and stigma none: disk flowers tubular 
infundibuliform 5 cleft segments with a distinct mid 
rib: anthers ecaudate, stigmas recurved truncated : 
achenia 10-nerved nerves hispid : pappus none.

GEN. CHAR. Flowers bisexual, calyx small, un- 
changed. Petals4-5. Stamensas many, alternate with

pendage.—Inflorescence terminal.—Benth. Lin. Tr.

1153. Aropyres BENTHAMIANA (R. W.) leaves 
elliptic obtuse at both ends: panicles terminal, con- 
tracted, rigid, shorter than the leaves, style straight 
scarcely excentric: fleshy appendage of the drupe 
scutelliform,—R. W. MSS. 
Neilgherries rare. A single tree observed in the woods 
near the top of the Hills behind the Avalanche Bunga- 
low—flowering in February. Shevagherry August. 
Arboreous, ramuli terete glabrous: leaves alternate, 
exstipulate, coriaceous, glabrous, oblong elliptic, obtuse 
at both ends from 33 to 4 inches long, including the 
petiole, by 13 broad. Panicles terminal, rigid, shorter 
than the leaves: Bracts minute or wanting: flowers 
white, 3 lines long, calyx minute 5-toothed : petals ellip- 
tic inflexed at the point, stamens length of the petals ; 
anthers linear obtuse, longer than the filaments, adnate : 
ovary free hairy ovate 1-celled with 2 lateral superposed 
ovules : style slightly lateral straight : stigma truncated : 
drupe semiovate, reniform, crowned with the persistent 
base of the style and furnished with a lateral scutelli- 
form appendage one-seeded : seed pendulous obovate 
cuniate compressed: embryo minute in the apex of a 
large albumen radicle next the hilum. 
1154. 工 EEA MACROPHYLLA (Roxb.) stem herbace- 
ous erect angled, petioles and leaves glabrous: leaves 
simple broad cordate, dentato-serrated: cymes large 
terminal; berry, black succulent six or more celled ; 
cells 1-seeded. : 
Walliar jungles, between Coimbatore and Paulghaut 
abundant, flowering during the rains. Leaves nearly 
orbicular, when full grown from 12 to 18 inches in 
diameter, traversed by numerous large prominent veins. 
DeCandolle quotes Roxburgh for this species, but 
must have had a wrong plant before him when he de- 
fined it, as he describes the leaves as pinnated.

subarboreous : leaflets alternate 7-13 ovate oblong 
acuminate, glabrous above, pubescent beneath: stipules
