265. (3) C. urticefolius (W. & A.:) annual: leaves ovate-acuminated, 
slightly cordate at the base: peduncles 2-3-flowered, opposite to the leaves: 
capsules declinate, equal, 3-angled, scabrous, about 12 times longer than 
broad, rostrate and entire at the point, 3-celled, 3-valved: seeds numerous, 
with nearly perfect transverse septa.— Wight! cat. n. 276.—C. olitorius, 
Wall.! L. 1072. f. (partly). 
Most allied to C. trilocularis, but apparently quite distinct by the capsule 
_ being twice as short, in proportion to the breadth. 
266. (4) C. olitorius (Linn.:) annual: leaves ovate-acuminated : peduncles 
1-2-fiowered: capsules nearly cylindrical, 10-ribbed, 6-8 times longer than 
broad, glabrous, rostrate with ‘sometimes 5 terminal points, 5-celled, 5- 
valved: seeds numerous, with nearly perfect transverse septa.—Gert. fr. 
t. 64; DC. prod. 1. p. 504; Spr. syst. 2. p. 583; Lam. ill. t. A78. f. 1; Roxb.

The Linnean plant has usually 1-flowered peduncles ; in C. decemangularis, 
Roxb., they are generally 2-flowered, but we do not consider the character 
permanent. We have referred here the synonym of Plukenet, although he 
Says “ capsula sextuplici," probably meaning six cells ; it cannot be C. æs- 
fuans, Linn., under which it is usually quoted. 
267. (5) C. tridens (Linn.:) annual: leaves cuneate-oblong, linear, or 
lanceolate: peduncles 1—4-flowered: capsules slender, 20-30 times longer 
than broad, glabrous or slightly scabrous, 2-3-valved, 2-3-celled, rostrate ; 
the beak 2-3-cleft, segments patent: seeds numerous in each cell, erect, 
without transverse septa.—z; leaves lanceolate acuminated.— Wight! cat. n. 
271, 273.— C. tridens, DC. prod. 1. p. 505; Spr. syst. 2. p. 583; Wall. L. n. 
1073.— Pluk. t. 197. f. 4.—6; leaves linear-oblong or linear-lanceolate.—

Wall.! L. n. 1070. c.—C. trilocularis, Burm. Ind. t. 37. f. 2.—y; leaves ob- 
long or obovate, cuneate at the base.— Wight! cat. n. 270, 280. ; 
ery variable, and not uncommon in the Peninsula, but not noticed by 
Roxburgh in his Flora Indica. z 
_ 268. (6) C. acutangulus (Lam. :) annual: leaves ovate: peduncles oppo- 
site to the leaves, 1-2-flowered : capsules prismatical, straight, glabrous, 
stout, about 10 times longer than broad, 6-angled with 2-3 of the angles 
winged, 3-celled, truncate with 3-5 divarieating entire or bifid horns: seeds 
numerous in each cell, with the transverse septa nearly obsolete.—2 C. prod. 
l. p. 505; Spr. syst. 2. p. 583; Wall.! L. n. 1069; Wight! eat. n. 272, 279.—

gus, Roxb. fi.. Ind. 2. p. 582.—C. testuans, Gertn. fr. t. 64.—Pluk. t. 44. 
We can see no difference between specimens in Mr Arnott's herbarium 
from St Domingo (gathered by Bertero, and described by De Candolle), or 
from Demerary (gathered by C. S. Parker, Esq.), and those from East India. 
269. (7) C. capsularis (Linn.:) annual: leaves oblong acuminated: cap- 
es globose, truncated, wrinkled and muricated, 5-celled ; seeds few in 
each cell, without transverse septa.—DC. prod. 1. p. 505; Spr. syst. 2. p $
