L.n. 1075. a-d ; Wight! cat. n. 282; Lam. ill. t. 400. J. 2.—T. Bartramia,

t, 41. f. 5. 
Fruit small, about the size of a vetch-seed. If Wallich’s No. 1075. f. be- 
long also to this species, then the flowers are sometimes pentandrous. We 
do not know his No. 1075. g. from the Madras herbarium. 
273. (4) T. glabra (Herb. Miss.!:) stems herbaceous, pubescent: leaves 
Serrated, roundish, scarcely cordate, cuspidately 3-lobed, nearly quite gla- 
brous: peduncles by the abortion of the upper leaves arranged in a longish 
terminal interrupted raceme: calyx apiculate: stamens numerous (30-35) ; 
filaments glabrous: fruit slightly hairy ; prickles slightly ciliated to above 
the middle.—Spr. syst. 2. p. 450; Wight ! cat. n. 283. Balticalo; Rottler. 
Fruit nearly the size of a small cherry. 
214. (5) T. rotundifolia (Lam.:) stems herbaceous, pubescent: leaves 
roundish, unequally and deeply toothed ; upper side nearly glabrous, under 
tomentose: peduncles by the abortion of the upper leaves arranged in a long 
interrupted raceme: calyx apiculate: stamens numerous (15-25) ; filaments 
glabrous: fruit densely pubescent ; prickles slightly pubescent or nearly gla- 
brous.— Lam. enc. meth. 3. p. 421; DC. prod. 1. p. 506; Spr. syst. 2. p. 451;

P. 506; Spr. syst. 2. p. 451.—T. orbiculata, Wall.! L. n. 1076. 
275. (6) T. neglecta (W. & A. :) annual, erect, branched : stem roughish : 
leaves roundish, 3-5-nerved at the base, 3-5-lobed, irregularly toothed, pu- 
scent on both sides; upper leaves attenuated at both ends, upper side - 
hairy,-under tomentose : peduncles lateral and opposite to the leaves, bear- 
ing several flowers, sometimes by the abortion of the leaves arranged in an 
interrupted raceme: calyx apiculate: stamens 5-8, filaments hairy on the 
ope : fruit hairy, 2-4-celled, cells 1-seeded ; prickles ciliated.— Wight ! cat. 
n. 284, 
The above character is taken from a description made by Dr Wight on the 
Spot, who likewise observed that, in some flowers, the calyx resembled an 
involucrum, and the corolla a calyx covered with stellate tomentum. 
T276. (7) T.? microphylla (W. & A.:) stems herbaceous, erect, branched, 
glabrous: leaves oblong-lanceolate, entire, sharply serrated, glabrous: pe- 
auncles bearing 1-3-flowers, opposite? to the leaves: stamens 5-8.— Wight ! 
cat. n. 99]. 
The specimens before us are in a state of monstrosity: the calycine seg- 
Ments are united into a tubular, or sometimes urceolate, 5-apiculate floral 
covering or involucrum, similar to what Dr Wight observed in the last spe- 
265: the stamens are in some flowers converted into 5 large glands ; in others 
there are from 5 to 8, assuming their proper appearance, but destitute of pol- 
‘en : in some flowers petals are present, in others absent: in some the ovarium 
» Converted into an infundibuliform corolla, with a long tube, and a limb of 
anceolate acuminate segments; while in others it resembles an oblong, 
angled ovary, We think, however, that it is a species of Triumfetta: it 
Vas sent formerly to Dr Wallich as a doubtful Mahernia, but we do not ob- 
Serve it noticed in his list.

Calyx 5-sepaled, deciduous : sepals coriaceous, coloured on the inner side.
