V. glaberrima, Wall.! L. n. 5991, differs from this in the shape of the leaves. 
We allude to his specimens from “ Singapore ;” for as to some mixed with ` 
them from <“ Penang," they havé the stem bluntly angled, and are more al- 
lied to V. inequalis, although quite distinct also from it.

stipules oblong : leaves cordate-roundish, shortly acuminated, entire, repand- 
toothed or serrated; young ones tomentose, particularly on the under side: ` 
tendrils none: umbels compound, peduncled: petals falling off lesa ng

Perhaps Dr Wallich was correct in uniting this with the last, but the inflo- 
fy cece appears very different. Both, as well as that which follows, have 
the leaves of a pe or whitish green when dried, and were, perhaps, all unit- 
ed by Roxburgh under his C. vitiginea, Can this be a state of V. Linnei 
growing in wet places ?

Pitate: fruit globose, about 1-seeded.— Wight! cat. n. 965.—V. glauca, Wall.!
