We consider the following to be Roxburgh's C. glauca. Roxburgh quotes 
under his C. cordata (in E. I. C. mus. tab. 1527.) the above synonym of 
Rheede, and that being the only authority for Cissus repens, Lam., Dr Wal- 
lich has called it V. repens (L. n. 5999, a !, with which his V. glauca, L. n. 
5990, g ! is identical) : but C. cordata, Roxb., we have not seen from the Pe- 
ninsula, and the figure of Rheede corresponds much better with what we call 
V. repens. As to V. repens, Wall. L. n. 5999. b! it belongs to V. adnata, and 
is precisely the same with his n. 5998. 4/ We may further remark, that V. — 
cordata, Wall. L. n. 6008, is different from any of the above ; and his b (with 
which n. 5998. f. (partly) is the same) is a distinct species from his a, and 
more allied to our F. glauca. 
415. (7) V. glauea (W. & A.:)glabrous; young shoots very glaucous: 
stems terete: stipules broadly reniform, glaucous: leaves broadly cordate, 
obtuse or shortly acuminated, entire or the large ones angled, with small 
bristly serratures: cymes compound, with 3-5-primary divisions ; ultimate 
branches umbellate : petals distinct: style slender: stigma slightly capitate: 
fruit globose (size of a pea), about 1-seeded.— Wight! cat. n. 418.—V. Klei-

The leaves become blackish in drying. 
416. (8) V. adnata (Wall.:) young parts densely pubescent: young shoots 
4-angled: stipules oval, adnate, with a flat gland in their lower half: leaves 
broadly cordate, acuminated, entire, with bristly serratures ; under side co- 
vered with dense and often rusty coloured tomentum ; upper at first pubes- 
cent, at length nearly glabrous: umbels peduncled, rays again umbelliferous : 
petals distinct: style as long as the ovary : stigma capitate: fruit (size of a 
pea) usually 1-celled: seeds usually solitary—Wall.! L. n. 5998; Wight!

We have examined Wallich's n. 5998, a, b, d, e, f (as to ** C. vitiginea ) 
and h, and find them to accord, although some of them have smaller and firm- 
er leaves, with less rusty pubescence than others : from a casual glance at 
other letters, we have every reason to think them also the same. To this spe- 
cies is closely allied the C. vitiginea of Willdenow in the Enum. hort. Berol, 
and of De Candolle ! and petam of Vahl, as well as of those botanists who 
are only acquainted with the cultivated plant of that name ; it, however, has 
much rounder and broader leaves than V. adnata ; we have not seen its fruit, 
nor, perhaps, does that described by Vahl belong to it. 
417. (9) V. Linnei (Wall. :) every part covered with a dense short to- 
mentum, except the old stems and the upper side of the leaves becoming at 
length nearly glabrous: stem and branches terete ; young shoots and pedun- 
cles compressed : stipules oval: leaves broadly cordate, from 5-angled with 
the upper angles slightly acute to deeply 5-lobed with the lobes ovate blunt- 
ish and the sinus rounded, closely serrated; serratures bluntish : inflorés- 
cence compound-umbellate or eymose, peduncled, about as long as the leaves; | 
pedicels in fruit recurved : petals distinet: style conspicuous, longish: fruit ; 
oblong, bluish, and glaucous.—Wall. ! L. n. 5987 ; Wight! cat. n. 420, 421: :

When the leaves are lobed with a broad sinus, there is usually a large tri 
angular tooth at the bottom of the sinus. This ap to be the true Lin- 
næan Cissus vitiginea ; and, we think, the description of the fruit in Vahl,
