ingly referred to it: if we be correct, Roxburgh, in his description and fi- 
, must have mistaken the elevated part of the torus for a large stigma. 
Phe eyes approach almost to the state of a panicle. Wallich does not seem 
to be acquainted with it. 
* 422. (14) V. elongata (Wall.:) glabrous: young shoots succulent, shin- 
ing: stipules small, cordate: leaves petioled, digitate ; leaflets 5, stalked, 
oblong-lanceolate, distantly serrated, glabrous on both sides: peduncles 
scarcely so long as the petiole: cymes compound, primary branches about 3: 
petals distinct: style conspicuous, slender: fruit (black, the size of a cher- 
ry,) turbinate-globose, 1-seeded.— Wall.! L. n. 6016.—C. elongata, Rowb.! fl.

Probably Roxburgh’s Coromandel specimens may belong to our last spe- 
cies, as none, that we know of, exist in any herbarium from the Peninsula. 
423. (15) V. muricata (Wall.:) unisexual, glabrous except the densely 
pubescent inflorescence: stem woody ; branches terete, with a rugulose, mu- 
ricated bark : leaves petioled, trifoliolate ; leaflets stalked, firm and somewhat 
coriaceous, distantly serrated (the serratures shallow, tipped with a hardened 
gland), oblong, acuminated; lateral ones broader, unequal-sided : umbels 
shortly peduncled, with bracteas at the base of the peduncle, axillary, not so 
long as the petiole, twice compound, with 3-5 primary branches: petals 
distinet: style very short, thick: stigma large, capitate, somewhat lobed: 
fruit globose (about the size of a cherry), 2-4-seeded.— Wall.! L. n. 6015; 
Wight! cat. n. 432.—V. lanceolaria, Wall.! L. n. 6013, e, i, and a spec. from 
Finlayson’s herb.—Rheed. Mal. 7. t. 8. 
Can this be a variety of V. lanceolaria ?

424. (16) V. lanceolaria (Wall.:) unisexual ; glabrous except the pubes- 
cent inflorescence: stem woody; branches terete, with a muricated bark: 
leaves petioled, pedate ; leaflets 5, stalked, oblong-lanceolate, between fleshy 
and coriaceous, distantly serrated (the serratures shallow, tipped a harden 
gland) ; outer ones of each of the lateral pairs unequal-sided : umbels shortly 
peduncled, with bracteas at the base of the peduncle, axillary, not so long as 
the petiole, twice compound, with 3-5 primary branches: petals distinct; 
style short, thick: stigma large, capitate, somewhat lobed : fruit nearl

We have not examined Wall. L. n. 6013. f, g; k has only 3 leaflets, and 
appears the same with V. angustifolia, Wall. L. n. 6033 ; the other letters we 
have referred to. 
425. (17) V. serratifolia (W. & A.:) glabrous: stem woody ; branches 
terete, with a smooth and slightly glaucous bark: leaves petioled, pedate; - 
leaflets 7, 3 on each of the lateral secondary petioles and one on the te , 
stalked, oblong-lanceolate, between fleshy and coriacious, distantly serrated 
(the serratures shallow, tipped with a hardened gland) : inflorescence short- 
ly peduncled, axillary, glabrous, with bracteas at the base of the peduncle— =

The only specimen of this we have seen resembles so much our C. Janet? 
laria, particularly Wight's eat. n. 433, that we could almost suppose it to x 
a luxuriant form of it: at the same time, it has more numerous leaflets, an! 
wants the little tubercles on the branches. É

also hairy: stipules cordate, acute: leaves petioled, pedate ; leaflets 7-11,
