The acute and obtuse lobes occur on the same specimen, and even on the 
same leaf, so that there is no difference between F. trifida and V. triloba : the 
larger leaves are always more deeply lobed than the upper or smaller ones, 
whence we cannot separate either of these from Heyne's V. tomentosa. As 
to V. ternata, Heyne, it has a somewhat different aspect, but it really differs 
in no respect except in the more deeply divided leaves ; we have, therefore, 
also united it, the leaves in this section of the genus being very subject to 
vary.

Wall! L. n. 5995, c, d, and n. 5994, b, g, appear to us to belong to P. bar- 
bata, Wall. ! L. n. 5997 : as to n. 5994, d, it certainly is V. Indica. We have 
carefully examined Wall. L. n. 4994, a, e, f (the first of which letters, from 
Nepal, is supposed to be the type of V. rugosa, Wall.), but do not perceive 
that the petals, unless accidentally, separate before they fall off; whence we 
vannot avoid suspecting that the specimens from which Dr Wallich drew up 
description in his edition of Roxburgh's fl. Ind. 2. p. 480, are not — 
those noticed in his List: indeed his whole description, especially the “ co- 
rymb ovate, dense,” applies almost exactly to our V. tomentosa. We are 
ee about Wall. L. n. 5994, c, the specimen before us being very imper-

leaves cordate, scarcely angled or lobed, toothed, the teeth tipped with a 
ened gland; under side tomentose ; upper floccose, at length somewhat 
brous: racemes peduncled, cylindrical, composed of lateral umbels nearly 
sessile along the rachis : podobi cirrhiferous : flowers bisexual: petals dis-

concave : fruit globose, 1-2-seeded.— DC. prod. 1. p. 634 ; Spr. syst. 1. p. T 173

Calyx 5-cleft. Petals 5, combined at the base. Torus thin and fleshy, lining 
the tube of the calyx, bearing on the inside at its base around the ovary the co- 
rolla and a Stamen-tube. Tube or urceolus combined with the corolla at the 
> 5-lobed, with an external groove running down from each cleft ; lobes 
(sterile stamens) alternate with the segments of the corolla: filaments (fertile) 
combined with the back of the tube, free from the commencement of the 
grooves, alternate with its segments and opposite to the petals, inflected be- 
‘ween the Segments of the tube, and then bent downwards : anthers attached 
by their middle to the filaments, usually syngenesious or combined by their 
» Sometimes distinct. Ovary partly immersed in the torus, 6-celled: 
— Solitary in each cell, erect. Style and stigma simple. ad 3-6-celled.
