122  AMPELID E. Lega. 
—Herbaeeous, shrubby, or slightly arborescent. Tendrils none. Leaves 
rarely simple, usually pinnate, or bi-tri-pinnate. 
— 435. (1) L. robusta (Roxb.:) shrubby ; young shoots harsh with a coarse 
short pubescence : leaves bi-tri-pinnate ; leaflets ovate-lanceolate, lateral ones 
with a broad cordate base, serrated, cuspidate, under side hairy: stipules 
villous, caducous : cymes supra-decompound, villous : stamen-tube urceolate, 
segments with a thin rounded apex; anthers linear-oblong, syngenesious.—

We have not seen this: a specimen now before us, so marked and trans- 
mitted by Dr Carey of Serampore; is certainly referable to L. Staphylea, Roxb. 
436. (2) L. integrifolia (Roxb.:) arborescent: leaves super-compound, 
lower pair of pinnæ bipinnate ; leaflets lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, acu- 
minated, quite entire or very slightly serrated ; upper side glabrous, under 
very slightly downy : corymbs super-decompound : tube of the corolla shorter 
than the calyx: stamen-tube cylindrical with the grooves running down almost 
to the line of union with the corolla; lobes emarginate: anthers oblong, 
pointed, syngenesious.—Roab. fl. Ind. 1. p. 659 ; (ed. Wall. ) 2. p. 412 ; Spr. 
syst. suppl. p. 10. Moist valleys among the Circars ; Roxburgh. 
With this also we-are unacquainted, nor is it in Dr Wallich's List. In 
both we have slightly altered Roxburgh’s character, as he evidently has ms- 
taken throughout the whole genus the external furrow or groove on the back 
of the stamen-tube for a continuation of the cleft. 
431. (3) L. Staphylea (Roxb.:) shrubby : branches terete, glabrous, not fur- 
rowed or very slightly so: leaves from compound to super-decompound ; 
leaflets from oblong with a shortish point to linear-lanceolate, with a long 
tapering point, coarsely serrated, glabrous on both sides: cymes super- 
decompound, glabrous or with the ultimate branches scabrous-pubescent : 
Stamen-tube urceolate, the external grooves disappearing above the line of 
union with the corolla ; lobes emarginate : anthers broadly oblong, syngene- 
sious. 
æ leaflets firm ; flowers larger ; stamen-tube conical-urceolate, coriace- 
ous, with the grooves disappearing about the middle.—(1) ; leaflets 
narrow-lanceolate, with a long taper-point.— Wight ! cat. n. 912.—

We feel quite certain that the narrow-leaved state is the plant of Roxburgh» 
and that our broad-leaved one is that of Rheede. Hamilton (Linn. 50°. 
Tr. 14. p. 226) considers Rheede’s plant to be different from Burmann's, and 
to be L. equata of Linn. ; and certainly a specimen of that species before u$; 
from the English gardens, seems noway distinct from the broad-leaved form 
of L. Staphylea: Linnæus, however, says that the true L. equata has pwr" 
cent stems. As to L. sambucina (Roxb. in E. I. C. mus. tab. 1873), we have 
not examined it, unless a species we have from the Mauritius, with the leaflets 
cordate at the base, be the same: De Candolle and most authors, ind: — 
give the Mauritius as a locality ; but we are inclined to suspect the Mauritius 
plant to be L. arborea, Telf., which Dr Wallich doubtfully refers to L. Sta- 
phylea (L. n. 6824, 7). Roxburgh gives no character to separate L. sambucina
