IuPATIENS. : BALSAMINE Æ. 197 
nate, roundish-oval, sometimes slightly cordate, remotely bristle-serrated ; 
upper side with a few scattered hairs, under glaucous: pedicels axillary, 
usually solitary, longer than the petioles, hairy, in fruit deflexed: flowers 
glabrous, minute, spurless: stigmas combined: capsule small, ventricose, 
few-seeded.— Wall.! L. n. 4744.—1. scabriuscula, Wall.! L. n. 4736 (partly.) 
Allied to the preceding in the spurless flowers, but differing in having 
them much smaller and glabrous. It has considerably the habit of T. 
s sd but is distinguished from it also by the small inconspicuous 
owers. 
447. (6) I. mysorensis (Roth.:) stems simple, slender, erect: leaves alter- 
nate, lanceolate, acuminated at both ends, glabrous: pedicels axillary, fili- 
form, in pairs, about half the length of the leaves: flowers small, longer than 
the straight spur: capsule densely pubescent, few-seeded.—Roth. nov. sp. 
p. 164; Spr. syst. 1. p. 807; Wall.! L.n.4743.c.; Wight! cat. n. 979.— 
Balsamina mysorensis, DC. prod. 1. p. 686. ; 
A slender delicate species, approaching T. Kleinii and T. oppositifolia in 
habit, but easily distinguished by the alternate leaves. 
§ 2. Leaves alternate; peduncles with several flowers. 
448. (7) I. umbellata (Heyne:) erect: leaves alternate, crowded towards 
the apex of the stem, obovate, obtuse, remotely crenate ; upper side sparing- 
ly hairy ; under glaucous: peduncles about the length of the leaves, bearing 
4-5 shortly pedicellate flowers near the apex: flowers large, with a long ta- 
he spur.—Heyne! in Roxb. fl. Ind. (ed. Wall.) 2. p. 464; Wall.! 
. n. 4757. 
449. (8) I. grandis (Heyne :) erect, nearly glabrous, leaves alternate on 
long glanduliferous petioles, broadly ovate-lanceolate, acuminated, with re- 
mote incurved bristle-serratures : peduncles shorter than the leaves, 3-4- 
owered : flowers large, with a very long tapering conical spur.—Heyne! in 
Roxb. fl. Ind. (ed. Wall.) 2. p. 464; Wall.! L. n. 4759. ; 
. 450. (9) I. fruticosa (DC.:) erect, branched: stems glabrous, glaucous: 
leaves alternate, long-petioled ; upper side hairy, particularly on the veins ; 
under tomentose : petioles villous, glanduliferous: peduncles glabrous, shorter 
than the leaves, dividing into several long 1-flowered pedicels: flowers shorter 
than the spur: lateral sepals large, concave, roundish-ovate, acuminated : 
filaments united at the apex : stigmas combined : capsule glabrous, tapering at 
both ends.—DC. prod. 1. p. 687 ; Spr. syst. 1. p. 808 ; Wall.! L. n. 4762; 
Wight! cat. n. 450.—I. cornuta, var. 2. Moon? cat. Ceyl. pl. p. 18.—Balsa- 
mina fruticosa, Lesch ! 
451. (10) I. scapiflora (Heyne:) glabrous : root tuberous: leaves radical, 
oscula; day nie vof date Jr lobes overlapping, coriaceous ; under 
side paler, marked with numerous coloured nerves : scape E a many- 
flowered raceme, bracteated : pedicels alternate, solitary from each bractea, 
ae in fruit becoming deflexed : lateral sepals ovate, small: spur some- 
times tumid and inflated, sometimes much elongated : petals 2-lobed j pos- 
terior lobe small; anterior elongated, projecting forward.—Heyne! in Roxb. 
Al. Ind. (ed. Wall.) 2. p. 464; Wall. ! L. n. 4758; Wight! cat. n. 446.—1. bul- 
bosa, Moon. cat. Ceyl. pl. p. 18. x 
Strictly speaking, the scape ought to be viewed as a stem and the bractea 
as leaves, so that the pedicels are as truly axillary and single-flowered as 
those of the former section: it is unlike any other species, and we place it 
here, as the inflorescence would be considered as a scape by most botanists. 
The anthers are united with a ring round the stigma, are each 2-celled, and 
Open transversely. We hope ere long to have it in our power to point cha- 
Tacters sufficient for its separation from the genus.
