distance from the next pair ; the stem is nearly simple, and the root does not 
seem to creep: we are therefore doubtful if A. densifiora be the same or not. 
t 937. (4) A. densiflora (Roth :) stems ascending, branched, creeping at 
the base : leaves sessile, lincar-lanceolate, rather cordate at the base: branches 
all densely beset with flowers from the base so as to appear spiked: floral 
leaves recurved: flowers axillary, sessile: petals 5, obovate.—Roth, nov. sp. 
p.99; DC. prod. 3. p. 79. 
Subgen. 3. Calyx 4-cleft to the middle; lobes triangular, acute ; accessory 
teeth minute, little more than mere callous points. Stamens 4, scarcely ex- 
ceeding the segments of the calyx. Ovary 2-celled. Capsule longer than 
the calyx, 1-celled, bursting transversely and irregularly.—Flowers minute.— 
Hapalocarpum. 
938. (5) A. glauca (Wall. :) leaves glaucous, linear-oblong ; floral ones re- 
flexed: flowers numerous in the axils of the leaves, forming a dense sessile 
verticil: calyx cup-shaped : petals wanting: style short—Wall.! L.n. 2100: 
Wight! cat. n. 1022. 
939. (6) A. vesicatoria (Roxb. :) stem much branched: leaves lanceolate, 
attenuated towards the base: flowers very minute, aggregated in the axils of 
the leaves, almost sessile : calyx-tube at first narrow and tightened round the 
ovary, in fruit cup-shaped ; limb much wider than the tube: petals wanting: 
style short.—Rowb. fl. Ind. 1. p. 426 ; (ed Wall.) 1. p. 447 ; in E. I. C. mus. 
tab. 35 ; DC. prod. 3. p. 78; Spr. syst. 1. p. 444; Wall.! L. n. 2098 ; Wight!

. The above character is from what’ we consider the type of the species, but 
it must be confessed that sometimes the pedicels become elongated, and form 
a small corymb, when it is impossible to distinguish it satisfactorily from the- 
next species. 
940. (7) A. Indica (Lam.:) leaves lanceolate, attenuated towards the base: 
flowers very minute, in axillary short peduncled lax corymbs, petals wanting: 
style short.— DC. prod. 3. p. 17 ; Wall.! L. n. 2099 ; Wight! cat. n. 1024. 
, Perhaps A. baccifera of Linnsus ought to be referred here. The figure 
given by Burmann (fl. Ind. t. 15. f. 3, 4) is probably from small specimens, 
of which we have some before us agreeing very well with the figure as to 
size; but Burmann has represented the flowers in sessile dense; verticels as 
in A. vesicatoria. It is difficult to say what A. baccifera of Roth is. 
941. (8) A. multiflora (Roxb. :) leaves linear, auricled at the base, sessile : 
piscine axillary, with the pedicels about as long as the floral leaves, 1-7- 
usually 3-) flowered: flowers minute: calyx-tube at first narrow, after- 
wards cup-shaped: petals 4, roundish: style filiform, as long as the ovary.

Subgen. 4. Calyx campanulate, 5-cleft: lobes triangular: sinus with a su- 
bulate accessory process. Petals 5. Stamens 5, the length of the calyx. 
Ovary 3-celled. Style shortish, filiform. Capsule 3-valved, imperfectly 3- 
celled, septifragal.—Flowers minute, with two subulate bracteoles as long as 
the calyx.— T'ritheca. 
942. (9) A. pentandra (Roxb.:) leaves from linear-lanceolate to linear- 
oblong : So gu incl is cuni Bee fe petals 5, twice the length of the 
calycine segments, obovate, sometimes entire but usually emarginate or 3- 
toothed.— Roxb. fl. Ind. 1. p. 427 ; (ed Wall.) 1. p. 448 ; in E. I. C. mus. tab.
