350 CUCURBITACE Æ. CUCURBITA. 
1093. (3.) T. anguina (Linn. :) annual, climbing: leaves more or less 5- 
lobed : tendrils 3-fid : male flowers in a long peduncled raceme, with small 
entire bracteas at the base of the pedicels ; female solitary on a short peduncle 
from the same axils with the male: fruit spindle-shaped.— DC. prod. 3. p. 
314; Spr. syst. 3. p. 17 ; Lam. ill. t. T94 ; Roxb. fl. Ind. 3. p. 701; Wall.! L.

to Lamarck).— Rumph. Amb. 5. t. 148. 
1094. (4) T. cucumerina (Linn.:) annual, climbing: leaves broadly cor- 
date, 3—7-angled or lobed, toothed or serrated, pubescent or glabrous: ten- 
drils 3-cleft: male flowers shortly racemose at the apex of a. long peduncle; 
female solitary, short-peduncled, often from the same axils with the males: 
fruit ovate, pointed.— Roa. fl. Ind. 3. p. 702 ; Wall.! L. n. 6690.—z ; leaves 
angled, repandly toothed.— Wight! cat. n. 1133.— T. cucumerina, Linn. ;

Rheed. Mal. 8. t. 15.—8 ; leaves lobed, lobes obovate or rounded, toothed.— 
Wight ! cat. n. 1134.—T. laciniosa, herb. Madr. s Rottl.! ; Klein in Wilid. sp. 
4. p. 601; DC. l. c. ; Spr. l. c.—y; leaves lobed, lobes acute or acuminated, 
serrated.— Wight ! cat. n. 1135. 
There appear to be many gradations between these two varieties. We 
have some doubts if T. lobata, Roxb. (in E. I. C. mus. tab. 992), be not 
another form of this species: it only differs from our var. £, by the fruit being 
linear-oblong and pointed, not ovate. 
Subgen. 2. Invorvcraria.—Bracteas on the male racemes large, foliaceous, 
many times longer than the very short pedicels. Filaments 3-adelphous. 
Anthers syngenesious, very anfractuose. 
1095. (5) T. palmata (Roxb.:) perennial, climbing: leaves palmately- 
lobed, toothed, with usually a few flat glands scattered on the under side: 
tendrils 3-cleft: male-flowers racemose, with a large ovate or obovate cut 
and toothed bracteole at the base of each very short pedicel; female solitary 
in the same axils as the male, or occasionally racemose: calyx-segments 
ovate, deeply toothed or serrated: fruit globose: seeds pretty numerous, 
oblong, compressed.—« ; leaves glabrous, sometimes slightly scabrous, deep- 
ly lobed; the lobes sometimes again lobed and with the segments narrow linear- 
lanceolate.—Wight! cat. n. 1136.—5 ; leaves glabrous or „slightly scabrous, 
palmately lobed ; lobes broad-lanceolate or oblong, entire or again lobed.—

„It is not improbable that Znvolucraria Wallichii, Ser., belongs to this spe- 
cies; the specimen is obviously very little advanced, the flowers not being 
expanded, and in that state the calyx appears sometimes as if quite entiré : 
the peduncle, however, of the female flower, if intended for our plant, 1s re- 
presented too long,

united with each other.—Marr. Calyx campanulate. Stamens 5, triadel--
