Nearly related to the preceding species, but clearly distinguished by the 
structure of the stipules, and the calyx spreading when in fruit, not closed, 
nor keeled as in that species.

1. F. rotundatum. 
Floribus parvis paniculato-racemosis, achenio trigono angulis rotundatis in 
parte superiori carinatis calyce 4—5-pld longiore faciebus oblongo-ovatis 
rugosis, foliis triangulari-hastatis paulo longioribus quàm latis petiolatis, 
caule erecto. 
Annual. Stem upright, hollow, slightly angular, downy on the side next to 
the leaves. Leaves stalked, triangular, hastate, rather longer than broad, 
their angles acute, and their nerves downy on both sides, the lower ones 
upon long stalks, downy above, the upper ones nearly sessile. Stipules 
short, with numerous simple nerves, and having two points on the side 
next to the leaf, between which they are divided nearly to their base. 
Flowers in alternate axillary panicled racemes, small, their pedicels 
not jointed. Fruit oblong-ovate, trigonous, the angles obtusely rounded 
and slightly keeled in their upper half, rugose, with a few longitudinal 
striæ on the mesial line of each face, 4 or 5 times as Jong as the calyx. 
This plant is distinguished at once from all its congeners by attending to 
the form of its fruit. 
Cultivated in the hills for food. Cheenee in Kunawur, September 8, during 
the rains.
