The present specimen is not normal ; the branching is owing 

 to the accidental stopping of the growth of the main axis. 



I saw a specimen of this species (Henry, no. 3229) kept in 

 the herbarium of our Botanical Institute, and it is quite iden- 

 tical with my specimen. However, both specimens somewhat 

 deviate from the original description in minute points. F'or 

 instance, veins are described as inconspicuous and subobsolete, 

 but in my specimen they are rather conspicuous underneath. 

 Raj'-flowers are described as rosy or purplish, but in my speci- 

 men thc}^ are wTiitlsh in dry state. The largest of corymbs is 

 described as 8 inches across, but they are half as large in my 

 specimen.
