A 



liro. Lobelia trigon^a- (Itoxh.) glabrous, 

 branches diffuse, erect, or ascending and like the 

 Btems trigonous : leaves subsessile ovate subcordate 

 repandly dentate, teeth mucronulate r pedicels slen- 

 der, longer than the leaves, bibractiolate at the base : 

 tube of the calyx ol>conical, lobes linear, acumin* 

 nate about the length of the tube : corolla small gla- 

 brous^ longer than the ealyx : anthers enclosed, all 



corolla.— D. C. Prod. 7 — 381. 



Very common on the Neilgberries. A tall ungainly 

 looking plant, flowering during the rains, from May' 

 to September but to be met with in flower at all sea^ 

 sons. The stems are annual but the roots seem peren* 

 nea],- The stems are currently met with from 6 to 8 

 feet high, but may often be seen from 10 to 12 feet, 

 flowers pale yellowish tinged with liluce^. pubescent, 



than half superior*- 



bearded at the apex : capsule obovoid.— D. C. Prod.y 1175. Wahlenbeuoia aoerstis. (Alph. D.C.) 



stem erect, ramous from the base, pilose below ; low- 

 er leaves approximated, narrow linear nearly entire, 

 undulated on the margin ; peduncles usually dicho- 

 tainous with very short bracts ; tube of the calyx 

 glabrous obovoid, shorter than the erect linear nar*

 only slightly pubescent r stem and branches terete :-

 the pedicels; upper ones shorter or altogether want- 

 ing : pedicels ebractiolate : calyx tube subglobose, 

 lobe^^ of the limb lanceolate, serrated, about the length 

 of the tube of the corolla: lateral lobes of the corolla 

 deeply cleft, narrow linear acuminate, middle ones 

 shorter, broader, lanceolate % anthers clothed with 

 short bristly hairs, the lower pair slightly pinicellate. 



Sisparah on the Western slopes of the Neilgberries 

 flowering from January to April. A large sized her- 

 baceous annual from 4 to 6 feet high, ramous from 

 near the base. Lower leaves from 10 to 12 inches 

 long and about 3 broad, acuminated. Flowers white, 

 thelobes of the corolla tipped with rose. I have speci- 

 mens of what appears to be a variety with glabrous 

 anthers arid the corolla less deeply divided. 



Neilgberries frequent, in flower at nearly all seasons, 

 flowers pale blue. I am not quite sure that this is 

 identical with the Nepaul plant or rather, whether 1 

 ought not to have viewed this as W. Indica rather 

 than the following which is a much less common 

 plant on the hills and is perhaps a new species. If 

 however this is W. Indica, then it seems probable the 

 two species ought to be united as this corresponds 

 well will with the character in all except in the station.

stem ramous below and like the leaves pilose : leaves 

 linear entire acuminate : peduncles 1 flowered glab- 

 rous : calyx glabrous, tube ovoid, lobes narrow acute : 

 corolla tubular about a half longer than the calyx, 

 capsule obconical, — Z>. C. Prod. 7. 434. 



Neilgberries in moist pasture land. In the opera- 

 tion of transfer this figure has been represented much 

 too hairy, in the original it was delicately pilose. On 

 this account it would probably have been better to 

 have suppressed the figure, but it is hoped this ex- 

 planation will suffice to correct the error of the ex- 

 istence of which I was not aware until the whole im"- 

 pressionhad been printed oflT. 



1172. Lobelia aromatica. (Moon's Cal.) 1177^ Campanui^a Alphonsii. (Wall.) de- 



stem simple, erect, terete, glabrous at the base, tomen- cumbent one-flowered : 

 tose above : leaves subsessile lanceolate acuminated, 

 finely glanduloso-serrated, villous on both sides : 

 racemes terminal, spicate many flowered; bracts foli- 

 aceous denticulate : pedicels ebractiolate and like the 



yx and corolla tomentose ; calyx tube hemispheri- 

 cal ; lobes subulate, subdenticulate, about l-3d the 

 length of the corolla: lateral lobes of the corolla 

 Ifrte'ar acute, central ones cohering : two inferior an- 

 thers pinicellate, all otherwise glabrous.

This species seems intermediate between L. exeelsa species 



pubes 



cauline 



leaves sessile, subJanceolate acute, denticulate, pilose 

 above, incanous beneath : calyx pubescent, divl* 

 sions acute serrated or sometimes lobed, about half the 

 length of the campanulate puberulous corolla. D.C 

 Prod. 7 ^^73. (very slightly altered.) 



Neilgberries forming dense tufts in clefts of rocks. 



The specimen represented is very diflferent from 

 the one described by D. C. though unquestionably 

 the same species, I have therefore in the character 

 ventured to make one or two slight alterations but 

 I suspect scarcely enough to give a correct idea of the 



both by its tomentose racemes and flowers, and want 

 of bracteoles. 



1173.4. Lobelia EXCELSA. (Lescli.) stem very 

 large herbaceous erect : leaves lanceolate, shortly pe- 

 tioled, narrow at the base, acuminate, denuculate, 

 puberulous above, tomentose beneath : racemes folia- 

 ceous pubescent, many flowered : bracts long acumi- 

 nate fflanduloso-denticulate, twice the length of the 

 pedicels : lobes of the calyx erect, linear lanceolate, 

 denticulate, thrice the length of the hemispherical tube; 



1178. Campanula ramulosa. (Wall.) stem 

 erect, pilose, ramous : leaves lanceolate sessile, crenatp- 

 dentate, veins prominent beneath : pedicel* axil- 

 lary and terminal : calyx pilose, lobes broad acute 

 6ub-deulate about half the length of the cylindrical 

 villous corolla : capsule turbinate drooping. D. C.

Neilgberries, in woods and about hedges in shady 

 places. The original specimens of this species were 

 from Nepaul but so far as character enables me to 

 decide the Southern plant does not diflfer.
