 I am indebted to Mr. Griffith for my specimens. 



Itis with considerable diffidence I have adopted 

 the present in preference to Mr. Griffith's name, as 

 the two species seem very nearly allied if actually 

 distinct. F. (A.) setigera is said to have the leaves ellip- 

 tic-lanceolate attenuated, obtuse at the base, but in 



fruticose t leaves approximated, narrow lanceolate, 



serrated, acute, rigid, coriaceous, shining, shortly pe- 

 tioled : bracts coloured, subulate : racemes, axillary^ 

 few flowered : flowers withering, long pedicelled, whit* 

 ish green, — D. C Prod. 7, 558. 



Khasya, Griffith. 



A careful comparison of the specimens with 

 Royle's figure and with the character of the specie* 

 satisfies me that this is really his plant, in which caas 

 the analysis shows that it is a true Vaccinium and that 

 Dr. Lindley must have been led, by dissecting 

 mature fruit, into the supposition that it bad a 10 

 celled ovary. 



1185. Vaccinium (A.) venosum (R.W.) shrubs 



by, glabrous : branches terete : leaves and racemes 



verticillata, acute at the base ; that added to verticilla* congested on the ends of the^ ramuli : leaves subses- 

 tionis the principal character and they associate in ' 



the specimen before me. There is another point in 

 which the specimen agrees with the latter, the fila- 

 ments in it are glabrous while in setigera, they are said 



to be bearded. 



The magnified corolla is represented much too 

 hairy, an error entirely owing to the imperfection of 

 our lithography, for in the original drawing it is shown 

 Bcarcely even pubescent : some of the young unex.* 

 panded flowers have a few scattered hairs near the 

 point the expanded ones, unless when seen under a 



considerable magnifier, appear quite glabrous. 



1182. Vaccinium (A.) hirstJtum. 



sile, elliptic oblong, acute at the base, tapering to a 

 point, serrated, rigid, coriaceous ; veins above (when 

 dry) prominent with the interspaces somewhat buU 

 late : racemes, axillary, congested on the ends of ths 

 branches, about the length of the leaves: flowers 

 numerous, ovate, small, short pedicelled, with a mi- 

 nute subulate caducous bractea and 2 bracteoles : 

 calyx glabrous, lobes triangular : corolla slightlf 

 hairy within, filaments about half the length of tho 

 anthers : anther cells rough, without bristles, calcarate 

 at the base, stigma obtuse* 



Bootan, Griffith. 



A very distinct species easily recogniied' by hn 



W.) strongly veined somewhat bullate leaves, and nume* 



leaves elliptic-lanceolate, entire, glabrous or subpu- rous small flowers, leaves 3 to 3| inches long and 



bescent, racemes erect, corymbose, many flowered : 

 flowers tubular, long pedicelled : pedicels shorter than 

 the peduncles, slender and like the calyx and corolla, 

 hairy: filaments sbort, anthers pubescent, without 

 bristles, ending in two long tubes cohering nearly 



balf their length. .

introduce a figure of it, being so very distinct from leaves, many flowered, solitary, from the axils of th« 



all I have seen nor does it correspond with any de- tipper leaves : flowers drooping, short pedicelled, brae- 



about 1 broad, very rigid, flowers about 2^ line* 

 long, the pedicel about the same. The want of 

 bristles to the anthers places it near V, serratum, tha 

 spur to the anthers is peculiar.

This seems quite procumbent probably growing 

 like ivy on trees. The leaves are from 8 to 10 lines 

 long and balf as broad, ovate, or sometimes shghtly 

 cordate at the base when dry, somewhat corru^aed 

 on the surface, convex above, each ending m a bristle. 

 The dried calyx is brownish, scariose and translucent 

 when wetted, the lobes decurrent forming ^n«8 ^o
