Lormithllfl. PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 549 



Hind, and Beng, Bura-manda. 



Yellinga-wadinika of the Telingas; (wadinika means pa- 

 rasitical.) 



Is always found growing- upon the brandies of various 

 kinds of trees, and is very ramous. Flmcers during the 

 greatest part of the year, and is highly ornamental. 



Trunk scarcely any. Branches numerous, ascending, 

 woody ; bark gray. Leaves nearly opposite, sessile, or very 

 short-petioled, from oval to linear-lanceolate, waved, entire, 

 reclined, veins scarcely any; from three to five inches long, 

 and from half an inch to an inch and a half broad. Racemes 

 axillary, single, simple, sub-erect, many-flowered. Flowers 

 in size and appearance very much like those of the honey- 

 suckle. Bractes, a small, concave, cordate one, pressing on 

 the base of the germs od one side. Calyx, there is no other 

 perianth of the fruit than the above-mentioned bracte; that 

 of the (lower i> cup-shaped, entire, permanent. Corol one- 

 petal led. Tube long, a little curved, swelling from the bot- 

 tom to within a third of the mouth, then contracting a little ; 

 harder five-parted, up per fissures much the deepest; segments 

 linear, reflexed towards one side. Filaments five, from the 

 base of the segments of the corol, short. Anthers linear. 

 Germ inferior, naked. Style length of the corol. Stigma 

 clubbed. Berry inferior, crowned with the remaining calyx, 

 oblong, smooth, pulpy, one-celled. Seeds single. 



Ob». This is a handsome looking parasite, bearing a great 

 number of very beautiful flowers; its foliage also looks very 

 we% All that part of the branch of the tree above where it 

 grows, becomes sickly and soon perishes. 



It should be compared with L. longiflorns. It differs 

 from Gartner's Lonicera zeylanica in not having the calyx 

 of the fruit, and in having only five parts in the corol ; but 

 in the racemes they agree. I cannot reconcile it with L.fal- 



all parasitic plants. It is probable that all the names here cited 



are so. — W. C
