Shrubby. Leaves lanceolate^ serrate, hairy. Pedun- 

 cles axillary, solitary, length of the petioles, three-flow- 

 ered. Drupe t^ice two-lobed, hairy; nuts two-celled, 

 with one seed in each. 



A native of the interior parts of Bengal. It flowers dur- 

 ing the rains. 



Shrubby, erect, soon dividing into many, slender, eiL- 

 ])cinding branches ; yoiUHj shoots covered with much hair. 

 Leaves alternate, bifarious, short-petiolcd, lanceolate, 

 with the bases obliquely cordate, three nerved, serrate, 

 hairy on both sides, from three to six inches long, and 

 ;ibout one broad. Stipules subulate, hairy. Peduncles 

 axillary, solitary, rarely two in the same axill, about the 

 length of the petioles, three-flowered. Flowers small, 

 w hite when they first expand, afterwards becoming yellow. 

 Pedicels shorter than the peduncles. Bractes linear lan- 

 ceolate, hairy. Calyx ; leaflets lanceolate, expanding, hairy. 

 Petals scarce half the length of the calyx, lower half en- 

 larged and fringed with a gland on the centre. Filaments 

 many, shorter than the style. Germ elevated on a fleshy 

 receptacle, very hairy. Style cylindric. Stiyma two or 

 three-cleft ; segments pencil-formed. Drupe twice two- 

 lobed, hairy, of the size of a marrowfat pea. Nuts four, 

 each two-celled, with a single .seed in each cell. 



It difiers specifically from my hirsuta, the only species 

 known to me for which it can be mistaken, in having soli- 

 tary peduncles, two or three-cleft stigma, and nuts with 

 two cells. The leaves are also much longer and more 

 hairy, so is the whole plant.
