H. Andamanica, Kz. The Andanians. Kamorta.

 Capsule more or less compressed and winged, the crowning lobes nearly a line long. 



A branched vai-iety of this has the capsules more compressed and more keel- 

 winged and the calyx-teeth still larger. As a species it is allied to H. lanccafolia, 

 Dalz., and II. alata, L. (Kurz). 



** Capsules openiny septicidally.

Capsule opening septicidally at tlie apex by a gaping short slit, more or less 

 truncately hemispherical and obscurely 2-lohed. Scandent, diffuse or erect jiercnnials.
