Yae. Woodroivii. Calyx larger, | in. long in flower ; corolla scarcely 

 exserted ; nutlets xV~tV "^- -^^"ff' narrowly ellipsoid, smooth, brown, 

 with white spots and mucilaginous wheu wetted. 



More abundant than tlie type in W. India. Sir J. D. Hooker (Fl. B. I. 1. c.) 

 mentions that he bad received from Mr. Woodrow from Poena a specimen (now in 

 Herb. Kew. n. 470) Tvith the habit of N. ruderalis but with a larger calyx and with 

 the nutlets of N. bomhaiensis. 



I have recently received from Mr. Gamniie of the College of Science at Poona 

 several specimens collected by Mr. Bbide, the Herbarium-Keeper of tliat Institution, 

 from the bill fort of Sinbagad (4000 ft.) 12 miles from Poona as well as Irom 

 Pancbgani (4000 ft.) close to Mahablesbwar. 



The 2 teeth of the lower lip of the calyx seem to be more triangular than tbose of 

 N. ruderalis proper which are subulate.
