3. BBERMAIERA Nees. 
The name Staurogyne Wall. which is adopted by Gamble, Fl. Madr. 
p- 1010, has only page priority over Ebermaiera Nees. 
E. zeylanica Nees. 
The type locality is given in DC. Prodr. as ‘‘ Ad Kandy Waraka- 
polly in Zeylano, McRae, 369,’’ which is presumably Varakapola 
near Ambepussa. 
The Batticaloa specimen appears to be the E. glauca Nees, which 
may prove only a dry country form of E. seylanica Nees. 
Gamble separates them as follows: 
Stem erect, the branches not trailing, viscous-pubes- 
cent ; upper leaves or nearly all alternate, spathulate ; 
bract narrow oa bracteoles 2, linear, small ; 
seeds globose, not pitted . . I. glauca. 
Stem-branches trailing with short erect stems from the 
nodes, hispid, not viscous; leaves all opposite. ellip- 
tic-oblong or obovate; bract broad, obovate, brac- 
teoles 2, linear-lanceolate; seeds pitted é . 2. seylanica.
