40S LI. CRASSULICE.I. 



Deccan : Sliirgaou Gluit between Watluir and Wai, Bhidr, 1243! 

 Tbe above species was collected in November 1902 bj Mr. Bbide, tlie Ilerbarimn 

 Keeper in the College of Science at Poona. I have named the plant after him. 



(i. Kalanchoe laciniata) BC. Succ. PI. 4' Grasses, t. 100. A 

 large succulent herb, glabrous or inore or less pubescent, 3— i ft. high ; 

 stems stout, slightly branched. Leaves numerous, large anil very 

 succulent, 3-4 in. long, very variable ; the lowest deeply gashed, the 

 segments usually narrow-obloug, acute, dentate, serrate or creuate ; the 

 middle-stem leaves more or less deeply pinnatitid ; the uppermost entire 

 or nearly so, all shining, pale glaucous-green; petioles 1-H in. long, 

 flattened, fleshy, amplexicaul. Flowers in paniculate cymes ; bracts 

 linear. Calyx g-i in. long, glabrous or glandular-pubescent, divided to 

 the base ; segments narrowly lanceolate, acute, somewhat spreading. 

 Corolla yellow, | in. long ; tube g in. long ; lobes lanceolate, acute or 

 acuminate, glabrous or pubescent. Hypogynous scales J-i in. long, 

 linear. Follicles ^ in. long, glabrous. Fl. B. I. v. 2, p. 415 ; G-rah. Cat. 

 p. 81; Dalz. & Gibs. p. 105; Wight, Icon. t. 1158; Oliver, Fl. Trop. 

 Afr. V. 2, p. 392 ; Trim. Fl. Cevl. v. 2, p. 144 ; Watt, Diet. Econ. Prod. 

 V. 2, p. 5()2. 



The plants vary much in pubescence, the mode of division of the 

 leaves and the shape of their ultimate segments. Mr. C. B. Clarke 

 (Fl. B. 1. 1. c.) recognizes 2 varieties, in one of which the leaves are once- 

 pinnatifid, the segments broad and the sepals glabrous, -while in the 

 other the leaves are 2-3-pinnatifid, the segments linear and the sepals 

 pubescent. 



Deccan : Hiiidughar fort near Wai, Gibson ex Graham. S. M. Country : hills near 

 Dliarwar, Lush ex Graham, Dalzell ^- Gibson. 



Tlie localities named above have been given by Graham and by Dalzell & Gibson in 

 their respective Floras. I have seen no Bombay specimens, nor has Mr. Woodrow 

 included the plant in his list in Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. Graham is circum- 

 stantial enougli in his description, but depends for localities on Dr. Lush and Dr. Gib.son. 

 n)alzell probably quotes Graham. — Distrib. India (Bengal, Birma, W. Peninsula) ; 

 Cejlon, Malacca, Yunan, Java, Tropical Africa. 



Oedeu LII. DROSERACE^. 



Perennial, glandular-hairy herbs. Leaves radical or alternate, usually 

 circinate in vernation ; stipules 0, represented by hairs edging the 

 dilated base of the petiole, or scarious. Inflorescence various ; flowers 

 hermaphrodite, regular. Calyx 4-S-partite, or sepals free, imbricate, 

 persistent. I'etals 4-8, hypogynous or nearly so, imbricate in bud, 

 niarcescent. Stamens as many as the petals, hypogynous or nearly so. 

 Ovary nearly free, globose or ovoid, 1-3-celled ; ovules numerous, on 

 5-3 parietal placentas ; styles 5-3, capitate, limbriate or bifid. Capsule 

 membranous, 5-3-valved. Seeds numerous, v^ith fleshy albumen;
