of the corolla and its indumentum is more like that of our plant 
and of S. suaveolens than of 8. chelonoides, DC. 
050. Premna calycina, Haines [Verbenaceae—Viticeae] : 
species adhue cum P. barbata, Wall., conjuncta, sed inter alia 
calyce magno venoso anthesi nec alte 4-lobato nec Jobis angustis, 
etiam floribus majoribus, foliis glabrioribus magis dentatis differt. 
Arbor parva, inermis, usque ad 10 m. alta, cortice pallido. 
Folia elliptico-oblonga, lanceolata vel ovata, rarius obovata, 
acuminata, plus minusve serrata vel dentata, 8-20 cm. longa, 
4-11 em. lata, glabra vel in nervis subtus puberula, basi 
rotundata, obtusa vel breviter cuneata, nervis lateralibus 4-6, 
quorum 1-2 prope basin, petiolis 1-5-4 cm. longis glabris, vel 
supra leviter pubescentibus. Panicula parva, terminalis, minute 
pubescens, corymbosa, 3-6 cm. diametro, bracteis minimis 
caducis. Calyx inflato-campanulatus, anthesi sub-bilabiatus, 
2 mm. longus, parce glandulosus, labio superiore nunc perspicue | 
2-lobato lobis imbricatis rotundatis nunc subintegro, labio 
inferiore obscure 3-lobato; calyx fructifer 2-5 mm. longus 
latusque, insigniter venosus, alte 2-labiatus vel inaequaliter 
2-5-lobatus. Corolla alba, 5-6 mm. longa, tubo 3 mm. longo, 
-lobis 4 late-oblongis rotundatis, fauce villosa. Stamina exserta. 
Stylus minute 2-fidus. Drupa globosa, 3 mm. diametro, puta- 
mine verrucoso. 
Inp1s. Bengal, Bibar and Orissa, and the Central Provinces, 
frequent. 
Whereas P. barbata, Wall., is chiefly a species of the lower 
Himalaya and adjacent moister regions, P. calycina extends into 
vd 
the Peninsula. The typical Premna barbata (Wall. No. 1768) 
from Nepal has pubescent entire or very slightly toothed leaves 
though Clarke in Flora of British India iv, 579 appears to regard 
as typical the form with more toothed leaves and to class the 
sub-entire leaved form as a variety “anodon.”’ The calyx of 
P. barbata is very little enlarged in fruit and the latter is often 
pyriform. Brandis (Forest Trees, p. 511) states under P. barbata 
** calyx lobes enlarged and ribbed in fruit.” This remark no 
doubt is applied to his specimens from Singbhum and _ the 
Central Provinces which are P. calycina mihi.

An unfortunate question of nomenclature has arisen in con- 
nection with the writer’s revision of North Indian Cyperaceae for 
Mr. J. F. Duthie’s “ Flora of the Upper Gangetic Plain,” and it 
seems advisable to clear the matter up in a separate paper.
