S. bicirrhosa, Lesch., is a perfectly good and distinct species. 
It differs from S. colubrina, the species of the Malabar coast, 
in being covers with a minute Pela both on stems 
and leaves; the triplinerved leaves, acute calyx segments, hairy 
gla 
portant distinguishing features. ‘Unfertunately the flowers of the 
single specimen are only in bud, and there is therefore uncer- 
tainty as to the ultimate size of the flowers and length of the 
corolla tube. 
Wallich, no doubt by accident, has put down the locality on 
the sheet as “‘ Nilghirries *”? but t the spot where it was found is 
quite away from that region and no other specimens of Strychnos 
appear to have been collected there.

The leaves are markedly tripli- or almost quintupli-nerved 
and the nerves and reticulate veins are prominent on both sur- 
faces. The lobes of the corolla are usually glabrous but a very 
few hairs are found occasionally on the inner surface.
