VITACEAE. 
I have followed Planchon and Gagnepain in the arrangement 
of the genera, most of which were in the Flora of British India 
included under Vitis. I have followed Gagnepain in con- 
sidering Cayratia as a genus and had finished my draft of the 
genus before I rece vol. xi. part 3 of the Philippine 
Journal of Science, in which Dr. Merrill has pointed out that 
Loureiro’s name Colwmella takes precedence (1790) of Cayratia. 
thought it best to adhere to that name and leave my descriptions 
as written under Cayratia. 
TETRASTIGMA. There seem to be no available authentic. speci-

Vizagapatam by Mr. A. W. Lushington. Unfortunately, it has 
leaves only, and the leaves are not easily distinguished from those 
of A. tomentosa. So many North Indian species extend to the 
hills of the Northern Circars that I think the occurrence of 
A. divaricata very likely and so I have admitted it. 
Cavratta. C. mollissima, Gagnep. (Vitis mollissima, Wall.) 
the seeds differ, chiefly by the presence of vertical lobes in the 
albumen as in Ciss a 
however, for the present at any rate, for the seeds do not 
resemble those of any other of our species of Cissus. 
Leea. The Madras specimens of Leea robusta agree with 
those of Wall. Cat. 6826, collected in the Botanic Garden, Cal-

STAPHYLEACEAE.—TURPINIA. f. ‘nepalensis, Wall., as found 
South India, seems to be identical, as Wight and Arnott con- 
sidered, with the Himalayan tree, and in both localities it is a 
mountain species, very easily recognised in the forests. But I
