Clematis.'] flora indica. 7 



Caules sulcati. Folia 5-10 nncias longa, 4-7 lata, late ovata, basi rotundata vel 

 saepius profunde cordata, valide 5-7-nervia, margine albo-cartilaginea, interdum tcr- 

 natipartita, superiora angnstiora oblonga vel lanceolata, longe acuminata, basi angus- 

 tata, integerrima vel rarius serrata seu grosse denticulata. Panicula elongatae, ra- 

 cemiformes vel decomposite, pluriflora?. Sepala 4-5, oblonga, acuta, patentia, demum 

 reflexa, extus fusco-tomentosa, intus glabra. Stamina exteriora sepalis paullo bre- 

 viora ; jilamentis membranaceis, late linearibus \ antheris brevibus, angustis ; inte- 

 riora sensim breviora et angustiora, sed antheris gradatim longioribus terminata, 

 intima fere a basi antherifera. Achenia ovata, compressa. 



A very well-marked species, but varying like all the others, though to a less 

 degree than most, in the shape and toothing of the leaves. The serrate-leaved forms 

 do not constitute a distinct species, nor even variety ; specimens from the same spot, 

 occasionally even from the same plant, presenting both forms.

 glabra ; anther <b elongatse. Achenia ovata, compressa, sericeo-villosa. 



Heyne's plant has hitherto been considered an obscure species, and we have seen 

 no authentic specimen ; but the description given by Roth accords so well with the 

 plant collected by Mr. Law and Dr. Stocks, that we have no doubt of their identity. 

 Heyne's specimens were probably obtained from the same district, as many of his 

 plants were, we believe, collected on the mountains near the western coast.
