A curious little plant, remarkable for its very rigid habit and pseudo-parasitic 

 mode of growth. It is more nearly allied to T. glyphocarpum than to any other 

 species, but is easily distinguished by its smaller size and the very long beak of the 

 achenium. 



10. T. glyphocarpum (W. et A.! Prod. i. 2) ; foliis ternatim de- 

 composes, panicula terminali paucittora, filamentis clavatis, acheniis 

 8-15 oblongis brevissime pedicellatis valide costatis rostro brevi un- 

 cinato apiculatis. — Wight , 1c. £.48. 



Hab. Per totam Indiam temperatam in sylvis densis et dumetis; 

 in Himalaya a Simla, 6-8000 ped.! et Kumaon ! usque ad Sikkim in 

 jugis interioribus, 9-12,000 ped.! (sed nondum e Nipalia allatum) ; 

 Khasia, alt. 5-6000 ped.! in monte Parasnath, prov. Behar, alt. 

 4000 ped.!; in montibus altioribus Peninsulse et Zeylanise ! — (PI. Jul. 

 Sept.) (v. v.) 



Herba crecta, bipedalis et ultra, radice fibrosa. Stipulte petiolo adhasrentes, reni- 

 formes, membranaceje, fimbriate; stipe Iks nulke. Foliola ^-1-uucialia, glaberrima, 

 membrauacea vel coriacea, rotundata, obtuse crenato-lobata vel triloba. Panicula 

 divaricato-ramosa, ramis strictis subracemosis. Anther® muticse. 



There are specimens of this species in the Hookerian Herbarium, from Java, col- 

 lected by Mr. Lobb, so that possibly T. Javanicum, Blume, may be the same. The 

 character given in the Bijdragen is, 'however, quite insufficient to determine whether 

 this conjecture be well founded or the contrary ; and in any case we think the name 

 given by Wight and Arnott, who have well characterized the species, ought to be 



retained. 



11. T. foliolosum (DC. Syst. i. 175, Prod. i. 12); polygamo- 

 dioicum, foliis supradeeompositis, panicula ramosissima aphylla, bracteis 

 minutis, acheniis paucis ovali-oblongis utrinque acutis argute costatis.

Hab. In Himalaya temperata ubique : occidentera versus in jugis 

 exterioribus (5-8000), in Sikkim in interioribus tantum; et in mon- 

 tibus Khasia in umbrosis, alt. 4-6000 ped. !— (FL Aug. Sept.) (* v.) 



Erecta, ramosa, 3-8-pedalis. Folia maxima, srcpe pedalia et ultra ; foliola nu- 

 merosissima, parva, ovalia, inciso-lobata, maxima vix pollicaria, plcrumque multo 

 minora. Petioli basi auriculati. Stipell* nulla;. Sepala oblonga, obtusa, 5-7-uer- 

 via, pallide viridia vel fusco-purpurea. Stamina numerosa ; filamenta filiformia ; an- 

 ther® mucronatse. Achenia 5-7. 



The Khasia plant is very luxuriant, and generally very large-leaved. 



12. T. minus (L.) ; foliis deeomposite pinnatis, segmentis varie 

 lobatis, panicula ramosa ampla, acheniis paucis oblongis vel ovalibus
