Milinsa.] flora indica. 149 



ovalia, superne lucida, glabra ; juniora supra pilis paucis sparsis steUatis munita, secus 

 costam pubescentia, subtus pubescentia, secus costam fere tomentosa, 2-2-J poll, 

 longa, f~lf lata, petiolo vix litieam longo. Mores \ poll, longi. Petala exterior* 

 sepalis eequilonga, duplo latiora ; interiora ovata, nervosa, pubescentia. Torus dense 

 strigosus. Ovaria dense albo-pilosa, lineari-oblonga, plerumque biovulata. Stig- 

 mata oblonga. Carpella numerosa, fere sessilia, subglobosa, pisi magnitudine, apicu- 

 lata, dense cinereo-tomentosa. 



Perhaps there is a glabrous -fruited species undistinguishable in leaves from this, 

 but it is more probable that all the glabrous and sessile-fruited forms are referable to 

 M. montana. 



3. M. Zeylanica (Gardner in Herb. Wight) ; ramulis pubescen- 

 tibus, foliis oblongo-lanceolatis subtus adpresse puberulis, pedunculis 

 abbreviatis, floribus hermaphroditis, sepalis petalisque ext. pubeseenti- 

 bus, petalis interioribus lineari-oblongis. 



Hab. In Zeylania, alt. 2-3000 ped., Walker! Gardner! etc. — (v. s.) 



Arbor parva. Hamuli fusco-grisei, rugosi, tuberculati, juniores cum omnibus par- 

 tibus novellis fusco-tomentosi. Folia coriacea, rigida, opaca, obtusa acuta vel acu- 

 minata, basi rotundata, et ssepe obliqua, 2-4 poll, longa, 1-1 \ lata, petiolo bilineari, 

 plus vel minus tomentoso, demum utrinque glabrata. Pedunculi floribus dimidio 

 breviores, tomentosi, basi pluribracteati. Sepal a et petala exteriora fere sequalia, 

 oblonga, vix acuta, pilosa, molliter ciliata. Petala interiora quam in ceteris spe- 

 eiebus angustiora, adpresse puberula. Torus strigoso-pilosus. Ovaria numerosa, 

 pilis rigidis strigosa, late ovalia, stigmate ovali terminata. Ovula plerumque 2. 

 Fructus ignotus. 



4. M» Wightiana (H.f. et T.) ; ramulis glabriusculis, foliis an- 

 guste oblongo-lanceolatis vel Kneari-oblongis obtuse acuminatis basi 

 acutis utrinque glabris, pedunculis floribus duplo longioribus gracili- 

 bus, floribus polygamo-dioicis P, carpellis globosis granulatis glabris 

 pcdiccllo sequilongo sutfultis. 



Hab. In montibus humidioribus peninsulse australis prope Courta- 



lam, Wight!— -(PI. Jul. Aug.) (v. s.) 



Arbor parva. Hamuli cinerei, rugulosi, glabri, tuberculis crebris pustulati. Folia 

 tenuiter coriacea, lucida, 3-4 poll, longa, £-1 lata, petiolo brevissimo glabro. Pe- 

 dunculi f-1 poll, longi, vix puberuli, basi squamis paucis remotiusculis muniti. 

 Flores magnitudine eorum M. montana. Sepala et petala exteriora minuta, re- 

 flexa. Petala interiora oblonga, extus puberula. Torus glaber. Stamina (in florc 

 uno) uniserialia, longiora et majora quam in cseteris speciebus. Ovaria numerosa, 

 glabra, ovali-oblonga, ovulo 1, suturse ventrali inserto. Stt/lus oblongus. 



Of this very distinct species there are several specimens in Dr. "Wight's herbarium, 

 but only one or two flowers. It is intermediate in many respects between the original 

 species of Miliusa and Eyaloste.ama. 



5. M. WaHichiana (H.f. et T.) ; foliis elongato-oblongis longe 

 acuminatis glabris lucidis, pedunculis elongatis bracteis pluribus lineari- 

 subulatis sparsis munitis, floribus polygamo-dioicis, sepalis petalisque 

 exterioribus subsequalibus longe linearibus pubescentibus, toro fructifero 

 apice tantum carpella gerente breviter strigoso, carpellis numerosis 

 transverse ovalibus, seminibus 1-2.
