14 INDIAN COTTONS. 
or 4-celled, almost spherical or ovate, pointed, shorter than the 
spreading bracteoles. Seeds 5 to 8 in each cell. 
Typical examples are Lalio of Kathiawar. Aumpta and 
Jowari Hatti of the Southern Mahratta Country, Broach, 
Gogahri, Lalio (Chharodi) and Ka@nvi, all of Gujarat. 
G. herbaceum, Zinn var. nov madraspatana. With smaller 
bolls but otherwise as in type, of which it is probably a degenera- 
tion. Typical examples include the White-seeded Jowari Hatti, 
Mungari or Billa, Uppam, Northerns (Cuddapah), Proddatur, all 
of the Madras Presidency. Manva (Pratabgarh) is the solitary 
representative in the United Provinces. Mr. Benson says that 
‘Westerns’ include Jowdri Hatti (white and black seeded). 
Mungari and Bilé Hatt? and that these are found on the loams 
and clays. The trade term ‘ Northerns’ includes the Northerns 
of this list and Yerraputti (G. indicum), the distribution being 
mainly according to soil as above. Salems include three different 
varieties, viz., Uppam, Nadam or Ladam, and Bourbon. The 
Uppam resembles in every way, except that the lint is harsher, 
the Uppam of the districts further south and is the crop of clays 
and loams. The trade term ‘ Tinnies’ includes the Uppams and

“Mundai kar and Karungannt” or ‘ Manji kav” varieties. 
These two sorts are habitually sown mixed, but the proportion of 
Uppam. is larger in the north and of Karwnganni in the south. 
It seems probable that the latter is the true Tinny Cotton, for 
Uppam is known in some places as Udamalpet cotton, Udamalpet 
being a town in the ‘Salems’ area. Mungari is a special sort 
which appears to differ from the ordinary Jowdari (not Jowarr 
Hatti) in respect of the time of sowing. Karungannz belongs to 
G, obtusifolium, Roxb. 
G. herbaceum, Linn, var. nov. melanosperma. As in the 
last, but testa of seed naked. There is only one typical example 
from the Madras Presidency, said by Mr. Benson to be included 
in ‘ Westerns.’ 
G. herbaceum, Linn. var. nov. sakalia. Bolls spherical, with 
broad valves splitting so slightly when ripe that the cotton does 
not emerge, mostly 3-celled, averaging one inch in length and
