breadth. The typical examples are two only ; Wagad and Sakdlzo 
of Gujarat. 
1 am altogether in doubt as to the extra-Indian distribution 
of G. herbaceum, Linn., having never seen living examples of 
the cottons ranging from the western frontiers of India to 
Eastern Europe and included under this name. Specimens from 
the following countries seem to belong to this species, but they 
may just as well be considered forms of G. obtusifolium, Roxb. : 
Turkey, Greece, Armenia, Persia, Cephalonia, Crete, Khorasan 
(Aitchison), Afghanistan, Gilgit (Giles and also Winterbottom). 
5. Gossypium INTERMEDIUM, Todaro, Osser sua Cotont, p. 41 
(1863) ; G. intermedium, Jod. rar. Royleanum, 7 od. l.c. = ? broad- 
lobed type; G. neglectum, Tod. var. Roxburghianum, Tod. l.c. =? 
G. herbaceum var. Dacca Cotton, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ITI, 184, teste 
Tod. lc. = ? Jethia of Bengal. Attaining 5 to 6 and more feet 
in height, branches ascending more sharply than in G. herbaceum, 
reddish. Leaves dark green, sub-coriaceous, glabrescent, 
palmately 5—7-lobed, lobes ovate acute, sinus broad with a fold or 
rarely with an extra-basal lobe. racteoles not spreading, 
subtriangular, ovate, gashed more or less on the whole margin. 
Bolls small $ by 3 inch, round and pointed. Cotton scanty, short, 
moderately fine ; seeds 3 to 8 in each cell, velvet greenish white. 
The following forms are transitional between the Burmese and 
Chinese types of G. neglectum and G. herbaceum. 
(a) Lobes of leaves broad. Déshila or Déshi and Jéthi of 
Bengal, Lagil of Gorakhpur, U. P. 
(b) Lobes of leaves narrow, Siéltanpur; Radhiya kapas ; 
Manva of the United Provinces. 
G. intermedium, Tod. var. nov. alba. Flowers white. Prac- 
teoles often entire. A form nearer G. neglectum than G. herbaceum. 
Type from United Provinces only. Mr. Moreland (Director of 
Agriculture, United Provinces) says that these cottons are cultiva- 
ted on asmall scale only on the eastern side of the Upper Provinces. 
The extra-Indian distribution of G. zntermedium, Tod., is 
unknown. The plant is probably endemic. There are no speci- 
mens at Kew.
