ANILEMA OVATUM. 
12. Anilema ovatum Wallich. Hook. f. et. Th. in Herb. Dictyospermum montanum Wight Icones t. 2069. Dicty- 
ospermum ovalifolium Wight Icones t. 2070. 
Late repens ramis adscendentibus. Folia lanceolata aut (in eadem planta) ovalia obtusa. Paniculeo torminales 
depress aut evolute plus minus exserte. Semina’ magna grosse reticulato-rugosa. 
Hab. In Zeylania ; Peninsula Indica; insulis Andaman; Birma; Malaya ; (nec Bengalia ?) 
Foliorum vagine: caulis apicem versus imbricatw. Panicula modo his foliis approximatis fere abdita modo exserta, quoad 
numerum florum valde variabilis. Rami panicule plus minus pilosi, bracteis parvis mox deciduis. Semina in facie interiore alto canali- 
culo exseripta. 
specimina sicca spontanea. 
Exceedingly like Aclisia subumbellata in habit leaves and fruit panicle ; but the Aclisia can be recognised at once by the 
persistent bracts on the glabrous panicle-branches. 
[There are many other Anilemas in the Calcutta Herbarium which, as not known living in Bengal, I think it best to say very 
little about. Anilema Keenigii Wight ex herb. Hook. f. et Th. is very near Anilema divergens : but a smaller and weaker plant. Anilema 
dimorphum Dalzell is also like a weak depauperated form of A. lineolatum. Anilema ochraceum Dalzoll is a good species with fase 
cicled pedicels and yellow flowers : and comes between Anilema nanum and A. triquetrum. ]
