AMELINA WALLICHII 
1. Amelina Wallichii nov. sp. 
Erecta pubescens. Folia oblonga-lanceolata pilosa supra scabrida. Panicula terminalis, bracteis brevibus vagi- 
nantibus persistentibus. Stamina 2 perfecta filamentis barbatis, unicum sterile. Semina 6 (3 in quoque loculo) leviter reti- 
culata. Capsula minute pubescens. 
Hab ? 
Vidi specimina a beato Wallichio exsiccata. 
This remarkable plant appears to have been collected by Wallich on more than one occasion : but though the specimens in 
the Calcutta Herbarium are full and complete there is no record of the habitat. 
In the dried buds I could only make out one barren stamen as aboye stated but there may probably be more, or occasionally 
more. 
Anilema wquinoctiale Kunth Enum. IV. p. 72 is the same genus as the present plant, possibly may be the same species
