J merely judge from Dr. Hasskar!’s description of his Cyanotis racemosa that my Bengal specimens belong. I doubt that 
this may be a small variety of Cyanotis cristata.

The Ceylon specimens of C. P, 3223, issued to the Calcutta Herbarium as Cyanotis lanceolata by Thwaites appear to belong 
Siero They are at all events not Cyanotis lanceolata Wight : but I suspect some error may have occurred by mixture of specimens as 
it ese specimens of ‘C. P. 3223 preserved at Calcutta are very small plants : whereas in Ceylon Prodromus, p. 823 this number is to be dis- 
tinguished from C. fasciculata by its much larger size.
