IO8 The Flowering Plants of Western India. 



the same length, 4-divided, stamens 8, carpels narrowed into 

 a long style ; follicles 4. 



2. KALANCHOE. Stout erect herbs with erect flowers, corolla 

 much longer than the calyx, follicles membranous, many- 

 seeded, otherwise like the last. 



1. BRIOPHYLLUM. 



B. calycinum (Ka lanchoe pinnata, D.) Stem red and thick, 

 leaves simple, ovate or 3-partite, crenated and dark-edged ; 

 flowers in terminal panicles, yellowish-red and purple, calyx 

 inflated enclosing the fruit. Ghdydl, ghdipdl, parnabij, pdn- 

 pJiui. 



This very strange-looking plant is very common in gardens, but 

 grows wild in the S. Konkan and at Mahableshwar, and is said to be 

 common near Belgaum and the Ramghaut, and to grow throughout 

 the tropics of the world (#.). Buds are formed in the edges of the 

 leaves, from which young plants are produced. 



2. KALANCHOE. 



1 . K. brasiliensis (K. olivacea, D.). Of a pale olive colour all 

 over, stem spotted with red, leaves ovate or broad lanceolate, 

 unequally crenated, pedicels, calyx and flowers glandular, viscid 

 and hairy, calyx divided to the base, corolla tube swelled at 

 the base, segments ovate pointed, pink, carpels narrow upwards. 



The above is my description of a remarkable -looking plant which I 

 found at Singarh growing on the rocks, and D. at two or three other 

 hill forts. The above identification was made at Kew, but H.'s 

 description does not agree very well with my plant or D.'s. 



2. * K. glandulosa (K. Ritchieana, D.). Stem thick, the upper 

 part glandular, leaves oblong obovate, stem clasping, racemes 

 panicled, corolla much longer than the calyx. 



Between Belgaum and Sholapore (D.). 



* K. laciniata, leaves pinnatifid or deeply gashed, coarsely toothed, 

 flowers yellow, pretty in panicles. Hills about Dharwar, and Pan- 

 dugarh (D.). 



Tillcea, petals free or connate. * T. pentandra, a small smooth 

 herb, stem creeping, branched, leaves lanceolate flat, flowers white 

 axillary. Not in D. Konkan, Stocks. 



ORDER 46. DEOSERACE^l. Sun dews. 



Small herbs, more or less covered with glandular sticky 

 hairs, the young leaves and flower stems curled inwards like
