Order 80. Boraginece. 195 



lanceolate or oblong, obtuse ; flowers small, white, in panicles, 

 petals curled back, stamens and styles 4 each, exserted ; fruit 

 larger than a pea, orange yellow, full of glutinous pulp, seated 

 in the cup-like calyx. Qodan, gondani, dydr. 



D. calls this common everywhere, which I do not think it is. I 

 believe that I have seen it only in the Deccan. Guzerat also ((?.). 

 W. India, frequent (H.\ 



* C. Macleodii, all softly and densely hairy, leaves ovate, cordate, 

 obtnse, calyx tubular, clavate, berry ovoid, aeute, very small. 

 Dahivan. * 0. fulvosa, the same, except for its much less tomentose 

 corymbs and leaves (if.)- These two are not in D. or G. Konkan 

 and Belgaum (If.). * C. Sebestena, a small S. American tree, with 

 showy red flowers, is frequent in gardens in Bombay (Dr. W. Gray). 



2. EHRETIA. 



E. Icevis. A tree with broad oval entire leaves, often un- 

 equal-sided, flowers very small, white, panicled. Calyx lobes 

 5, very short, drupe very small, red turning black. Datrang. 



Malwan, S.E. of Surat, and Bhimashankar (D. and G.}. Common 

 throughout hotter India (if.). 



3. COLDENIA. 



C. procumbens. A small plant, grey and very hairy, lying 

 close to the ground, stem thick, leaves obovate, deeply pleated, 

 unequal at the base, flowers white, solitary sessile in the axils, 

 fruit rough pyramidal pointed. Tripakslii. 



Common on rice-fields in the cold weather. Throughout India, a 

 weed (if.)- It is a plant of quite the same character as Heliotro- 

 pium. 



4. E-HABDIA. 



R. lycioides (R. viminea, D.). A twiggy much-branched 

 shrub, the branches frequently creeping and rooting, leaves 

 obovate cuneate small, flowers small pink in axillary 'corymbs, 

 berry smaller than a pea, orange-red. 



Konkan, in the beds of rivers. India generally, in the samo 

 situations (if.). I have found this as D. describes with smooth 

 leaves, thus differing from the order, but Brandis calls them more 

 or less hairy with adpressed white hairs. 



5. HELIOTBOPIUM. 

 The common explanation of the name is found in the lines 



" The heliotrope that turneth 

 Towards her lord, the Sun." A. A. Proctor.
