purple and yellow, anthers acutely spurred. From the figure and 

 description the corolla is much the largest part of the plant. * C. 

 calcareata (C. Stoclesii, D.), " probably a more fully developed state 

 of the last," the pedicels longer, the corolla bluish white. Both were 

 found by Mr. Law in Salsette, the first also between the Ram Ghaut 

 and Belgaum. 



Cistanche, flowers in dense spikes, corolla tube long and curved. 

 * C. tubulosa, one to five feet high and often as thick as the wrist ! 

 Corolla one or two inches long, much incurved, lobes short. Not 

 attributed to this Presidency in the books, except to Sindh by If., and 

 to Kattywar on the roots of grasses and of Calotropis procera by Dr. 

 Gray. 



ORDER 86. GESNERACE.E. 



Herbs or undershrubs, leaves without stipules, flowers 

 bracted, generally irregular, calyx segments 5, corolla tubular 

 generally 5-lobed, two -lipped in all the genera occurring in this 

 Presidency, stamens didynamous on the corolla tube ; seeds 

 very many minute. 



This is a small order (included by Bentham in Bignoniaceae), better 

 known by the beautiful Gloxinias and Achimenes than by anything 

 that is found wild in W. India. The flowers outwardly are much 

 like those of the 2-lipped genera of Scrophularineae, and all those 

 found in this Presidency are of somewhat succulent habit. 



1. JEsCHYNANTHUs. Epiphytic undershrubs, leaves opposite, 

 ovary superior, stalked, stigma peltate. 



2. KLUGIA. Leaves alternate, unequal-sided, calyx 5- 

 angled or winged, ovary ovoid, stigma obliquely dilated, cap- 

 sule included, 2-valved. 



1. ^BSCHYNANTHUS. 



* JE. Perotettii. Branches sometimes much compressed, 

 smooth, leaves lanceolate acuminate, umbels 2 to 6 flowered, 

 corolla 2 inches long, narrow scarlet, the lobes marked with 

 purple ; calyx lobes small. 



Parwar Ghaut (D.). On trees in the Koina Valley. Dr. Cooke. 

 Other similar situations (H.). 



* 1&. grandiflora seems to be very much the same, but the leaves 

 and capsule larger. It rests as to W. India only on the authority of 

 Nimmo in G., and is described by him as having flowers like the fox- 

 glove, and swollen joints, from which fibrous roots issue. On trees in 

 the S. Konkan. 



2. KLUGIA. 

 K. Notoniana. A pretty plant ; a line of hairs runs down
