SuBGEff. I. A gal ma. Stigmas connate into a narrow cylindric style. 

 f Umbels perfect, pedicels not racemed. 



1. XI. impressuxn, C. B. Clarke, leaflets (from leaves near the panicle) 

 lanceolate nearly entire nerves impressed above stellately woolly beneath, petals 

 sparingly stellate-woolly. Agalma tomentosum, Seem. Rev. Heder. 25. He- 

 dera tomentosa, Ham. in Don Prodr. 187; Wall. Cat. 4922; DC. Prodr. iv. 

 264. Panax tomentosum, DC. Prodr. iv. 554. Araliad sp. 3, Herb. Ind. Or. 



Temperate Himalaya, alt. 6000-11,000 ft. ; from KuMAONto BHOTAN, frequent. 



A tree, 60 ft. Leaflets often 10 by 2 in., rugose above from the impressed 

 nerves, lanceolate or oblanceolate, acuminate ; petiolules rarely more than 1 in. ; 

 leaflets from young trees often distantly lobed or serrate. Panicle 12-15 in., stel- 

 late-torn entose ; bracts very shortly ovate, somewhat persistent; pedicels -f in. 

 Seeman has applied the name H. tomentosum to a different Malayan plant : hence the 

 new name H. impressum. 



2. H. hypoleucum, Kurz For. Fl. i. 539 ; leaflets with scattered lax 

 stellate wool or glaucous beneath glabrous and not rugose above, petals covered 

 with dense stellate wool. Araliad sp. 15, Herb. Ind. Or. H. f. fy T. 



KHASIA MTS., alt. 4000-6000 ft, frequent ; Griffith, H. f. $ T., C. B. Clarke.. 

 MARTABAN, alt. 6000 ft. ; Kurz. 



A small branched tree. Leaflets 4-8 by l-3 in., those even from leaves next 

 the panicle polymorphous, oblong or ovate, acute, quite entire or serrulate or lobed or 

 irregularly pinnatifid, the stellate wool beneath deciduous, leaving a glaucous surface ; 

 petiolules ^-3 in. Panicle often 12-15 in., lower branches often elongate with seve- 

 ral umbels, stellately woolly ; bracts shortly ovate, somewhat persistent ; pedicels 

 |-f in. Closely allied to the preceding. From Mr. Kurz's description it would seem 

 that the rarer Khasian form with perfectly glabrous glaucous leaves, is the only 

 Burman one. 



3. H. elatum, C. B. Clarke ; leaflets near the panicle nearly entire- 

 oblong lanceolate glabrous not rugose above, petals glabrous or sparingly stel- 

 late woolly. Hedera elata, Ham. in Don Prodr. 187; DC. Prodr. iv. 264;.

KUMAON to BHOTAN, alt. 5000-7000 ft., not uncommon ; Wallich, &c. 



A tree 30-40 ft. Leaflets 4-7 by l-2 in., broadest below the middle, in young 

 trees but sparingly toothed or lobed; petiolules often 1-2 in. Panicle 12-18 in., 

 lower branches usually compound; bracts very short, ovate, auriculate; pedicels 

 |-| in., glabrous pubescent or stellately woolly ; buds usually glabrous.
