A very distinct species, well-marked by the elliptic perfectly glabrous leaves 

 narrowed into the petiole, and the linear-oblong calyx-lobes. I have seen neither 

 stipules nor bracts. Leaves 2-3 by 1^-2 in., somewhat shining above, opaque 

 beneath, veins very inconspicuous ; petiole slender, in. Heads 1^ in. diam. Cap- 

 sules turgid, in., on very slender pedicels. Maingay's specimens are very pale 

 coloured. 



14. IT. pilosa, Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. 520; branches peduncles and leaves 

 beneath tomentose with short hairs, leaves short-petioled oblong-ovate abruptly 

 caudate-acuminate, above pilose or scaberulous and pubescent on the 8-10 pair 

 of nerves, stipules 2-partite, peduncles all axillary very stout bracteate above 

 the middle, calyx-lobes linear obtuse, corolla hairy, capsules obtuse sessile..
