ovary; lobes |-f by | in., ovate-lanceolate, approximate, glabrous. Corolla f-lj by 

 jr-1 in., lurid yellow with purple veins. Ovary 5-4- (rarely 3-) celled. Berry ^-1 

 in. diara., hemispheric, broader than long, glaucous, black-purple, the persistent 

 somewhat enlarged calyx-lobes spreading from near its base. Codonopsis corda.ta 

 (Hassk. in Eetzia, i. 9) may be only a var. of this, as Kurz states ; but Hasskarl's 

 examples differ in the leaves being sparsely hairy above with much spreading hairs on 

 the nerves beneath, a state unknown in India. 



2. C. inflata, Clarke ; leaves ovate-cordate nearly glabrous, calyx adnate 

 nearly to the summit of the ellipsoid berry. Codonopsis inflata, Hook.f. III. 

 Him. PL t. 16, C. ; H.f. # T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 13. 



SIKKIM and BHOTAN ; alt. 5-8000 ft., common. 



Leaves alternate sometimes opposite, 3 by If in., acute, deeply cordate, entire or 

 crenate-dentate, glaucous beneath, glabrous or sparsely pilose above ; petiole ^-2 in. 

 Peduncles mostly leaf-opposed, as long as the petioles. Calyx-lobes -f by \ in., 

 ovate-lanceolate, approximate, glabrous or nearly so. Corolla l by f in., lurid 

 yellow with purple veins. Ovary 3-celled. Berry f-- in., cylindric from a hemi- 

 spheric base, usually at least as long as broad, glaucous, black-purple, crowned by a 

 flat pentagonal disc. 



SECT. II. Cyclocodon (Gen. Griffith}. Perennial, erect herbs, with 

 long spreading branches. Leaves opposite. Inflorescence terminal. Calyx-lobes 

 narrow. Corolla small, with a very short tube, white. Seeds ovoid, testa not 

 reticulated.

 calyx-tube adnate to the 5-celled ovary. C. truncata, Endl. Gen. Plant, i. 515.

SIKKIM HIMALAYA; alt. 4-6000 ft., frequent. CHITTAGOKO and BIRMA ; alt. 

 0-3000 ft., frequent. DISTRIB. Malaya, Ava, S. China. 



Erect, 3-4 ft. high with horizontal long and drooping branches. Leaves 3 by 1 in., 

 base cuneate or rounded, teeth sometimes obscure, glabrous or with scattered hairs, 

 often glaucous beneath ; petiole ^-\ in. Flowers solitary, terminal, and in the forks 

 of a dichotomous cyme; peduncle ^ in. Calyx in bud very shortly adnate to the ovary, 

 in fruit adnate shortly or half way up, sometimes nearly to the base of the corolla ; 

 teeth - in., linear-lanceolate, usually serrate. Corolla |- by \ in., epigynous, 

 very shortly campanulate, white, fading somewhat into yellow, but not at all lurid 

 .glaucous as in sect. Eucampanumea. Ovary 5-6-celled. Berry $ in. diam., globose, 

 white, little succulent, ultimately dry and breaking up irregularly. The Amoy 

 species admitted by Bentham (Gen. PL ii. 558) as having a 6-merous corolla, does not 

 differ from the 6-merous Pegu plant. 



4. C. parviflora, Benth. in Gen. PI. ii. 558; leaves shortly petioied lan- 

 ceolate caudate-serrate, calyx free from the 4-celled ovary. Codonopsis parvi- 

 flora, Wall. Cat. 1300; DC. Prodr. vii. 423. Cyclocodon distans, Griff. Notul.

SIKKIM, BHOTAN and KHASIA MTS. ; alt. 1-5000 ft., common. 



Closely resembling C. celebica, and united with it by Kurz, but the calyx is 

 entirely free, and \-^ in. below the fruit. This degree of adherence of the calyx is, 

 however, so very variable in C. celebica, that Kurz does not distinguish this species by
