1. T. Govanii, Dene, in DC. Prodr. viii. 610; stem simple pubescent, 

 leaves subsessile oblong elliptic or obovate, umbels simple peduncled, sepals 

 linear, corolla-lobes lanceolate, coronal processes gibbous. Iphisia Govanii, 

 Wight Contrib. 52 ; Wall. Cat. 8212. \ 7 incetoxicum montanum. Dene. I. c. 

 525. 



WESTERN HIMALAYA; Kunawur to Kumaon, alt. 7-8000 ft., Govan, &c. 



Eootstock slender, creeping. Stems 8-16 in., naked below. Leaves 1-1 by - 

 1^ in., rarely linear or almost orbicular, obtuse or apiculate. Umbels rarely sessile ; 

 pedicels capillary ; flowers dark purple, | in. diam. Anthers large for the size of the 

 column ; pollen-masses pendulous. Stigma umbonate. 



2. T. Helferi, Hook. f. ; softly pubescent, stem simple, leaves sessile 

 ovate or lanceolate acuminate, umbels simple long-peduncled, sepals linear, 

 corolla-lobes elongate-lanceolate, coronal processes gibbous. 



TENASSERIM; Heifer. 



Stem 8-12 in. Leaves 1.^-2 by ^-1 in., pubescent on both surfaces, base rounded. 

 Peduncle strict, equalling the leaves* pedicels capillary. Corolla | in. diam., purple ?, 

 lobes caudate. Follicles ] in., poniard- shaped, pubescent. The position of the 

 pollen-masses I could not ascertain, owing to the imperfection of the specimens. 



3. T. fasciculata, Ham. in Wight Contrib. 50 ; Ic. t. 848 ; stem 

 simple or branched glabrous below finely puberulous above, leaves petioled 

 ovate or lanceolate acute glabrous, cymes peduncled umbellifomi simple or 

 compound, sepals lanceolate, corolla-lobes broadly ovate, coronal processes 

 globose, follicles short turgid. Wall. Cat. 8204 ; Dene, in DC. Prodr. viii. 608; 

 Dalz. $ Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 151. 



SOUTH NEPAL ; at Sukanagur, Hamilton. SOUTH CONCAN ; Bababoodan hills, &c. ; 

 Law, Dalzell, &c. 



Stems several from the root, 12-18 in., flexuous or climbing amongst grass. 

 Leaves 1-2 by f-l in., coriaceous; petiole j-1 in. Peduncles slender; pedicels 

 capillary. Corolla % in. diam., fleshy in the Nepal specimens. Pollen-masses hori- 

 zontal according to Wight, but I think erect. Follicles 1^-2 by -f in., ovoid-lanceo- 

 late ; pericarp very thick, glabrous. Seeds in. long, broadly ovoid, quite flat. 

 Wight correctly observes that the corpuscles in this and the following are almost 

 2-partite. 



4. T. macrantha. Hook. /. ; stem simple or branched finely pubescent, 

 leaves petioled ovate acute glabrous, cymes peduncled simple or subcompound, 

 sepals lanceolate, corolla-lobes ovate-lanceolate, coronal processes globose. T. 

 fasciculata var. macrantha, Wight Contrib. 50; Dene, in DC. Prodr. viii. 

 608. 



NELGHERRY MTS., Wight, &c. PEGU, Col. Eyre (in Herb. Calcutt.} 



This has the habit and foliage of T. fasciculata, but the flowers are twice as large, 



and the corolla-lobes ovate-lanceolate. The Pegu specimens seem identical with the 



Nilgherry ones. Fruit unknown. 



5. T. Iphisia, Dene, in DC. Prodr. viii. 610; quite glabrous, stem 

 branched flexuous, leaves petioled ovate or lanceolate acuminate, cymes branched, 

 sepals ovate, corolla subglobose, lobes ovate, coronal processes ovoid wholly 

 adnate to the base of large anthers. Deless. Ic. Sel. v. t. 82 ; Wight III. t. 

 155 bis f. e. Ic. t. 1276. Iphisia multiflora, Wight $ Am. Contrib. 52. T.
