it T. Heyneana ; subsequently to hare placed with it a large quantity of a Khasian 

 species, T. Candollii, Clarke, -which he distributed as T. Heyneana. 



3. T. reticosa, Wight Ic. t. 1386 ; leaves oblong acuminate glabrescent 

 prominently reticulate beneath, corolla-tube ^- in. 



NILGHEBRIES & COORD ; Wight. 



Branchlets softly, sparsely hairy. Leaves 5 by 1 1 in., base rhomboid or rounded, 

 mature very sparsely hairy above ; nerves 8 pair, tertiary densely anastomosing ; 

 petiole ^- in. Cymes terminal ; flowers sub-1-serial ; pedicels (at flower-time) J~-fa 

 in. Calyx-teeth T \-^ in. Drupe not seen. 



4. T. Wigflitii, Clarke ; leaves subcordate ovate-lanceolate mature hairy 

 beneath, corolla-tube ^- in. 



DECCAN PENINSULA ; Wight. 



More hairy than the preceding species. Leaves 3| by If in. ; nerves 8 pair, sub- 

 impressed on the upper surface, tertiary obscure; petiole in. Cyme extra- 

 axillary; flowers sub-1-serial; pedicels (at flower-time) 0-^ in. Calyx-teeth \ in., 

 lanceolate-linear. Drupe not seen. This differs (inter alia) from T. reticosa by the 

 primary nerves being much more approximate. 



** Drupes sessile or nearly so (species of Bengal and the E, Peninsula}. 



5. T. Roxburg-hii, Clarke; leaves oblong acuminate shortlv densely 

 vtllous beneath, calyx-teeth lanceolate-linear, corolla-tube in. 



CHITTAGONG ; Seetakoond, Bindravun, Eungamuttea, J. L. H., &c. 



Branches hairy. Leaves 4 by 1 in., sometimes subovate, not rugose above, tertiary 

 nerves obscurely reticulated; petiole ^ in. Ci/nu's terminal and supra-axillary; 

 flowers sub-2-seriate. Calyx-teeth ^ in. Drupes - in., sessile, sub-2-seriate ; calyx 

 not glistening white within. Easily separated from all other species of this subsec- 

 tion by its longer corolla. Roxburgh collected his Ltthospermwn viridiflorum in 

 Chittagong (where this is the only species known, and is frequent, on Roxburgh's 

 collecting ground near Sir"W. Jones's country-seat), and his description seems (at least 

 partly) drawn therefrom : but his picture, and the Calcutta Botanic Garden authentic 

 examples, refer to the next species. 



6. T. viridiflora, Watt. Cat. 907, and in Fl . Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. 

 ii. 5; leaves oblong acuminate softly hairy beneath, calyx-teeth lanceolate- 

 linear, corolla-tube in. DC. Pi'odr. ix. 516. Lithospermuui viridiflorum, Roxb. 

 FL Ind. ed. Carey $ Wall. ii. 4. Heliotropium viridiflorum, Lehni. Asperifol. 30, 



ASSAM ; Griffith, Masters. SILHET ; Wallich. 



Branches hairy. Leaves 3 by 1^ in., sometimes subovate, in age wrinkled above, 

 tertiary nerves obscure ; petiole ^ in. Cymes terminal, rusty-villous ; flowers 2- 

 ranked, very dense. Calyx-teeth -fa in. Corolla-tube little exceeding the calyx-teeth, 

 not exceeding in. in the large cultivated examples from the Calcutta garden. Drupe* 

 ^- in., sessile; calyx-lobes in fruit very narrow, not white glistening within. 



VAR. Griffithii ; mature leaves nearly glabrous beneath distinctly reticulated.

7. T. Candollii, Clarke \ leaves ovate-lanceolate softly hairy beneath, 

 calyx-teeth lanceolate-linear corolla-tube in. T. Heyneana, DC. Prodr. ix, 

 516 ; Wall. Cat. 910, as to the Khasia examples. 



BHOTAN, ASSAM, KHASIA, and SILHET, frequent ; Wallich, Griffith, &c. 



Branches hairy. Leaves 3^ by H in., sometimes oblong, base obtuse or subcordate ; 

 primary nerves soon impressed on the upper surface, tertiary very obscurely reticu- 

 lated ; petiole 5- in. Calyx-teeth -^ in., in fruit narrowly lanceolate, not glistening 

 white within. Drupes -^ in., sessile. This species is remote from T. Heyneana : it 

 is nearly intermediate between T. viridiflora and T. ovata, differing little from T. 

 riridiflora, var. Griffithii. but in the longer corolla.
