NOTES ON PART XI 



LYTHRACEAE. 



ROTALA FYSONI, Blatt. & Hallb. in J. B. N.H.S. xxv, 709, is, I consider, 

 B. illecebroides, Koehne. 



ONAGRACEAE. 



In <Kew Bull.,' 1924, 236, Mr. Gamble drew attention to a paper by 

 Mr. N. Ridley in * Journ. Bot.,' 1921, 257, in which it was shown that 

 Jussieua suffruticosa,~Linn., as described in *F. B. I. 'ii. 587, comprises 

 more than one species. Mr. Ridley further identifies the true J. 

 suffruticosa, Linn., with J. fissendocarpa, Haines, of which one sheet 

 from Malabar is in the Kew Herbarium. This latter sheet, which 

 appears not to differ from Haines's specimens from Purneah, however, 

 has been identified by Dr. Lewin, of Berlin, as J. linifolia, Vahl. After 

 comparing the Malabar sheet with American specimens of the last- 

 named species, I agree with Dr. Lewin's determination. It is not 

 the J. suffruticosa, Linn., based on the description of " Karambu " in 

 * Hort. Malab.' ii., 55, t. 49. For the rest I agree with Mr. Ridley, and 

 in the Addenda three species of Jussieua have been added. 



GRAMINEAE. 



Too late for quoting in any part of the * Flora,' I have seen a 

 copy of ' Bombay Grasses ' by Rev. E. Blatter and C. McCann, with 

 illustrations by R. K. Bhide. The illustrations will greatly facilitate 

 identification, and as many of the grasses are common to the two 

 areas this work is mentioned here. 



THELEPOGON ELEGANS, Roth. When dealing with the Gramineae 

 in Part X, I had seen no specimen from the area included in the * Flora,' 

 but since then one collected in the northern part of the Hyderabad 

 State has come to hand. 



ANDROPOGON MICRANTHUS, Kunth. No specimen of this species 

 was forthcoming until after the publication of Part X. One sheet 

 from Horsleykonda has turned up, and the species has been included 

 in the Addenda as CAPILLIPEDIUM PARVIFLORUM, Stapf.
