The descriptiou given in Hook. F1. 

 Brit. Ind. is as follows : " A small tree 

 with straggling branehes. Leixves 4-G by 

 1^-2 in., ovate, with a rounded base, fine- 

 ly serrate, the veins strongly reticulated 

 beneath; petioles |-|in. Spikes 2-3 in., 

 erect. Ben-ies the sizc of a small jiea." 



Our plant does not very esaetly 

 accord with the above description. It is 

 nearcr to thc Himalayan siiccies than to 

 the Japanese S. j^rcccox. In our plaut, 

 the rhaches of the sjiikes are greenish ; 

 sepals, pctals aud fihxraents are greenish 

 white ; ovary deep green, more or less 

 angulate at the top. Flowers of the Ja- 

 panese sjiecies are usually briglit ycllow.
