426 Capt. N. Vicary's I^otes on the Botany of Sinde. 



RfiSEDACEiE. 



8. Ochradenus baccaius, Delile : Lower Sinde. I believe this 

 to be the Egyptian plant, although the Sinde one differs in some 

 trifling particulars ; my specimens are not sufficiently advanced 

 to show the spinifacient habit. 



VlOLACEiE. 



9. Viola patrinii, D.C. : Kurrachee and Hala mountains. 



Reaumukiace^. 



10. Reaumuria HypericoideSjWiid.: Doz Akhooshtee, and spurs 

 of the Hala mountains. 



The leaves of the Sinde plant are spatulate-linear and crowded 

 to the ends of the branches. 



Sapindace^. 



11. Dodonaa Burmanniana, D.C. : Lower Sinde. This shrub 

 is not more than three feet in height, with leaves about an inch 

 in length, never more, and blunt cuneate-linear. I have some 

 doubt as to the species ; there is another in Sinde of which I 

 have no specimens. 



MALVACEiE. 



12. Althaa pumila, Vic. : near Shikarpoor. Plant herbaceous, 

 from six to ten inches. 



Stems slender, stellately hairy, stipules ovate, leaves stellate, 

 hairy on both sides, lower ones caudate at base, palmately three- 

 partite with the lateral lobes bifid, the apices roundly tridentate, 

 mid-lobe cuneate, the apex roundly three- five-toothed. Flowers 

 very shortly pedicelled, axillaiy, blue. Involucre ten-cleft with 

 linear lobes. Calyx half five-cleft, with acute lobes ; anthers about 

 ten ; styles ten, filiform. Stigmas capitate. Carpels arranged 

 round a central shortly ten-winged columella, the apex of which 

 is filiform, not marginate, transversely corrugate, one-seeded. 



13. Pavonia odorata, Wild. : between Kurrachee and Hydera- 

 bad. 



14. Serrcea incana, Cav. : sand-hills, Kurrachee. This plant is 

 rather pretty when in flower ; it forms small bushes about two feet 

 in height. Anthers twenty-five to thirty, stipitate, reniform, one- 

 celled, stigmas ciliate. 



15. Abutilon Indicum : Sinde and Hala mountains. 



16. Sida acuta : plains of Sinde. 



TlLIACE^. 



17. Antichoiiis {Corchoms) depressus, Linn. : Khangurh and 

 borders of desert. 



18. Ch'ewia sapida ? : all hilly places in Sinde. I have doubt-
