original specimens were from Nepaul, and are described as having 

 the young parts hoary ; this is hot the case with Bombay speci- 

 mens ; flowers in the cold weather. 



33. TRICHOLEPIS GLABERRIMA, p 131. 

 (Description revised.} 



Larger leaves below elliptic oblong, attenuated towards the base, 

 where it forms a kind of winged petiole, acuminated at the apex, 

 rather coarsely and sharply serrated, the serratures cuspidate on 

 their margins, scabrous, 4 to 6 inches long, 2 inches broad, upper- 

 most leaves linear acute, 2 to 3 inches long, 4 lines broad, with a 

 few very distant small teeth ; heads of flowers smaller than in T 

 montana, with the scales of the involucre glabrous (not araneose) ; 

 outer florets spreading ; stigmas exserted, erect, and not separating 

 one from the other, surrounded with a brush of hairs at the base ; 

 corol 7 lines long. 



CXIX. PIPERACE^E, p 225. 

 1. PIPER, Linn. 



2. P HOOKERI, Miquel in Hook. Jour. Bot. iv, 437. Branch- 

 lets, petioles, peduncles, and nerves, on the under side of the leaves 

 hairy ; leaves between coriaceous and membranaceous, thickly 

 pellucid dotted, smooth above, broadly ovate and equal-sided, shortly 

 acuminate ; the acumen obtuse, 5 to 7-nerved ; peduncle longer than 

 the petiole ; bracts oblong, decurrent and adnate ; ovary ovate ; 

 stigmas 4, short, thick, puberulous. Common on the Mahableshwur 

 Hills, and easily distinguished by the rather long petioles being 

 thickly clothed with whitish hairs.

12. U AMPELOS, Koenig. A large tree ; trunk short, thick, 

 often completely concealed by numerous small, very leafy branch- 

 lets, top very large, spreading to a great distance ; bark smooth, 

 ash-coloured ; leaves alternate, spreading, short-petioled, obliquely 

 oval, obtusely pointed, a little scolloped, scabrous, and very firm, 

 3 to 4 inches long ; petioles short-curved, channelled ; fruit axillary, 

 paired, peduncled, when ripe size of a pea, and yellow. We have 

 met with this tree in fruit on the western side of the Ghauts, but 

 the specimens did not come up to the above description as to its 

 being either large or spreading. The natives called it " Datir."
