species. One of Horsfield's specimens is marked " Tring ampel;" it has o tainlv no 

 thorns, but I am not able to distinguish it in any other respect from the remaining spe- 



cimens. 



Miquel, at p. 418 of the "Mora India? Bata> ," state* that "Ampel " i- the 

 native name of his B. fera (Arundarbor force species prima of Humph). The style, 



ie some 



wlial 



deeply trifid to near the base, the very hirsute joints of the rhachilla, and 11 



3-horned fruit separate this species from B. spiaosa, Roxb., and its allies li. arundinare* 



and B. orien talis.
