 Bomb. Fl. 199, not of Roxb. P. cordifoUa, Grab. Cat. PI. Bomb. 155, 

 not of Roxb. Chambari, Vern. Konkan and North Kanara ghats, in 

 moist forests. Common from Ainshi southwards. The large purple 

 corymbs (not greenish-yellow) and young leaves appear in Apl., May. 

 Fr. ripe June, an ornamental climber. Clarke no doubt follows Dalzell 

 and Graham as to the colour of the flowers ; but my plant, determined at 

 Kew and Calcutta, has the corymbs purplish and not greenisli-jellow.

 Throughout the Konkan and North Kanara, usually near the sea-coast. 

 Fl. June, July. Fr. ripe July, Aug. The greenish-yellow flowers have a 

 peculiar odour. The seeds are pear-shaped with a fluted top — one to 

 each fruit, not 3-4, in the North Kanara plant. P. cordi/olia, Dal55. & 

 Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 199 ; Grab. Cat. Bomb. PI. 155, is doubtfully referred 

 to P. corymhosa, Rottl. in the Fl. of Br. I. by Clarke; it is noted from 

 Khandala on the Konkan ghats ; leaves long acuminate, seeds rough. 

 Is this simply a form of P. integrifolia, Linn. ? In Graham's Catalogue, 

 p. 155, there is a species, called P. Nimmoniana, G. (gura, l-al gura, 

 Vern.), which is said to grow at Mahabaleshvar, also on the Rotunda 

 ghat. This species is not quoted iu the Fl. Br. I.
