NOTICED IN" THE PRECEDING TOUR. 3jS 



the judgment of a better botanist, but it will bear 

 comparison M'itli the next genus Echites, I think. 



Echifes Antidijsentricum. Rox. — A small tree in the 

 forests about Hurdzvar. Leaves opposite, half or 

 sub-petioled, ovate, oblong, pointed, entire, waved, 

 smooth, shining, one nerved, with many pairs of 

 lateral, parallel, ribs. The Linnean characters of 

 the fructification, do not strictly agree with this 

 plant. The nectary is here wanting. Anthers al^ 

 most at the bottom of the tube, filaments, scarcely 

 any. The follicles agree with those of Neriiun An- 

 tidysentricum. The seeds are in great repute among 

 the natives of Hindustan as a vermifuge. 



Genus not determined. — A small tree, or rather large 

 bush, growing by the road side near Teyka-ka-Ma- 

 anda. Leaves about the tops of the branches, irre- 

 gularly opposite, petioled, ovate, variously pointed, 

 serrated, smooth, one nerved ; petioles short. Flow- 

 ers panicled about the ends of the branches — 

 yellowish, -^vith many brov/n veins, more coloured 

 above. Calyx five cleft, expanding, the divisions 

 slightly lacerated at the edges, rounded, coloured. 

 Corol, five petaled — petals oblong, ovate, obtuse, 

 twice larger than the calyx, with a short claw. 

 Filaments five, shorter than the corol, enlarged be- 

 low, and resembling the germ, slightly coalescing 

 at the base into a ring. Anthers oblong, erect. 

 Germ above, orbicular, smooth, the size of the 

 glandulous base of the] stamens, in the center of 

 them. Style the length of the stamens, filiform, stig- 

 ma simple, truncated. Pericarp, not seen. 



PENTAXDRIA DIGYNIA. 



Apocynum. — A strong climbing bush, spreading itself 

 with much profusion over the under wood of fo- 

 rests between Dosah and Sir'inagur. The flowers 

 numerous, pure white, and highly scented, size of 

 a primrose, branches cylindrical, opposite, leaves in 

 the same order, petioled, lance-ovate, entire, 

 smooth; petioles short. CaJyx five-parted, small, 

 lanced, downy. Corol one petaled, v/heeled, tube, 



A a 2 length
