1919.] Plants from Behar and Orissa. 311 
cultivated varieties. Having much other work to attend to 
when I first observed this little plant, I had unfortunately no 
time to collect more than a single specimen. This solitary one 
has been deposited in the Calcutta Herbarium with specimens 
_of the other plants here described. The fruit is still unknown 
and the plant should be looked for in grass glades in the 
Sambalpur, Bamra and Rairakhol forests. It probably extends 
its distribution into Madras. 
Aglaia Haslettiana is a tree of which the fruit still remains 
to be collected and Oldenlandia arenaria is a little plant found 
in the sands of the Orissa coast. 
One of the most interesting little plants in the province 
which I at first included in this list is a species of Lawia, 
he amalgamates all the known Ceylon and Indian species into 
one, Lawia zeylanicum, a somewhat refreshing change to the 
usual hair-splitting tendencies of the present day, I think the 
Angul plant should certainly be included in that species also. 
It differs by its exceedingly minute leaves and the absence of 
ribs on the capsule. Willis, however, points out the excessive 
variability of the size of the leaves, and as the ribs are repre- 
sented by delicate nerves, the differences are not sufficient to 
separate it. Hitherto, excepting two species from Indo-China 
T have found no record of a Terniola except in Ceylon and on 
the western side of India. 
The photographs being taken from dried specimens are 
not in all cases very clear.
