Ceylon.” Voigt, EL S. C., p. 472: “L. aculeata, L. Jamaica an 
most W. Indian Islands, where it is called Wild Sage, on account of 
its strongly aromatic smell.’ oxb., Hort. Beng., p. 46. Of some 
interest is also LANTANA INDICA, Roxb. This grows in most parts 
of Bengal. In the Flora of British India it is stated that it is 
for Roxburgh says that it is a native of Mysore, whence Dr. 
eyne sent seeds to the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, ‘where the 
plants thrive luxuriantly.” It does not appear to have been a 
common plant in Bengal in 1840, ag! the only remark that stands 
against Lantana indica in Voigt . S.C. is: “ Mysore. Com- 
mon about Dharwar. FI. small, Yight purple, inodorous. R, 8.; 
fr,:0.”

is also mentioned in Roxb., Hort. Beng., p. 4 
158. Liepra Geminata, H. B. K. B. P., ii, p. 825. Col. 
Prain treats it as indigenous. C. B. Clarke in F. B. I., iv, p. 564, 
also appears to consider it so, for he writes: “ Bengal, frequent ; 
below Dacca, J. D. H., etc. Distrib. Trop. America, a widely 
dispersed weed.” Voigt enumerates Lantana canescens, Kunth, 
which may, or more likely, may not be Lippia geminata. Possibl 
Lippia geminata may have been overlooked by the earlier authors 
in consequence of its great resemblance to Lantana indica. 
159. Duranta Promtert, Jacg. B. ii, p. 827: “In gar- 
dens and shrubberies in all provinces, | planted ; ot men also 
subspontaneous in village thickets in al.” : a 
iv, p. 960: “ Duranta, a large American bush, is is cultiva- 
ted in India,” Voigt, H. S. C., p. 4712 “W. Indies.” Not 
mentioned by Roxburgh. The freedom with which it produces 
f and seeds would lead one to expect this shurb to sprea 
much more copiously into the jungles of Bengal than it does, In- 
deed it is rarely met with in localities where it may not have been 
lanted
