 tioles, round. Pedicels clavate, as long as the petioles, villous. — 

 Sractes two, opposite, at the base of the pedicels, lanceolate. — Ca- 

 lycine leaflets ovate. Corol large, of a beautiful lively pink colour, 

 margins almost entire. — Filaments not half the length of the corol, 

 villous at the base. Anthers purple. — Germ with a yellow ring

 linear, spreading lobes. 



Obs. I must leave the European Botanist to determine how near- 

 ly this is allied to arvensis, a plant I have never seen in India if this 

 be not it.*

Found in various parts of India, in flower during the rainy and 

 cool seasons.

Annual, leaves short-petioled, sub-cuneate, with sagittate, acute- 

 ly dentate, posterior lobes, and a somewhat retuse, or rounded tri- 

 dentate apex. Peduncles filiform, one-, rarely, two-flowered. 



* This species is exceedingly like C. arvsnsis, and C clunemis, (Edw. Rot. Regisf. 

 4. 822,) especially the latter, from which it seems only to differ in the dentate and 

 angular auricles of its leaves, and the two-flowered peduncles— N. W.
