I have found this well known plant, or one very closely allied to it 

 on Chundrtfgz'n and at Thankote. At first I thought it a distinct spe- 

 cies and called it I. glandulijera. Its stem is fleshy, thick, jointed, 

 branchy, pale-green, at length brownish, a little pubescent towards 

 the top. Leaves alternate, very close together, narrow-lanceolate, acu- 

 minate, serrate, each serrature ending in an ascending cuspis, about 

 three inches long, a little pubescent above, smooth, and pallid under- 

 neath, on petiols half an inch long, furnished on each side of the fur- 

 row with a pair or two of sessile, concave, fleshy glands. Peduncles 

 axillary, geminate, one-flowered, pubescent, a little longer than the pe« 

 tiols ; when fruit-bearing reflexed.— Flowers large, pale purple, a lit- 

 tle pubescent on the outside. Calyx lanceolate, acute, ciliate, very 

 caducous. Petals precisely as in the Balsamina. Spur incurved, 

 becoming straight at length. — Capsule villous. — I. coccinea, Sims's 

 Bot. Mag. xxxi. 1256 seems to me scarcely to be different from the 

 plants described above. — N. YY\ 



2. I. tripetala, R. 



Leaves alternate, opposite and tern, broad-lanceolar, serrate. Pe- 

 duncles from one- to many-flowered. Corol three-petalled ; horn of the 

 ample nectary hooked.
