608 PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. Celosie.

 the long antheriferous divisions,

Hind. Debkotee.

Belutta-adeka-manjen, Ibid. 75 t. 38. I take for the same plant 

 in its wild state; at least the wild plants of argentea found in the 

 cornfields of India, are more stunted in their growth, but have their 

 leaves broader, and the spikes shorter, as in the figure just quoted ; 

 and I am inclined to think Willdenow's albida, consequently Bur- 

 man's pyramidalis, can, at most, be reckoned only another variety of 

 the same species. Plants from the same seed have leaves of very 

 various breadth, and are as often with, as without the falcate stipules. 



2. C. cristata, Willd. spec. i. 1 193. 



Annual, erect. Leaves oblong-ovate, peduncled, round, striated. 

 Spikes oblong.

1 have never been able to find any other species or variety in In- 

 dia, that I could refer to C. coccinea. I cannot consider the bread tii 

 of the leaves, nor falcate stipules, to be any more characteristic in 

 this than in argentea and its varieties. 



In gardens only throughout India, and thrives best during the rainy 

 and cold seasons.
