The anterior sepal and spur bear, in mini-

I have some hesitation whether Z. bi- 
glandulosa, Moon's Cat. Ceyl. pl. p.18, may 
not belong to this: the glands are very 
conspicuous, but it is more probable that 
he would have derived its name from the 
size of the flower.

The above character agrees with a spe- 
cimen from the mountains of Ceylon, col- 
lected by Colonel Walker, as well as with 
those from Heyne's herbarium; but it 
is possible that differences exist in the 
INDIAN BALSAMINE. 
structure of the petals, which can only be — 
properly determined from living materials, 
or better dried specimens than I have yet 
seen : thus the Ceylon one appears to have 
the petals and posterior sepal nearly of a 
size, and the former curled on the margin 
as in J. Hookeriana ; in Heyne's plant, 
the sepal appears considerably smaller than 
the petals, which in the dried state do not 
seem at all waved: in both, the petals are 
nearly equally two-lobed. In the Penin- 
sular plant the glands are situated a little 
from the apex of the petiole : in the Cey- 
lon one, at the apex, as in J. Hookervana.
