A REVISION OF THE INDIAN SPECIES OF LEEA. 108 
from the base of the Garrow Hills to Muneypoor, Wallich, H./. & T., 
&c. ; common and often collected. 
A succulent, weak under- era 2-3 feet high, with large flaccid 
leaves, and the whole corymb coralloid- red, growing in moist shade 
Uppermost leaves net always bipinnate ; eae round, not stout ; 
uppermost leaflets oblong, lowest eaflets often ovate ; petiolules 
ft b 
not dotted beneath : primary nerves on each side the midrib 10, 
4 in. apart; secondary nerves somewhat close, parallel, and promi- 
nent : leaflets usually obscurely toothed, with 1-8 teeth for each 
main nerve, sometimes with blunt distant crenatures ; stipules 
early deciduous. Corymb RePnen ‘a E pean pig and bracteoles 
on ing buds only. Lobes of the 
staminal tube subquadrate, ecient io 4-1 in. diam., with 
4-6 carpels.—Lawson has placed this with L. sa thongs 
Hook. f. had noted the scarlet pedicels and flowers. It can be 
generally separated in the herbarium by the fies oubcaiee inflo- 
r bu 
examples, where the pubescence of the corymb is nearly lost, are 
more difficult to distinguish.—Kurz has Soma icated an Andaman 
example marked ‘ L. yyy ilar 7? bot it, 4d, ..L, seeks 
L. sambucina, Willd. ; there is no of the colour, but the young 
corymb is glabrescent, the leaflets Ts toothed. 
. L. uma, Wall. List, 6831, et Ic. ined. in Herb. Kew.—Upper 
leaves bipiniatel leaflets large, acuminate, dotted beneath ; corym 
very stout, minutely rusty villous, on very stout short peduncles —

18 Species is not known to me alive : i¥ seems so near L. acumi- 
nata that I imagine ieee ine néltided L. acuminata under his descrip- 
tion of L. le However, the Bengal L. acuminata is a succulent 
plant, and ode r shows the thick peduncle, short corymb, and dotted 
leaves of L. / 
6. occinga, Planch. in Hort. Donat. 6.— Upper leaves 
bipinnate ; leaflets oblong, lanceolate- -caudate, glabrous ; corymbs 
short- peduneled, g glabrous ; petals rose-red, staminal tube a ees

Not mates in the savannahs and savannah forests of 
Pegu ; rarely in the ‘iluvial forests of Martaban,”’ Kurz. 
This species is inserted as Indian on the authority of Kurz: 
an : 
Planch., is attogdibes unknown; but I cannot distinguish the 
cultivated specimens from some of the African examples call 
L. coccinea by Bojer (Hort. Maurit. 61). L. coccinea much resembles
