A REVISION OF THE INDIAN SPECIES OF LEEA. 141

lax, petals green rubescent towards the base, lobes of the staminal 
tube conic-subulate, berry black, seeds grooved without tubercles.

Wallich has noted “ large tree” on his specimens. This s 
resembles much the large forms of L. sambucina, but the tobes of 
the staminal tube are acute entire. The seeds, which I have 
examined in all the nue EE examples of Griffith se Wallich, are 
SN as those of L. sambucina. The leaflets are sometimes as 
much as 11 by 34 in

From Moulmein to Tavoy, apparently frequent, Kurz. 
I have given this most obscure species a horrible name, as no 
other Leea has Aeon meso much. The ee of all my Leeas, 
which I had supposed L. gigantea, have a +-shaped gr ee down 
the back, jaeead’ at a tubercled keel ; and therefare both Kurz and © 
Dr. King have allele told me that I was mistaken about L. 
gigantea, Griff. I now find that, in all Griffith’s material an nd in all 
his pictures, hees't is but one form of seed which is tubercled 
neither on the keel nor on the sides. I have sometimes imagine 
that by a slip it was meant that the pyrenes were tubercled on the 
keel and sides. Such an imagination can hardly be hazarded with 
regard to two such botanists as Kurz an King: and, moreover, 
s; they e
