ONAGBABIE^. 



190. Jusslea villosa, Lamk. — Locally frequent along marshy rivu- 

 lets on the grass-heaths of Kamorta. 



SAMTBACE^. 



191. Caseaeia glabeata, Bl., var. leaves larger and hroader at the 

 base, which is more rounded or almost cordate on the one side, in this 

 respect more resembling those of O. angustata, T. et B., which may turn out 

 to be only a form of it. Capsules fleshy, elliptical, nearly an inch long, 

 smooth and glabrous. A tree (30 — 50 feet + 15 — 20 + 3 — 4) rare in 

 the tropical forests of Kamorta. 



BASSIFLOBACEJE. 



192. Modecca coedifolia, Bl. — Great Nicobar (Novara 155 ; Je- 

 linek 229 — unaha, inc.). To this should be referred M. heterophylla of 

 my Andam. Bep. App. A. 39 (not of Blume) . 



193. Modecca Nicobabica, Kurz in Trim. Journ. Bot. 1875, 326. 

 Frequent in the beach-forests of Katchall ; Nankowry (Novara 156 ; 

 Jelinek 148 — tenjam, inc.). 



*194. Caeica papaya, L. — Cultivated and occasionally like wild in 

 the beach-forests of Kamorta and Katchall. (Novara 157 ; Jelinek) ; 

 lapu, inc. Katch. 



CTTCUBBITACEM. 



195. Gymnopetauum heteeopbzyllum, Kurz in Trim. Journ. Bot. 

 1875, 326. — Not unfrequent in the tropical forests and locally in recently 

 cultivated parts of the grass-heaths of Kamorta. 



N. B. The difference between Trichosanthes and Gymnopetalum is 

 very slight indeed. The corolla in Trich. integrifolia (Cucumis integri- 

 folia, Boxb.) is as often entire as it is irregularly and more or less deeply 

 cut ; the colour of the corolla thus alone remains as a distinguishing mark 

 between the two genera ! 



196. Lagenabia yulgaeis, Savi, var. ? — Wild or like wild along 

 the beach-forests of Katchall. The petioles and leaves are covered with 

 bristles arising from calcareous incrassate tubercles ; the fruits are of the 

 shape and size of large billiard-balls. 



197. Lufea cylindeica, Boem. — Along the outskirts of the tropi- 

 cal forests of Kamorta. 



*198. BEisrnsrcASA ceeifeea, Savi. — Cultivated and as wild in the 

 neglected " gardens" on the grass-heaths of Kamorta. 



*199. Cucumis melo, L., var. utilissima, Naud. — Kamorta, as wild 

 in neglected "gardens" on the grass-heaths.
