Dioecious, remarkable for its minute flowers, and in this respect resem- 

 bling V. pubiflora, Miq. (syn. V. peduncularis, Lawson). Lawson says 

 that it has no tendrils, but in this he is mistaken. I believe it to be 

 Roxburgh's C. feminea, but not having seen the female flowers, I hesitate 

 to pronounce its identity with that species. Lawson confidently reduces C. 

 feminea to a synonym of V. lanceolaria, but the digitate leaves alone forbid 

 a comparison with it. 



16. V. qttadrangujlarts. Wall. ap. WA. Prod. I. 125 ; Wight Icon, 

 t. 51 ; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 615. — {Cissus quadrangular is, L. Mant. 39 ; Roxb. 

 Fl. Ind. I. 407). 



Hab. Frequent in wild shrubby and waste places and in the dry 

 forests of the Prome district ; also Ava. — Fl. Nov. 



17. V. pentagona, Voigt Cat. Hort. Calc. 28 ; Kurz in Journ. As. 

 Soc. Beng. 1870. 71 ; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 616.— {Cissus pentagona, Roxb. Fl. 

 Ind. I. 10S). 



Hab. Not unfrequent in the tropical forests of the eastern slopes of 

 the Pegu Yomah, and from Chittagong and Arracan down to the Anda- 

 mans. — Fl. Octob. ; Fr. Apr. May. 



In Journ. As. Soc. I. c., I stated that Cissus hastata, Miq. ( = V. has- 

 tata, Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. 1863. I. 85., a species which Lawson 12 

 years later rechristens V. sagittifolia, Laws, in Hf. Ind. Fl. 1875. I. 615) 

 was identical with V. glaberrima, Wall. This is an error, which arose 

 from my having solely consulted the Wallichian specimens of V. glaber- 

 rima, which all happen to be V. liastata. 



18. V. discolor, Dalz. in Hook. Kew. Misc. II. 39 ; Miq Ann. Mus. 

 Lugd. Bat. T. 86 ; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 617, excl. syn. V. costata. — {Cissus dis- 

 color, Bl. Bydr. 281 ; Bot. Mag. t. 4763 ; Cissus velutinus, Linden in 

 Bot. Mag. t. 5207). 



Var. a. discolor, leaves usually spotted, purplish beneath, on very 

 long petioles (at least the lower ones) ; cymes peduncled. 



Var. (3. sessilis, Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. I. 86, cymes sessile 

 and umbelately branched already from the base. 



Hab. Var. a. frequent in the tropical forests and moister bamboo- 

 jungles, from Arracan, the Pegu Yomah, and Martaban down to Tenasserim 

 and the Andamans ; var. /3. in the Martaban hills, east of Tounghoo. — Fl.
