176 S. Kurz — Contributions towards a Knowledge [No. 3, 



Very near to V. pallida, WA., as Lawson has pointed out, but the 

 axillary cymes distinguish it from that species. 



21. V. kepens, WA. Prod. I. 125 ; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 616.— (Cissus 

 repens, Lamk. Diet. I. 31 ; DC. Prod. I. 628 ; Rheed. Hort. Malab. VII. 

 t. 48 ; V. glauca, WA. Prod. I. 126 ; Cissus glauca, Roxb. Fl. Ind. I. 106 ; 

 DC. Prod. I. 628 ; Cissus glauca, Roxb. Fl. Ind. I. 406 ; Cissus Blumeana, 

 Steud. Nomencl ; Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 1/2. 605 ; Cissus cerifera, T. et B. in 

 Natuurk. Tydsch. Ned. Ind. XXIV. 324). 



Hab. Frequent as well in the tropical as in the moister mixed forests, 

 all over Burma, from Chittagong and Ava down to Tenasserim and the 

 Andamans.— Fl. R. S. ; Fr. C. S. 



22. V. adnata, Wall. ap. WA. Prod. I. 126 ; Wight Icon. t. 144 ; 

 Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 649.— (Cissus adnata, Roxb. Fl. Ind. I. 405). 



Vae. a. g-labkiob, Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. I. 87, all parts 

 more glabrous, leaves only along the nerves beneath pubescent. 



Var. B. communis, all parts more or less rusty tomentose ; leaves above 

 glabrous or puberulous, beneath wholly or only along the nerves tomentose. 



Hab. Var. a. rarely in the hill-toungyas of the Martaban hills, at 

 3000 — 4000 ft. elevation ; var. 3. frequent in all leaf-shedding forests and in 

 shrubberies and village-bushes, more especially along choungs, all over Bur- 

 ma and adjacent provinces. — Fl. Close of R. S. ; Fr. H. S. 



23. V. Linnjei, Kurz, non Wall.* — (Cissus vitiginea, L. sp. pi. 117 ; 

 Roxb. Fl. Ind. 1. 406; V. repanda, WA. Prod. I. 125; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 

 648). 



Hab. Frequent as well in the mixed and open forests as also in shrub- 

 beries and grass jungles, all over Burma and adjacent provinces down to 

 Tenasserim.— Fl. H. S. and Close of R. S. ; Fr. C. S. 



Lawson identifies Roxburgh's Cissus vitiginea with V. lanata, but he 

 has never formed a clear conception of the difference between the inflorescence 

 of the Fife-section and that of the Cissus-seckion : hence the error. 



24. V. latifolia, Roxb. Fl. Ind. I. 661 ; WA. Prod. I. 130 ; Hf. 

 Ind. Fl. I. 652. 



Hab. Frequent in the savannahs and savannah jungles, also in shrub- 

 beries and village woods, but rather rare in the leaf-shedding forests, all 

 over the Pegu plains, especially in the Sittang valley ; also Andamans, in 

 forests.— Fl. Apr. May. 



N. B. — V. vinifera, L. is often seen cultivated by Europeans, and 

 is said to bear good grapes in Ava. 



* Whose name has to be changed into Vitis angulata (Cissus angulata, Lamk.). Mr. 

 C. B. Clarke informs me, that raj 'Vitis spectabilis is not a climber, but a perfectly erect 

 perennial about 2 ft. high, nearly simple, without tendrils. It grows in the Sikkim 

 Terai only.
