602 LXIT. PASSiFLOEBiB. (M. T. Masters.) [Modecca, 



beneath the throat. Corona none (?). Glands of the disc 5, small, oblong, at the 

 base of the calyx-tube, opposite to its lobes. Stamens 5 ; anthers subsessile, erect, 

 linear; connective long, thread-like. Endimentary ovary fusiform. Fruit 2 in., 

 long, glabrous, fusiform. — Maingay's specimens, like Wallich's, are very imperfect, 

 but the two are sufficiently alike to leave no doubt of their specific identity. 



3. ItK. cardiophylla, Magt. ; leaves membranous long petioled cordate- 

 ovate acute shortly acuminate, anthers muticous. 



SiEKiM, Khasia Mts., and Assam. 



Glabrous. Branches terete. Leaves remote, 6-8 by 4-5 in., entire, rarely pal- 

 mately lobed, basal lobes rounded divaricate ; petiole 2-3 in., with a sessile gland 

 on either side at the apex. Cymes many-flowered, on a cylindrical peduncle as long 

 as the petiole, one branch cirrose. Male flowers J in., bell-shaped. Calyx leathery, 

 spotted, 5-lobed to the middle ; lobes oblong, obtuse. Petals membranous^ white, 

 ovate, obtuse, springing from about the middle of the tube. Androecmm membranous 

 and tubular below, above divided into five filaments ; anthers linear-ovate, acute. 

 Glands "f the disc 5, small, opposite to the sepals. Female flower : Calyx J in., 

 funnel-shaped, slightly dilated above the base, leathery, spotted; lobes oblong, 

 S-nerved. Petals membranous, springing from the Qiiddle of the calyx-tube, oblong, 

 1 -nerved, entire or minutely serrulate. Glands of the disc opposite the sepals, small, 

 oblong, curved. Barren stamens forming a shallow membranous tube, divided above 

 into filiform segments. Ovary raised on a short gynophore, ovoid, surmounted by a 

 large peltate stigma 'with 3 reflexed wedge-shaped laciniate lobes. — In foliage very 

 like the entire-leaved form of M. palmdia, but the anthers and stigmas are quite 

 different. 



4 m. cordifolla, Blume Bijdr. 939 ; Rumphin, i. t. 49 ; leaves mem- 

 branous cordate roundish acute not acuminate bullate, fruit elongate tapering to 

 both ends. Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 702 ; Kvurz in Joum. As. Soc, 1876, ii. 132 

 and 1877 ii. 95. ? M. heterophyUa, Kurz Andam. Rep. Append. A. 39. 



Andaman Islands, Knrz. — Distrib. Java. 



Leaves 2-3 by 2 in., shortly petiolate, slightly glaucous beneath. Calyx elongate, 

 constricted at the neck. Petals small. Anthers oblong muticous. Fruit 3 by 1 in. 

 — I have seen no authentic specimen of this either from the Andamans or from Java. 

 The specimen labelled by Kurz heterophylla in the herbarium has much larger and 

 markedly acuminate leaves. It is probably an entire-leaved form of M. paimata or 

 M. trilobata. 



Sdci. II. Blepbaranthes, W. fy A. Petals springing from the base of 

 the calyx-tube. Style trifld or styles 3 ; stigmas capitate. 



5. nx. trilobata, Roxh. Cor. PI. t. 297 ; Fl. Ind. iii. 133 ; leaves mem- 

 branous cordate 3-lobsd with a gland under each sinus, anthers muticous, fruit 

 oblong. Wall. Cat. 1234 ; Kurz in Joum. As. Soc. 1877, ii. 95. 



SiKKiM, Assam, Khasia Mts., Cachar, Chittagono. 



Glabrous. Branches terete, glabrous, sulcate. Leaves remote, broader than long, 

 '6-8 by 8-9 in., 3-5-lobed, cordate or hastate at the base; lobes oblong-obovate, acu- 

 minate, central one narrowed to the base. Glands 2, orbicular, flat, on the under sur- 

 face of the leaf near the base ; petiole i in., cylindrical, with a pair of glands at the 

 extreme apex. Peduncles axillary, 5-6 in., divided near the apex into a leafless, 

 many-flowered cyme, one branch of which is cirrose. Male flower : Calyx less than 

 '^ in., campanulate, 6-lobed, lobes oblong, obtuse. Petals oblong-obovate, springing 

 from the base of the calyx-tube. Stamens 5, united at the base, fllaments slender ; 

 anthers linear, obtuse. Glands of the disc S, Ugulate, incurved, opposite the sepals. 

 Sudimentary ovary minute. Female flower : Calyx and petals as in the male, but 

 larger. Glands of disc 5, ribbon-like, recurved. Maminodet 5, united at the base
