 teoles 0-5, } in., linear; pedicels 8-16, ^f in. Frmt glabrous, broTrn, dorsal and

 ■rittse about half as long as the fruit subelavate below. 



Vab. elatior ; more hairy upwards, bracts 4-6, rays 20-30 hairy.— Nipal. — 

 This may be a different^ species but contains only very immature fruit. The upper 

 leaves are lobed, not divided, more hairy than in the type, and the braoteoles are: 

 much more prominent. Bentham {Gen. PL i. 922) referred H. dimrsifoUwm to 

 Peucedammi : but is not now certain to which of the many plants mixed under the- 

 name H. diversifoHum he referred, ff. WalUohii is a typical Heracletim, with the 

 vittae hardly haU as long as the mericarp. 



6. K. nublg^enum, C. B. Clarke ; upper leaves 3-partite or pinnata 

 glabrescent, bracts several deciduous, calyx obsolete, fruit 5 in. orbicular 

 einarginate at both ends, commissure subevittate.

Stem 3-5 ft., pubescent. Tertiary pinnse 1-3 in., ovate, serrate, often lobed, 

 slightly pubescent Bracts 4-12, ^ in., linear; rays 30-60, 2-6 in., pubescent; 

 braeteoles 4-10, i in., linear; pedicels 15-30, ^f in. Fruit glabrous, brown J dor- 

 sal and intermediate ridges obtuse, little excurrent, much broader than the vittae ; 

 wing broad interrupted at the apex and base ; vittse nearly as long as the fruit,, 

 commissural usually 0, or 1-2 very short near the apex, sometimes fragments of an 

 interrupted vitta are seen. — The fruit of this plant is much like that of Cortia 

 Sookeri.
