2. Zi. affinis, Wall. Cat 1311 ; prostrate, often rooting, leaves petioled 

 ovate minutely pilose on the nerves beneath, pedicels mostly longer than the 

 leaves, calyx-teeth' pilose. A. DC. Prodi: vii. 360 ; Ilook.f. Sf T. inJourn. Limn.

From SiKKiM, Bengai. and Assam to Malacca and Cuvlon; alt. 0-4000 ft., 

 common. — Dxsth:b. Malaya, S. China. 



Stems 6-24 in., much branched, pubescent or glabrate, more or less 3-angled. 

 Leaves J-f in. diam., deuticiUate. Corolla ^^ in. Capsule ^-J by ^-i in., not 

 tapering to the pedicel. Seeds ellipsoid, narrowed at both ends, distinctly trigonous. 

 — The Ceylon examples are L. hirta, Wight mss., and agree closely with the Javan ; 

 they are mixed by collectors with L. zeylanica, var. WalJari, which they somewhat 

 resemble ; but the leaves are distinctly pubescent and seeds diflferent. 



Vak. Loibiana (sp.), H. f. & T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 28 ; leaves 2 in., corolla 

 ■5 in. — Khasia Mts., Lobb. The fragment on which this species is founded has the 

 leaf hardly longer than in some examples of L. affinis, but the corolla is much larger, 

 and may indicate a distinct spe;ics. 



3. Xi. terminalis, Clarice; pubescent, ascending, leaves short-petioled 

 ovate upper narrower sharply toothed almost bracteiform, pedicels very long 

 slender. 



North Bengal ; near the foot of the hills ; Bhyadanga in Mymensingh, 

 Clarke. 



A slender, sxibereet, annual, 6-10 in., branching, not rooting. Leaves J-| in. diam., 

 denticulate ; upper oblong, incised. Pidicds, mostly from the upper axils, 3-5 times 

 as long as the bractiform leaves, so that the inflorescence appears as a lax terminal 

 corymb. Corolla ^ in. Capsule ^ by ^ in., not tapering to the pedicel. Seeds sub-- 

 spherical, distinctly trigonous. 



Vak. mimda ; 1-2 in. high, leaves and flowers smaller. — Siktim Terai ; Phansi- 

 dowa, Clarke. Both L. icrminalis and its var. miiiuta have probably been passed 

 by collectors for Cephalostigma, which they simulate closely.

 leaves few small oblong sessile, pedicels longer than the leaves. Kurz in Journ.

Stems annual, 3-12 in., weak, thickened below, divided upwards, sparingly leafy 

 or nearly naked. Leaves ^ by J in., entire or sparingly toothed. Corolla J-^ in. 

 Capsule ^-Jiu., nearly orbicular. Seeds ellipsoid, distinctly trigonous. — Kurz's notes 

 on this plant are misleading. He assumes from its locality that it must have been 

 Griffith's n. 429 (Notul. iv. 281), and hence tries to make his diagnosis square with 

 GrifSth's description which refers to Z. trigona, Eoxb. 



5. Ii. mlcrocarpa, Clarhe ; glabrous, erect, leaves elliptic-oblong sub- 

 orbicular sessile lower ovate upper linear, pedicels longer than the leaves, 

 capsule small, calyx-teeth filiform.

Annual, 3-5 in. high, branching. Lower leaves |-^ in. diam., crenate-dentate ; 

 upper leaves 1 in., linear, bracteiform. Pedicels \-\ in. CoraZZa less than ^ in. Cap- 

 siile Jj in., subspherieal. Seeds subspherical, distinctly trigonous. — Near L. chinensis. 

 Lour., which has a longer capsule with broader calj'x-teeth, and the upper leaves much 

 less reduced.
