Limnanthemum Gmel. 
|. L. indieum (L.) Griseb., Genera et Species Gentianearum 1839; 
Hook. f., Fl. of British India IV, p. 131. 
var. siamensis Ostf., nov. var. 
Leaves smaller, 2—5 cm.long, broadly obovate, deeply cordate 
with obtuse lobes and a triangular sinus, rather thin; flowers few 
(2—3) in the umbel; pedicels 3—4 cm. long; bracts ovate, obtuse, 
about 5mm. long; lobes of the corolla 5, oblong, 10—15 mm. long, 
covered in the margins and above with numerous long cottony 
papillose hairs, white with a yellow base; capsule ?, seeds?. 
According to the above description it will be easy to see that this 
little pretty Limnanthemum differs in some important points from the or 
dinary L. indicum; but having only few flowers and no fruit at my dis- 
posal I prefer to regard it as a variety of L. indicwm hoping that future 
investigations will settle this point.
