 cells 2-loceIIate; styles 3-4, filifonn,'free or coMate below, stigmas sub- 

 capitate ; ovules 1 in each locellus. GapMe globose,' splitting into 6-8 

 cocci. Seeds reniform.— Disteib. The following are the.only species.

Hilly parts of India, from the Pdnjab eastwards to Sikkim, ascending to 6000 ft. 

 Behab, Assam, and Chittaqonq, and southwards from the Bombay Ghats to the 



NlLQHIEI HILLS. . - 



A tufted glabrous undershrub, 2-3 ft. high, with erect and prostrate rooting terete 

 father stout soft branches. Leaves 1-3 in., narrowed into slender petioles, usually 

 rounded and mucronate at the tip, and then'qiiite entire, but sometimes acute or even 

 suddenly acuminate, and then minutely crenate-serrate. Flowers often 1 in. diam., but 

 variable iu number, size, length of pedicel, and of sepals, which are sometimes | in. 

 long. Capsule shorter than the sepals, the size of a small pea. — If, as is probable, this 

 and .the following species are varieties of one, Dumortier's name of .fi. indica should 

 be retained for both. 



2. XI. tetTSLSyna, Planch, in Hook Lcmd. Joum. Bot, \ii. 623 ; leaves 

 elliptic-lanceolate acuminate crenate-serrate, styles 3-4 united below.

 Wall. Gat. 1506 ; Benth. in Bot. Reg. under tab. 1326. L. Cicanobum, Don 

 Prodr. 217. ■ 



In the same regions as R. trigyna, but usually in damper localities. 



Easily distinguished from the common type of R. trigyna by the much larger lanceo- 

 late leaves, and more numerous styles, but variable in the former respect, and I suspect 

 that the two are varieties of one. — I have a note to the effect that 5 styles occur. 



3. ANISADENXA, Wall. 



Perennial herbs. Leaves alternate or somewhat whorled at the top of the 

 stem, coriaceous, serrate; stipules intrapetiolar, striate. Plmvers in ter- 

 minal spike-like racemes, white or pink ; bracts minute, coriaceous, concave, 

 grooved, caducous, pedicels at length reflexed. Sepals 5, lanceolate, cori- 

 aceous, strongly nerved, 3 outer with spreading gland- tipped bristles,; 

 2 inner glandular. Petals 5, contorted, fugacious. Stamens 5, hypogynous, 

 filaments connate below, alternating with interposed staminodes. Glands 

 usually 3, adnate to the staminal tube, one very large. Ovary 3-celled ; 

 styles 3, stigmas terminal ; ovules 2, collateral in each cell. Gapside oblong, 

 membranous, indehiscent? 1 -seeded. Seed oblong, testa adherent to the 

 thin albumen ; embryo straight, green, cotyledons plano-convex. — DistrTB. 

 The following are the only species.

 leaves 2-6-in. glabrous above sparingly pubescent or glabrous beneath.
