G8 FLORA INDICA. [BiUerdacecB. 



iipiuem profundius sinuata. PetioU non diktati, superne canalicalati, 2-3-pollicares. 

 Sacemi 6-poUicares ; pedicelli superae clavati, glabri, pollicares.- Sepala ovalia, 

 cxtus adpresse sericea. Fflnhi. li-polliearia, obovata. Ooaria 5. 



Ill this species, as in M'. Mada-gascariensis and (data, the lateral foliaccous pro- 

 cesses on the petioles break oif spontaneonsly, leaving a circular sear on the stern. 

 On the petioles of the youngest leaves they are occasionally somewhat persistent, 

 and at the apex of the branch there is a sbeathiirj; bract, (cvijently a dilated petiole, 

 as it occasionally has the lamina developed,) in vvhicli the terminal bud is enclosed. 



4.- W. pulchella (Jack, Mai Misc. et in Hook. Comp. Bot. Mag. 

 i. 221) ; foliis obovatis obtuse mucronatis iutegerrimis, petiolis non 

 marginatis, pedunculis unifloris.

Arbor humilis. Folia 4-5-pollicaria, petiolo fere pollicari, glabra, coriacea. Te- 

 duiiculi oppositifolii, 14-2-pollicares, ebracteati. Sepala late ovalia, glabra, polU- 

 caria. FollicuJi 5. iSeir/uia pauca, arillo rubro pulposo. 



Griffith's specimens are very iraperfect, but correspond in everything with Jack's 

 description. They are not in fruit ; we have therefore taken the character of the 

 seeds from the Comp. Bot. ^iag. Jack describes the peduncles as axillary, but in 

 Griffith's specimens they are evidently leaf-opposed, and only appear axillary in 

 consequence of several leaves glowing close together towards the cxtiemity of the 

 branchlet.

 — JTlyU! (v.s.) 



Arbor, cortice einereo rugoso, ramulis partibusque novellis sericeis. Folia ad 

 apices ramorum conferta, 3-6 poll, longa, 1-^-3 lata, nervis obliquis crebris parallelis, 

 superne lucida glabra, subtus pallida, adpresse pubcseentia, demum fere glabra. Sa- 

 cemi oppositifolii; braciets obovato-spathulatie. Sepala ovalia, dorso sericea. Fe- 

 tala obovata, l^j- poll, longa. Ocaria 5. FoUiculi totidem, luembranacei. Seniiiia 

 obovata, arillo parvo carnoso. 



This appears a very distinct species. Probably Roxburgh's Dilk'nia repanda 

 is the same, but his description is so imperfect that the point cannot be deter- 

 mined with certainty without the inspection of specimens. The locality assigned 

 by lioxburgh to his plant is Hindostan, — that is to say, probably the mountains of 

 Behar, the vegetation of which is analogous to that of the hilly country of Maisor and 

 the Bekhan.
