102 FLOEA INDICA. [Anonacets. 



corresponds very closely in foliage with specimens from the Philippines (Cuming, 

 No. 1607, 1729) ; but these again have the flowers of the Khasia plant, and many 

 oblong, glabrous, slightly granular carpels, nearly l-J inch long, on stalks the same 

 length, and with numerous flat round seeds in two rows. The buds of this and the 

 preceding species are remarkable for the strong union of the calyx-lobes, the lines of 

 separation of which are not distinguishable till they are about to dehisce.

This appears to be a widely-diffused plant in southern India, but it is possible that 

 more than one species are still confounded under it. Wight figures the seeds as form- 

 ing two rows ; but in all the specimens which we have seen, they occupy the whole 

 breadth of the seed, and are consequently in one row. These doubtful points can 

 only be settled by careful study of the plant in a living state. The amount of 

 variation in the shape of the petals appears considerable, and in several specimens 

 from Ceylon they are united beyond the middle, and are oecasionally increased in 

 number to seven or eight.
