Uvaria.l floea indica. 103 



There has been a good deal of confusion with respect to this species, partly caused 

 by Wallich's having mistaken it for U. lutea, Eoxb. [Alpfwnsea luted), and partly 

 by Wight and Arnott having accidentally reversed the labels of this plant and XJ. 

 Heyneana, Wall. {Orophea Seyneand), after comparing their collection with the 

 Wallichiau Herbarium, or perhaps rather owing to the accidental shifting of the 

 labels of these two plants in Dr. Arnott'a herbarium.

Frutex scandens. Hamuli graciles, glabri, cortice nigricante rugoso; gemmae 

 tomentossE. Folia 4-6 poll, longa, l5-2^ lata, petiolo -j-poU., tenuia, retioulato-

Uvaria Hasseltii, Blume, Anon. 46. t. 21, is so closely allied to this, that we had 

 almost united them ; in that, however, the petioles are scarcely a line long, so that 

 for the present they must be kept distinct. U. Hasseltii is known in fruit only. 

 The carpels are three and shortly pedicellate.
