Milium.] FLORA iNbicA. 149 



ovalia, supcme lucida, glabra ; juniora supra pilis paucia sparsis stellatis munita, secus 

 costam pubescentia, subtus pubescentia, secus costam fere tomentosaj 2-24 poU- 

 longa, |-1-| lata, petiolo vix lineam longo. Mores f poll, longi. Petala exteriora 

 sepalis sequilonga, duplo latiora ; interiora OTata, nervosa, pubescentia. Torus dense 

 strigosus. Ovaria dense albo-pilosa, liueari-oblonga, plerumque biovulata. Stig- 

 mata oblonga. Carpella numerosa, fere sessaia, subglobosa, pisi magnitudine, apicu- 

 lata, dense cinereo-tomentosa. 



Perhaps there is a glabrous-fruited species undistinguishable in leaves from this, 

 but it is more probable that aU the glabrous and sessUe-fruited forms are referable to 

 M. montana.

 tibus, foliis oblongo-lanceolatis subtus adpresse puberulis, pedunculis 

 abbreviatis, floribus hermapbroditis, sepalis petalisque ext. pubescenti- 

 bus, petalis interioribus lineari-oblongis.

Arbor parva. Hamuli fusco-grisei, rugosi, tuberculati, juniores cum omnibus par- 

 tibus noveUis fusco-tomentosi. JFolia coriacea, rigida, opaca, obtusa acuta vel acu- 

 minata, basi rotundata, et ssepe obliqua, 2-4 poll, longa, l-l| lata, petiolo bilineari, 

 plus vel minus tomeutoso, demum utrinque glabrata. Pedunculi floribus dimidio 

 breviores, tomentosi, basi pluribracteati. Sepala et petala exteriora fere asqualia, 

 oblonga, vix acuta, pilosa, moUiter ciliata. Petala interiora quam in ceteris spe-

 pilis rigidis strigosa, late ovalia, stigmate ovali terminata. Ovula plerumque 2. 

 Fructus ignotus. 



4. IVI. Wightiana (H.f. et T.) ; ramulis glabriusculis, foliis an- 

 guste oblongo-lanceolatis vel lineari-oblongis obtuse acuminatis basi 

 acutis utrinque glabris, pedunculis floribus duplo longioribus gracili- 

 bus, floribus polygamo-dioicis ?, carpellis globosis granulatis glabris 

 pedicello sequilongo sulfiiltis.

Arbor parva. Hamuli cinerei, rugulosi, glabri, tuberculis crebris pustulati. Folia 

 teuuiter coriacea, lucida, 3-4 poll, louga, J-1 lata, petiolo brevissimo glabro. Pe- 

 dunculi f— 1 poll, longi, vix puberuli, basi squamis paucis remotiusculis muuiti. 

 Mores magnitudine eonim M. montarue. Sepala et petala exteriora minuta, re- 

 flexa. Petala interiora oblonga, extas puberula. Torus glabcr. Stamina (in flore 

 uuo) uniserialia, longiora et majora quam in cseteris speciebus. Ovaria numerosa, 

 glabra, ovali-oblonga, ovulo 1, sutura; ventrali inserto. Stylus oblongus. 



Of this very distinct species there are several specimens in Dr. Wight's herbarium, 

 but only one or two flovi'ers. It is intermediate in many respects between the original 

 species of Miliusa and Syalosteinma.

 acuminatis glabris lucidis, pedunculis elongatis bracteis pluribus lineari- 

 subulatis sparsis munitis, floribus polygamo-dioicis, sepalis petalisque 

 exterioribus subsequalibus longe linearibus pubescentibus, toro fructifero 

 apice tantum carpella gerente breviter strigoso, carpellis numerosis 

 transverse ovalibus, seminibus 1-3.
