FLORA INDICA. 



{Menupermaceee. 



which the male flower only is known, with two sepals, two petals, and four stamens, 

 is a doubtful Menispermaceous plant ; a specimen without flowers, which we have 

 examined in the Benthamiau Herbarium, having quite as much the appearance of 

 Euphorhiacece. Several new species of Menispermacece^ in addition to those described 

 for the first time in the following pages, exist in our own collections, but in a state 

 too imperfect to enable us to characterize them, some being without flowers, and 

 others consisting of flowering panicles of one sex without leaves.
