 leaves subsessile oblong elliptic or obovate, umbels simple peduncled, sepals 

 linear, corolla-lobes lanceolate, coronal processes gibbous. Iphisia Grovanii,

Bootstock slender, creeping. Stems 8-16 in., naked below. Leaves 1-lJ by ^ 

 ly in., rarely linear or almost orbicular, obtuse or apiculate. Xlmhels rarely sessile ,- 

 pedicels capillary ; flowers dark purple, J in. diam. Anthers large for the size of the 

 column ; pollen-masses pendulous. Stigma umbonate. 



2. T. Kelferi, Hook. f. ; softly pubescent, stem simple, leaves sessile 

 ovate or lanceolate acuminate, umbels simple lon|^-peduncled, sepals linear, 

 coroUa-lobes elongate-lanceolate, coronal processes gibbous. 



Tbnasserim; Heifer. 



Stem 8-12 in. Leaves lJ-2 by ^-1 in., pubescent on both surfaces, base rqunded. 

 Pedmnde strict, equalling the leaves; pedicels capillary. Corolla J in. diam., purple ?, 

 lobes caudate. Follicles IJ in., poniard-shaped, pubescent. — The position of the 

 pollen-masses I could not ascertain, owing to the imperfection of the specimens. 



3. T. fasciculata, Sam. in Wight Contrih. 50 ; Ic. t. 848 ; stem 

 simple or branched glabrous below finely puberulous above, leaves petioled 

 ovate or lanceolate acute glabrous, cymes peduncled umbelliform simple or 

 compoimd, sepals lanceolate, corolla-lobes broadly ovate, coronal processes 

 globose, follicles short turgid. Wall. Cat. 8204; Dene, in DC. Prodr. viii. 608;

 Law, Dalzell, &c. 



Stems several from the root, 12-18 in., flexuous or climbing amongst grass. 

 Leaves 1-2 by f-l^ in., coriaceous; petiole \-\ in. Peduncles slender; pedicels 

 capiUary. Corolla ^ in. diam., fleshy in the Nepal specimens. Pollen-Tnasses hori- 

 zontal according to Wight, but I think erect. Follicles 1^-2 by i-| in., ovoid-lanceo- 

 late ; pericarp very thick, glabrous. Seeds ^ in. long, broadly ovoid, quite flat. — 

 Wight correctly observes that the corpuscles in this and the following are almost 

 2-partite.

 leaves petioled ovate acute glabrous, cymes peduncled simple or subcompound,

This has the habit and foliage of T. fasciculata, but the flowers are twice as large, 



and the corolla-lobes ovate-lanceolate. The Pegu specimens seem identical with the 



Nilgherry ones. Fruit unknown.

 branched flexuous, leaves petioled ovate or lanceolate acuminate, cymes branched,
