74 xcv. ASCLEPiADBiE. (J. D. Hooker.) IGeropegia.. 



lanceolate base, coronal lobes 5 linear forked at the tip villous half as long: as 

 the slender linear straight processes. 



NiLGHEKET Mts. ; at Sispara Ghat, Wight, &e. 



Soot tuberous. Stem rather stout. Leaves 4-7 by J-1^ in., membranous, base- 

 acute, margins obscurely ciliolate; petiole ^-5 in. Peduncle slender, 1-5 in. ; pedi- 

 cels 1-3 in. Sepals ^-| in., sometimes pubernlous. Corolla large, pale, spotted -with 

 pale purple, inflated base sometimes f in. diam., lobes sometimes longer than the 

 tube, tips slightly dilated. Coronal lobes rigid, yellow with purple tips. 



29. C. brevlcoUis, Soak. f. ; leaves ovate or lanceolate acuminate 

 pubernlous on both surfaces, peduncle sparsely hairy 3-6-fld., sepals filiform, 

 corolla 2 in. long curved, base very broadly inflated, tube with a very short neck 

 and broad funnel-shaped limb, lobes erect linear from an ovate-lanceolate base, 

 tips incurved, coronal lobes obsolete, processes linear erect. 



Teavancoee; Anamallay hills, alt. 2500 ft., Beddome. 



Stem slender, glabrous. Leaves very variable, 2J-6 by 1^2 in., membranous,, 

 sometimes linear-oblong; petiole |-1^ in. Peduncles slender, 1—2 in., glabrous or 

 sparsely hairy ; pedicels slender, J-1^ in. Sepals \. Corolla-base obliquely inflated, 

 (filating again shortly above the inflation into a broad funnel ; lobes longer than the 

 tube, linear for half their length. 



30. C StoclEsil, Soak. f. ; leaves ovate or ovate-cordate acuminate 

 pubernlous on both surfaces, peduncles 3-oo -fld. hispid, sepals filiform ; corolla 

 2J-3 in. straight base slightly inflated, lobes erect linear from a small base,, 

 tips incurved, coronal lobes 5 short broad ciliate, processes linear straight. 



The CoNOAN, Stocks. 



An extensive climber. Leaves 2-5 by \-2 in., membranous; petiole |-1 in. 

 Peduncle stout, 1-1^ in. ; pedicels very short, hispid. Sepals |-^ in. Corolla large. 

 — This closely resembles C. oculata, diflfering in the long linear corolla-lobes. It may 

 be a form of that plant; if so, the corolla affords a most treacherous character. 



j3. Cwolla-tuhe narrow, mbcylindric above. 



31. C. macrantliai Wight Contrib. 31 ; nearly glabrous, leaves short- 

 petioled elliptic-lanceolate acuminate, peduncles short pubescent many-fid., 

 sepals filiform, coroUa curved tube narrow base swollen, lobes slender erect 

 linear glabrous cohering from above the middle, coronal lobes ovate-lanceo- 

 late villous, processes straight linear. Dene, in DC. R-odr. viii. 642.

 petioled narrowly lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate acuminate, peduncles short
