Generally resembling Z/. stellaris, but rather larger in all its parts. Corolla 

 j-i in. diam. Calyx-segments in fruit ovate, subacute, patent, bardly so long as the 

 capsule. Seeds as of U. stellaris, but rather larger ; margin thin, incurved towards 

 the concave face, described by some authors as winged, by others as wingless. — The 

 branches near the base of the peduncle are sometimes inflated, falsely whorled, bearing 

 reduced leaves, but are always much longer and less bract-like than those of U. 

 stellaris. 



8. TJ. punctata, Wall. Cat. 2121 ; pedicels slender erect in fruit, 

 flowers blue, capsule thin much longer than the calyx, seeds discoid margin 

 thin sharply toothed. A, DC. Prodr. viii. 6 ; Wight Ic. t. 1570; Oliver in
