In his Herbarium Wiglit has marked his n. 2709 one sheet V. WalUchii, the other 

 XI. macrolepis ; of this the seeds exhibit none of the glochidia shown in Wight'^s figure 

 of XT. macrolepis, and insisted on in the acoompanjing description.

BENaAL ? Edgeworth. Cetion ; Gardner. 



The plant here diagnosed is Gardner's n. 507, which is the type of 11. rosea, Oliver. 

 Whether any such plant was ever found in Bengal is doubtful, there being no- type of 

 Edgeworth's to refer to. Oliver quotes for this species U. racemosa, Wight Ic. t. 1584, 

 fig. 1, which looks more like U. racemosa,. WaW,, with the flower drawn a little large; 

 the seeds are like -none of this set, in all of which they are minute with large obscurely- 

 marked scrobiculations. According to Thwaites {^Ennm. 172), XT., rosea, raoemosa 

 &nd Jilicaulis are forms of one species.
