plants. According to him (in 'Thwaites lEimm. 234) the plant is not fragrant in 

 Ceylon ; but this may apply to Var. vestita. 



Vae. liEvis J glabrous or grey puberulnus, pedicels often 2 in each axil much 

 thickened upwards in frnit, corolla not fragrant, tube often greenish, capsules grey 

 pnberulous. T. Isevis, Nees in Wgll. PI. As. Uar.iu. 77, and in DC. Prodr. xi. 56.

Vab. vestita, Nees in Wall. PI. As. Ear. iii. 78, and in DC. Prodr. xi. 57 ; stem 

 and leaves more hairy, capsule pubescent. — S. Deccan Peninsula and Ceylon. 



Vab. heterophylla ; leaves subentire lower suborbicular upper narrow-elliptic 

 acute uppermost lanceolate sometimes almost linear. T. heterophylla, Wall. Cat. 

 771. — Prome Hills and Ava ; Wallich. — Possibly a distinct species, but the material 

 is fragmentary ; the calyx is 12-toothed, and the pedicel solitary axillary, so that it is 

 hence near T, fragrans. 



2. T. tomentosa, Wall. ; Nees in Wall. PI. As. Bar. iii. 78, and in 

 DC. Prodr. xi. 58; leaves ovate or oblong acute, calyx- teett in flower 

 filiform mucli longer than the tube hairy, capsule villous. T. Anders, in 

 Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 449. T. fragrans, Wall. Cat. 767, partly.

 Closely allied to T. fragrans, differing by the filiform calyx-teeth and large villous 

 capsule. The thickening of the peduncles upwards in fruit, insisted on by T. Anderson, 

 is more prominent in T, fragrans var. lavis.

Closely allied to T. fragrans, and often confounded with it. It is certainlj 

 African, and only introduced in India.
