reticularly joined. Stipules semi-lanceolar, fugacious. Panicles small 
or even diminutive, axillary and terminal, formed by cymous clusters 
of flowers, beset with short scattered hairlets. Bracts very smal, valy- 
ine from almost lanceolar to nearly deltoid. Calyx about + inch — 
Petals somewhat shorter than the calyx, membranous, pale-yellowi

glabrous ; valves of the exocarp somewhat bifid from the summlt; — 
endocarp of each fruitlet after secession divaricately spreading. 
about 14 inch measurement; testule greyish-brown, without lustre, 
irregularly reticulate-regular. Embryo almost amygdaline. Colubrina 
Travancorica, doubdtfully admitted by Beddome into that genus, has 
some resemblance to our new species, but the leaves are almost 
opposite, bear some indument and are distinetly serrulated ; and asthe 
mature fruit remains unknown, the generic position continues also 
dubious.—F. v. IL, le. :

ZORNIA, Gmel. p 
Z. diphylla, Pers., var. filifolia, n.f. An erect or procumbent 
annual plant, the stems and branches very slender and densely studded 
with prominent brown oval glands. Leaflets about 1 in. long, = Uae 
broad, with the glands of the stem. Bracts and flowers smaller that 
in other forms, but very glandular. 
: of specimens were two other forms of this widespread 
variable plant, the one being referable to the var. gracilis, Benth., the other only | 
differing from the normal in that the whole plant, like var. filifolia, was t ickly 
studded with dark-coloured glands. See
