308. — V. aspera. — The plant I thus name and which I have also 

 found in the Sewaliks and on Parasnath agrees exactly with Rox- 

 burgh's description of a few large terminal capituli ; they cannot be 

 called as in D. C. " Paniculse subcorymbosse." 



311. — Adenostemma angustifolia — foliis lineari-lancelotis utrin- 

 que acuminatis longe petiolatis serrulatis corymbysi oligo-cephalis, 

 acheniis levibus glandulis pedicellatis coronatis. 



My specimens were gathered very late in the season. I could find 

 but a single flower and therefore cannot now give a more detailed 

 description. 



It may be a narrow-leaved and few-flowered variety of A. leiocarpum 

 with which I am not acquainted. 



312. — Erigeron asteroides — I should have no doubt about this 

 species had Roxb. not omitted all mention of the tubular $ florets. It 

 is most probably the same as E. sublyratum D. C. but the involucre is 

 glandular not sub-glabrous. 



317. — Blumea amplectens — I am not sure of the identity of this, 

 D. C. describes it "fl. masc. circiter 15-20" — in my plant there are 

 at least 30 — he also calls it sub-glabrate whereas this even in the 

 oldest plants is villous. Further no mention is made of the peculiar 

 character of the pappus — which is in the disk 15-bristled, in the ray 

 5-bristled, and the radical achenia 5-ribbed — should it be a new species 

 I would propose the name undulata. 



319. — B. bovina (oxyodonta B. D. C.) I refer this plant to this 

 name with some hesitation. I know several forms which to me appear 

 distinct species which can only be referred to oxyodonta. In this the 

 mouths of the florets are ciliate ; and I have in vain searched for 

 anthers : hundreds of capituli I have examined and found none. I 

 have observed the same in a small procumbens oxyodonta common at 

 Saharunpoor. 



321. — B. fontinalis — Caulibus erectis strictis pubescentibus, 

 foliis obovatis grosse dentatis dentibus calloso mucronatis in peti- 

 olum attenuatis utrinque pubescentibus, paniculis confertifloris, ramulis 

 3 floris, inferioribus axillaribus folio brevioribus, superioribus thyrsoi- 

 deis sub-aphyllis, capitulis ovatis nutantibus, involucri squamis exteri- 

 oribus lanceolatis hirsutis ciliatisque, interioribus subscariosis linearibus 

 acutis discum superantibus, floribus radii oo ; disci paucis 5-meris apice
