174 Catalogue of plants found in the Banda district. [No. 2. 



hand incrassatis, antheris tenuiter et distincte subcaudatis, pappo albo 

 scabrello pauciseto. Fructum maturum non vidi. 



I found this at the spring-heads on the banks of the Cane (Ken) but 

 it dried up before coming to perfection. It may be considered a 

 variety of B. lacera, but differs much in appearance, the leaves 

 being of a dark gloomy green and the stems and involucre pur- 

 purescent. 



323. — Pulicaria foliolosa — My plant, which is not uncommon 

 on the banks of Ken, differs from description in D. C. V. p. 480 in 

 being of a bright light green and not cinereous — and to the description 

 might be added "acheniis villosis apice glanduloso teritibus." 



324. — Pulicaria saxicola decumbens, ramis divaricatis incanis- 

 ve, demum glabratis foliosis apice 1-cephalis, foliis omnibus sepilibus 

 angustis oblongis ramo sub-adpressis integris vel remote denticulatis 

 obtusis apice calloso-mucronulatis utrinque plus minus sericeo-pubescen- 

 tibus involucri squamis exterioribus arachnoideo-lanosis oblongis latius- 

 culis apice subiter attenuato liberis, junioribus foliaceis demum sphace- 

 latis infimis infra glabriusculis, sursum pilosis subiter cuspidatis, fl. 

 radii ligula 3 nervea, styli ramis longis apice acumine appendiculatis 

 fl. disci 6-meris margine incrassatis, antherarum caudis latiusculis basi 

 sub-laceris, styli ramis brevibus lanceolatis post anthesin caducis, pappo 

 exteriori coroniformi lacero vel ciliato-dentato, inferiore 10-setoso setis 

 apice barbellatis sub-plumosis, achenio sub-tereti compressiusculo 

 lineis 5 pilosis instructo, receptaculo alveolato parce piloso. 



Grows on the rocks or gravelly debris of the granite hills ; as at 

 Sehonda, Kartal. The solitary long peduncled heads, sessile not stem- 

 clasping leaves, and the pappus distinguish it readily from all the 

 species in D. C. 



384. — Gymnema melicida. The only decided character by which 

 I can distinguish this from O. sylvestris is that the squamulse of the 

 corolla are acute and cover the gynostegium, not obtuse and shorter as 

 described by Duaisne. The leaves are more lanceolate and more 

 sharply pointed than in the specimens of sylvestris that I have. 



I have given the name from the peculiar quality of the leaves. A 

 leaf chewed in the mouth deprives it of all power of tasting any thing 

 sweet for many hours afterwards. 



397. — I should have named this E. sulcatum, but that the pores of
