170 Notes on Indian Botany. 



with longish hairs : pedicels dilated, cup- shaped at the apex : anthers 

 rough, without bristles, ending in two long tubes, cohering nearly 

 half their length : stigma dilated. — R. W. Icon. 1180. 



Sylhet ? I am indebted to Dr. Wallich for the specimen from 

 which this drawing was made, but without station or name, I have 

 therefore dedicated it to him. The leaves are from 2 to 3 inches 

 long, and about 1 broad, the flowers dark-pink, about an inch. In 

 some points it seems to correspond with Roxburgh's Ceratostema 

 variegata, but judging from Royle's figures of that species, is certain- 

 ly distinct, if his is the true plant. 



Vaccinium (A.) verticillatum, (R. W. Agapetes verticellata, 

 Don. Thibaudia setigera ? Griffith MSS.) Stems shrubby : leaves 

 verticillate, lanceolate, acuminate, minutely denticulate, acute at the 

 base : flowers racemoso-corymbose : peduncles and calyx hispid, 

 corolla glabrous, ' corolla about an inch long, 5-lobed, lobes short : 

 filaments slightly cohering: anthers bifid: stigma simplish (sub- sim- 

 plex.)'— D. C. Prod. 7,554, R. W. Icon. 1181. 



Pundua Mountains, Wallich ; Khasya, Griffith. I am indebted to 

 Mr. Griffith for my specimens. 



It is with considerable diffidence I have adopted the present in 

 preference to Mr. Griffith's name, as the two species seem very 

 nearly allied, if actually distinct. V. (A.J setigerum is said to have 

 the leaves elliptic-lanceolate attenuated, obtuse at the base, but in 

 verticillatam, acute at the base ; that added to verticillation is the 

 principal character, and they associate in the specimen before me. 

 There is another point in which the specimen agrees with the latter, 

 the filaments in it are glabrous while in setigerum, they are said to 

 be bearded. 



The magnified corolla is represented much too hairy, an error en- 

 tirely owing to the imperfection of our lithography, for in the origi- 

 nal drawing it is shown scarcely even pubescent : some of the young 

 unexpanded flowers have a few scattered hairs near the point the ex- 

 panded ones, unless v/hen seen under a considerable magnifier, ap- 

 pear quite glabrous. 



Vaccinium (A.) hirsutum, (R. W.) leaves elliptic-lanceolate, 

 entire, glabrous or sub-pubescent, recemes erect, corymbose, many 

 flowered : flowers tubular, long pedicelled : pedicels shorter than the
