174 Notes on Indian Botany. 



Khasya, Griffith. 



This is very nearly allied to the following, from the same country, 

 the difference being confined to the stamens ; in this the filaments are 

 as long as the anthers, and both hairy — in that the filaments are short, 

 covered with matted hair, and the anthers glabrous or nearly so. 



Vaccinium (A.) Donnianum, (R. W.) ramuli virgate terete gla- 

 brous ; leaves short petioled, obovato-lanceolate acuminate coriaceous, 

 crenato-serrated : racemes axillary coriaceous, about the length of 

 the leaves, many flowered : flowers drooping : corolla glabrous, 

 villous within : filaments short, thickly covered with coarse matted 

 hair : anthers glabrous : bristles short, tubes thick : style exceeding 

 the stamens, stigma dilated. — R. W. Icon. 1191. 



Khasya, Griffith. 



This species is nearly allied to both the preceding and following, 

 but I think differs specifically from both. 



Vaccinium (A.) Griffithianum, (R. W.) shrubby, ramous : 

 branches terete, glabrous, except the pilose extreme ramuli : leaves 

 elliptic, pointed at both ends, finely serrated, coriaceous, glabrous : 

 racemes axillary foliaceous, many flowered : flowers short pedicelled, 

 ovate, drooping, each furnished with a leaf like bractea and two brac- 

 tioles : calyx lobes ovate serrated : corolla ovate, filaments hairy, 

 about the length of the anthers : anthers bristled, ending in thick 

 tubes.— R. W. Icon. 1192. 



This seems much allied to V. Leschenaultii, but is, I think, quite 

 distinct. 



Vaccinium (A.) obovatum, (R. W.) shrubby procumbent dif- 

 fuse glabrous : ramuli slender, very leafy : leaves short petioled, 

 obovate-cuneate, entire, subrevolate on the margin : flowers axillary 

 solitary drooping, pedicels about the length of the leaves ; calyx and 

 corolla glabrous, stamens exserted, filaments very short, anther cells 

 united at the base forming a spur, bristled : tubes about twice the 

 length of the anther cells : berry globose, about the size of a small 

 pea.— R. W. Icon. 1193. 



Cheera Punjee, Griffith. 



In habit this seems to approach Arc. uva-ursi, but otherwise, is a 

 true Vaccinium, and certainly cannot be mistaken for any other I 

 have seen.
