76 On some new or imperfectly known Indian plants. [No. 2 



64. Rourea dasyphylla, M i q., Suppl. Fl. Suniatr. 528, is a syno- 

 nym of Cnestis platantha, G riff., Not. Dicot. 434, to which also 

 C. ignea and foliosa, Planch., belong. 



Cnestis flammea (errore typico flaminea) G r i f f, 1. c. 433, t. 608, 

 f. 2, appears to be the fruiting state of C. platantha. 



What is Cnestis ramiflora, Griff., 1. c. 432, from Mergui ? It 

 differs from the above in being a low shrub and in having the 

 leaflets alternate and acute. 



65. Connarus Diepenhorstii, Miq., Fl. Suniatr. 529, is identical 

 with Ttenioehlezna Diepenhorstii ; and Rourea acutipetala, Miq., 1. c. 

 528, is the same as Tceniochlcena acutipetala. Both species are very 

 different from T. Grijjithii. 



66. Troostwyckia singular is, Miq., Suppl. Fl. Surnatr., 531. As 

 a synonym of this I have to note Hemiandrina Bomeensis, H f, 

 in Linn. Trans. XXIII, 171, t. 28. Both are surely the same 

 plant, and not only nearly allied, as suggested by Prof. M i q u e 1 

 in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. Ill, 88. 



LYTHRARIEJE. 



67. Ammannia (Rotala) dentelloides, n. sp.—Rev- 



buhe habitu Detitellte repentis virides, prostratse, 2-4 poll, altse, 

 glabrae ; folia opposita, obovato-linearia v. linearia, basin versus 

 attenuata, breve petiolata, 3-4 lin. longa, obtusa ; flores solitarii, 

 sessiles ; calyx fructifer l£ lin. fere longus, viridis, 5-costatus, 

 5-fidus, laciniis lanceolatis acuminatis sparse ciliolatis ; petala 

 minuta, albida v. parum cyanescentia, eroso-ciliata ? capsula? 

 1 nclusa3. — Frequent in Northern Bengal, as in Purneah, Kissen- 

 gunge, Titalaya up to the Sikkim Terai, in dried up ponds and 

 ricefields, shortly after the rains ; also in Behar, and Arracan in 

 Kolodyne valley, Akyab, &c. 



In habit resembling A. pygmcsa, Kurz, which I found 

 abundantly all over Bengal from Calcutta up to the base of the 

 Himalaya, as also on the Eajmehal hills and in Pegu. The purple 

 very differently shaped calyx, and the usually reddish stems and 

 leaves of A. pygmcea readily distinguish this from A. dentelloides. 



BEGONIACEJE.
