1870. J On some new or imperfectly known Indian plants. 77 



oligocarpa, D C, Prod. XV/1, 276, are one and the same plant ; and, 

 therefore, the name Beg. Roxhurghii, D C, 1. c, 398, may be the 

 most appropriate one for it. 



FIGOIBEM. 



69. Tryphera prostrata, B 1., Bydr., 549 ; D C. Prod. XIII-2, 424, 

 is Mollugo Gtinus, A.Rich., Fl. Abyss. I, 48. 



ARABIA OEM. 



70. Brassaiopsis palmata, (Panax palmatum, Roxb., Fl. Ind., II, 

 74). This species is identified by Dr. S e e m a n n with B. Mainla, 

 but this latter has quite different leaves and the younger parts &c. 

 whitish-tomentose, while in B. palmata they are all of a rusty 

 colour. The albumen is decidedly even and not ruminate. The 

 fruits usually contain only a single, seldom 2 pergamaceous pyrenes. 



CAPRIFOLIA CEJS. 



71. Lonicera (Lycesteria) gracilis, n. sp. Glaberrima, 



subscandens, ramis gracilibus, teretibus ; folia ovato-lanceolata v. 

 oblongo-lanceolata, circ. 3-4 poll, longa, acuminatissima, membra- 

 nacea, remote denticulata v. subintegerrima, subtus glauca ; spicse 

 breves, axillares, solitarise, gracillimse ; flores distichi, virescente 

 albidi, sessiles, in axillis bracteolarum solitarii ; bracteolee 

 oblongo-lanceolatse, acuminatae, glaberrima3, ovario multo breviores ; 

 corolla 6-7 lin. longa, infundibuliformis ; baccse glabrae, longitudi- 

 naliter sulcato-striatae. — Sikkim Himalaya, in the sub-tropical 

 forests of the Bunno valley towards the Phalloot, not uncommon. 

 I thought at first, I might compare this species with L. glaucophglla, 

 H f. and T h., but judging from the description only it differs 

 in every respect. It is a Zegcesterm, a genus which, however, 

 does not seem to me to differ from Lonicera. 



CAMPANULACEM. 



72. Lobelia dopatrioides, n. sp. Herba erecta, glaber- 

 rima, simplex v. parce ramosa, £ ped. alta, caulibus succulentis 

 obsolete angulatis ; folia inferiora, saepius suborbicularia v. oblongo 

 obtusa et minora, superiora lanceolata v. rari p s oblongo-lanceoluta,
