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



I do not venture to separate this variety from Dalzell's A. 

 ochraceum specifically, for there are no other differences except the 

 pubescence of the sepals and pedicels. Some doubt may be raised 

 against the identity of an Arracan with a Concan species, as the 

 plant has not yet been found in intermediate stations, but I met 

 with several other Concan plants in Arracan, amongst them also 

 Smithia diclwtoma, D al z.

90. Leptocliloa urceolata, R. B r. — A synonym of this species is 

 JVastus humilis, Hass k., known only by name. Dr. Hasskarl 

 had only sterile plants before him, when he proposed the name, and 

 probably misled by the native name, Tjangkorreh diook, (Linoch- 

 loa Tjangkorreh being called Tjangkorreh gede by the Javanese) 

 brought his plant in connection with bamboos. I have seen the 

 authentic growing specimens in the Botanic Gardens, Buitenzorg. 



91. Bamhusa auriculata, Kur z,* in Cat. Bot. Gar. Calc. 79. — 

 This species has been identified by Col. Muiiro with the common 

 and well-known B. vulgaris, Wend 1., (B. T/iouarsii, K t h.). I do 

 not know what may have been sent from the Botanic Gardens, Cal- 

 cutta, under that name, but I feel certain that my plant has no- 

 thing to do with that bamboo, except that both belong to the sec- 

 tion Iscliurocldoa. I add here the diagnose from my manuscript 

 on Indian Bambusace^. 



B. auriculata ; Arborea ; turionum vaginae virides, lateribus 

 adpresse atrofusco-setosse, ore minute auriculato kevissinise et 

 politse ; folia mediocriter petiolata, subtus scabrescentia ; vagiua3 

 plus minusve sericantes, ore auriculo nudo polito intense viridi 

 terminate, flores etc. incognita. Burma, Assam, etc. 



92. Bamhusa Rumpliiana (LeJeha Rumpliiana, Kurz, in Cat. 

 Bogor. 1866, 20, B.lineata, Munro; B. Amahussana, Ldl., B. 

 a^Ldl.; B.picta, Ldl.; B. hrava, Ldl.). Fruticosa, culm is 

 simpliciter ramosis ; turionum vaginae patenter setosse, ore auri- 

 culato rigide firabriatae ; folia vulgo largissima, spurie semiam- 



* The following remarks on Indian Bambusacece are for the present restricted 

 to a few species only, particularly those in connection with which my name 

 has been mentioned by Col. Munro in his Monograph of that tribe of
