This beautiful species was found before by Akkul Mo- 

 hummad at Jumalpore, it was named without examinatiou 

 by Wallich, V. pulcherrima, Wall et GrilF. I now change the 

 name to Villarsia eglandulosa. Iconog 5. 



Villarsia eglandulosa, foliis orbicularibus, basi profunde 

 cordatis, margine repandis. Corollis 5. 8. partit. laciniis 

 barbatis : Staminibus excertis, glandulis epipetalis nullis j 

 venation of the corola as in V. cristata. 



After all I believe it is nothing more than V. indica, cestiv- 

 ation of the genus — inflexo valvata. In V. cristata, the margi- 

 nal ciliae being inflected.
