1. H. indica A. DC, Monogr. Phanerog., vol. I, Smilaceae, p. 43; 

 Hook, f., Fl. Brit. India, VI, p. 314. 



Dr. Schmidt has brought home a specimen of a plant which un- 

 doubtfully must be taken as a Heterosmilax-, unfortunately the specimen 

 has no flowers nor fruits, but the leaves and the umbel-peduncles with 

 their receptacles and bracteoles agree well with specimens of H. indica 

 in the Copenhagen-Museum, collected by the late Dr. Voigt in „India 

 orientalis u (o: Serampore or Calcutta). The leaves of Dr. Schmidt's plant 

 are 9 — 17 cm. long, 4—8 cm. broad, ovate-oblong, acuminate-cuspidate 

 from the rounded-obtuse or subcordate base; the sheathing part of the 

 petiole is very short and narrow. 



Koh Kahdat, jungle, a liane (No. 553).
