The terete branch is 1 line in diameter, with axils 3 inches 
apart; the leaves are 3^-4 inches long, 1^-1 ^ inch broad, on a 
petiole 4-5 lines long ; the raceme is 1 inch long, with approxi- 
mate alternate pedicels 1^ line long, each with a minute bract 
at base, which sometimes is lengthened and linearly lanceolate, 
3 lines long and ^ line broad ; flowers about | line long, with 
nine sepals in three series, the three inner ones cuneately oval, 
more than twice the length of the others, subpuberulous out- 
side, with ciliated margins; six cuneately oblong petals, two- 
thirds the length of the sepals, glabrous and submembranaceous ; 
three stamens, the length of the inner sepals. 
8. Limacia Wallichiana, nob. ; — folds oblongis, imo rotundatis, 
sursum gradatim paulo angustioribus, apice acutis et calloso 
mucronatis, e basi 5-nerviis, nervis exterioribus mox evanes- 
centibus, nervisque alteris utrinque 3 arcuatim nexis, mar- 
ginibus planis cartilagineis revolutis, utrinque glabris, supra 
nitidis, reticulatis, subtus pallidioribus ; petiolo tenui, limbo 
5-plo breviore, apice brevissime tumidulo, striato, obsolete 
puberulo. — In Avae regno, v. s. in herb. DC, (Wall. 1292, non 
Cat.) ; in herb. Soc. Linn., Prome (Wall. Cat. 4959 b, non a 
nec c). 
A species differing from the former in its much flatter and 
more obtuse leaves, with much longer petioles. Although the 
specimens are without flowers, I have placed it in this section, 
on account of its general resemblance to the preceding ; the 
branches are more flexuose, the axils nearer, being from 1-1 j 
inch apart; the leaves are 3^-4j inches long, l^-lf inch broad, 
on a petiole 9 lines long. 
20. Menispermum. 
This genus, formerly numerous in species, is now confined to 
two extratropical climbing plants, one of North-American, the 
other of North- Asian growth, both in latitudes beyond the pa-
