HUGHLI HOWRAH AND THE 24-PERGUNNAHS.

* Linmopliila gratissima BI. ; B P. ii. 764. 
Western Sundribuns at Jatta, in a sweet water tank. 
* Linmopliila racemosa Benth. ; H. S'. 502 ; B. P. ii. 764. 
Rice-fields and swamps, occasional. 
* Linmopliila gratioloides R. Br. ; H. S. 502 ; B. P. ii. 764. L . gratio - 
loides VAR. myriophylloides H. S. 502. 
v. Karpur . 
Rice-fields, swamps and damp places everywhere. 
390 . Herpestis Gsertn. f. 
* Herpestis Honnieria H. B. & K. ; H. S. 502 ; B. P. ii. 765. 
v. Adha birnt. 
Marshes, rice-field borders, and wet places everywhere. 
Herpestis ctiamsedroides Linn. ; B. P. ii. 765. 
A fairly common weed of garden paths about Calcutta ; a quite 
recent introduction from America. 
Herpestis Hamiltoni ana Benth,; B. P. ii. 765. H. sessiliflora H.S. 
502.

* Dopatrium junceum Ham.; (H. S. 503) ; B. P. 766. D. nudicaule 
H. S. 503. 
Rice-fields and swamps, mostly west of the Hughli.

has been that it is D. junceum which occurs in our districts. 
393. Torenia Linn.

Reported from Serampore by Voigt, but certainly not a native of 
our districts, though it may quite possibly have been met with by 
him as a casual, introduced with seeds from other parts of India ; 
native of the higher parts of India and of the lower Himalayan 
spurs. 
Torenia asiatica Linn. ; H. S. 505. 
Reported from Serampore by Voigt, but certainly not a native of 
our districts. From his citations it would appear that Voigt refers to
