and possibly new. The present species was collected by Prof. Fyson at Kodaikanal in 
thin jangle without high trees where however the lower vegetation was fairly thick, near 
water and accompanied by Vaccinium Leschenaultii Wight Rhodcmyrtus tomentosa 
Wight, Andrographis and Bidens spp. at an, elevation of 7,200 ft. It was previously 
found by Sir Alfred Bourne near the Glen Falls shola in the Pulney Hills in 1808 and so 
far as is known these are the only records of the plant. Prof. Fyson suggests that as few 
collectors are about at the time of year the plant flowers it may be commoner than collec- 
tions would indicate. 
The plate has been prepared from Prof. Fysou’s material and from a painting kindly 
lent by Mrs. Fyson.
