APOCYNE^. 
45. WiLLTJGHBEiA EDULis Roxb. In the interior jungle, only once 
met with. 
46. Tabernaimontana crispa Roxb. Very abundant on the west 
and somewhat less frequent on the north shore. A distinct northern 
extension to the distribution of this species which has been hitherto 
known from the Andamans and the Nicobars only. Follicles 3-keeled, 
green, 2*75 cm. long, 1 cm, anteroposterior, 0*75 cm. lateral diams,, 
sessile avicular (beak slender recurved 6 mm. long) semicircular (ven- 
trally convex, dorsum straight or very slightly concave), when opened 
flat 2*25 cm. across; endocarp brilliant scarlet. 
47. Icijnocarpus prutescens R. Br. Extensive climber; frequent 
in the interior. Flowers sweet smelling ; corolla here pure white, not 
purple. 
ASCLEPIADACE^. 
48. Dregea volubilis Benth. In the interior jungle ; frequent. 
GENTIANAOE^. 
49. Limnanthbmum parvieolium Griseb. Plentiful near the west¬ 
ern end of the tank and the only species present. A species with, so 
far as is known, a somewhat detached distribution.* It is plentiful in 
the western Deccan and in Ceylon. This gathering is intermediate as 
to situation between that of Hooker and Thomson (Chittagong) and 
that of Wallich (Tavoy)—the only two previous gatherings recorded 
from the Trans-gangetic Peninsula; perhaps it indicates that it would be 
oftener found if particularly looked for. ^ 
HYDROPHTLLACE^. 
50. Htdrolea zetlanica Vahl. Swampy ground at west end of 
tank: plentiful. 
BORAGINACE^. 
51. Ehretia LiEviS Roxb. Common ; all the specimens from this 
locality are absolutely glabrous ; there is no indumentum or any trace of 
such, even on young branches, on young leaves, or on the youngest flower- 
buds. 
* Another species with a similarly detached distribution is L.\aurantiacum Dalz., 
a common species in the western Deccan and Ceylon (from Bombay southwards), 
and hitherto supposed to be confined te this area. Excellent specimens have, how¬ 
ever, been sent (14th December 1889) by H. T. Peter, Esq., from Narayangunge near 
Dacca, and identified by Dr. G. King, f. k. s.
