The writer has rot seen fruiting specimens of a Japanese sea- 
coast species identified by Mr. Maximowicz and others with G. obtusifolia 
DC. (0. lineata DC.; DolicJws lineatus Thunbg.) but from two fiowering 
specimens in Herb. Calcutta, it is apparently not specifically identical 
with the Indian 0. obtusifolia figured by Dr. Cleghorn {Madr. Lit. 8oc. 
Journ., n. s., i, t. 4). On the other hand there is no aj^parent difference 
in flowers, leaves or habit, between the Japanese Lolichos lineatus and 
the Indo-Chinese and Malayan Ganavalia turgida. If the fruits are also 
found to agree, and if DoUchos lineatus is the true Ganavalia obtusifolia, 
G. turgida will have to be reduced to G. obtusifolia. If the fruits differ 
G. turgida undoubtedly deserves the specific rank assigned to it by 
Graham, Wallich and Miquel. The name “ G. obtusifolia,’^ it may be 
remarked, is as appropriate to the Indian seashore plant, as it is unsuit¬ 
able to the Japanese littoral G. lineata and to the Indo-Chinese and 
Malayan littoral G. turgida. ^
