ovate, nearly glabi ous above, pubescent or snb-tdihen-
v tose hepeath. (R. W.)

byv the embryo—12 the embryo removed from its place,
J 'bufeiriverted by thé'draftsman—43-14 portions Of a leaf
magnified, to show the starry pubescence.
363. Symphobema podyandra (R. W.) corolla many
(14-18) cleft: stamens equalling the number of segments:
leaves from broadly ovate, sub-acuminate to nearly orbicular,
stellateiy hairy above, thickly tomen tose beneath*
This is altogether a larger plant than the former, and
a very distinct species—Ballaghaut hills, near Madras.
1 Flowering branch, natural size—2 corolla split' and
forcibly opened—3 anthers—4 calyx opened showing the
ovary in situ—5 ovary cut transversely,apparently 4-celled
owing to the angles of the column extending to the walls,
and erroneously represented a s cohering—6 ovary cut
vertically^ showing the column an d pendulous ovules—
7 the column and ovules detached—the angles of the
former, seed projecting between the pairs o f ovules, but
difficult to show—8 an ovule detached—9 a fruit enclosed
ini.thè persistent calyx—10 the same cut transversely, a
large albuiiu n hollow in the centre—1 1 cut vertically,
showing the form and relative size of the embryo and
albumen, the einbryo apparently far from maturity—12 a
young branch to show the foliage—13-14 a portion qf the
upper surface of a leaf magnified, to show the hairs and
a tuft of.hair—15-16 under suriace and hairs.
The p ace which this genus ought to occupy in the natural
sy stem,- does not seem well determined. Hitherto,
it h a s been referred to Verbenacetn, but I think there is
much reason to doubt the propriety of this distribution.
To me it seëins probable that this and Congiu Roxb. will
unite to form a small b u t‘.very distinct order, but whose
affinities I have not yet.fpadeout. fy

branches terete) firrix-Aleaves pimiated; leaflets 5-6-pairs,
-t the base, slightly ■ decreasing,
in size towards the apex of the leaf: Stipules subulate,
erect or incurved: racemes shorter than the leaves, sessile,
many-flowered: flowers small, approximated at the
base of the raceme, more distant and deciduous towards
the apex: calyx-segments broad, ac u te: legumes approximated
towards the base of the raebis, nearly 'cylin-1
drical, slightly forulose, defl'exed and more or less curved

truncated at both eiids:Avf. and A.'Prod'. p.'202.

brauches terete, closely covered with adpressed whitish
pubescence : leaves pinnated; leaflets 4-5-pairs, obovate,

surface glabrous; under paler,covered with depressed
hairs : racemes solitary, sessile, shorter than the leaves,
many-flowered: flowers small, pretty close, the upper ones
. deciduous: calyx-segments snort, acute: litgumes.terete,
short, about 5 times as long as broad, deflexed and falcate

slightly .torulose, 3-4*seeded —W. and A. Prod. p. 203.

■ sile, many-flowered, springing from the axils of the leaves
and from , the former years’ leafless branches : flowers
’large, at first crowded, afterwards mere distant: calyx-
segments, short and acute : petals many times longer than
thé calyx, patlilous and resembling a bilabiate corolla :
