EXPLANATION OF PLATES.
VOL. VI .
1776-&W. NoTHOSiERVA BRACHIATA (R. W . Pseu-
danthus, R. W. non Lieber.) This plate was accidentally
omitted in its proper place. Since the publication
of that Part (vol., v. P art 2d), I have learned
that the name Pseudanthus is preoccupied, I therefore
request that the name Noxhosasrva may be substituted
(nothos, spurious), in allusion to its resemblance
to a true JErva.

This order in 1830, and for some years subsequent,
was limited to 2 genera, Peperomia and Piper. Since
then it has been carefully revised by Professor Miquel
of Amsterdam, who in 1843, published his elaborate
monograph of the order; in which he raised the
number of genera to 20, and the species to about 600.
Since the publication of that work he has made some
further additions to the number of species, which may
now be estimated at about 700. Of these 20 genera,
illustrations, more or less perfect, of six will be found
in the following 25 plates. The number of species
might have been increased had I felt sure that I had
so far mastered the specific distinctions as to avoid
errors of nomenclature. Of this, however, I did not
feel sure and have therefore, with one or two exceptions,
limited my illustrations to speeies named by the
accomplished author himself, and shall therefore exceedingly
regret, should I afterwards find that in
these exceptions I have fallen into errors.
Professor Miquel divides the order into two groups
Peperomiece and Pipereae. Of 4 genera referred to
the first division, Peperomia is the only one yet found
in India. Of the Pipereae, 7 of their 16 genera have
Asiatic representatives. Of these 7, five are here
illustrated. Of these, Muldera has only recently become
known as an Indian genos, the original species
being from Java. Rhincholepis and Zippelia are from
the same country, but as they also may yet be found
in India, I introduce their character into the following
synopsis.

1921. P eperomia D indigulensis (Miquel), erect,
branches opposite, succulent, puberulous or rarely
glabrous; leaves shortly petioled, opposite (lower ones
sometimes alternate and the terminal ones ternate) ;
elliptic, obovate, or the larger ones rhombio-obovate,
acute at the base, rounded, obtuse or shortly acuminate
at the apex; 5-nerved, sparingly pubernlous or
sometimes glabrous: catkins terminal, short pedun-
cled, filiform, erect; flowers somewhat remote, stigma
puberulous: berries globose.
In moist soil in woods often found forming dense
tufts on old mossy branches of trees. In some point
the specimen represented does not quite agree with
the character, but as corresponding ones were named
by the author, I have no doubt this is only a more
luxuriant form than that from which the character
was taken. I have gathered it on the Pulney Mountains,
Anamallay Hills, and Neilgherries.
1922-1. P eperomia Heyneana (Miq.), erect, decumbent
and rooting below, succulent, stem pilose or
glabrous: leaves opposite, the upper ones in whorls
of three or four, lanceolato-elliptic, obtuse or ernar-
ginate at the apex, acute or cuniate at the base, glabrous,
brown spotted, sometimes slightly ciliate at the
apex, one-nerved with smaller vein-ribs (venulosocostulatis),
or somewhat 3-nerved from the 2 costulae
rising at the base: catkins (aments) axillary and
terminal, peduncled, filiform, erect: flowers somewhat
remote, ovary ovate, bearing the stigma on the apex.
This like the former is a native of woods, growing
on branches of trees or moist rocks. Also in open
ground on rocks moistened by adjoining springs.
1922. P eperomia portulacoides (Dietr. Miq.),
succulent, glabrous, sparingly branched, creeping,
deeply rooting, leafless below: leaves opposite, upper
ones ternate, short petioled, succulent, glandnloso-
punctuate, obovate, oblong, or sub-spathulate, obso-
letely three- rarely 5-nerved: catkins axillary and
terminal, solitary, longish peduncled, shorter than the
peduncles, cylindrical, obtuse.
Common in alpine stations, growing in thick tufts
on moist rocks or branches of trees. This species
is described from Mauritius specimens, but mine
were named by Professor Miquel, and answer to
the character.
1923-1. P eperomia reflexa (Dietr. and Miq.),
succulent, coriaceous, rooting at the base, ascending,
erect, di- or trichotomously branched, slightly puberulous
or glabrous: leaves ternate or quaternate, (rare-
