Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Part II Natural Science 1903

1903

Read 1st April 1903.] Having bad occasion to assort the material of the natural order ScropWariness preserved in the Herbarium attached to the Royal Botanic Garden at Shibpur the writer finds as is usually the case thnt there are a number of species belonging to the order which are new to India in the sense that they are not included in the account of the family published by Sir J. D. Hooke [...] Following the practice commenced now fifteen years ago of providing diagnoses of species thus found to bo new to the Indian flora arranged according to the method ofethe Flora of British India for the benefit of members of the Society who may be botanising near the Indian frontiers the writer now presents the necesary supplement to this particular natural family. [...] The only tangible character in the various diagnoses of those two species is that the style in Lindenbergia otaerostaehya is glabrous whereas in L. philippensis it is hirsute at the base. [...] The bracts of the Nicobar specimens are rather larger than these of the original Sumatra plant bat the leaves are identical. [...] Add to localities of F. B. I. :—CritrucoNG ; Puttea Clarke ! BURMA ; Rangoon Kurz! Tenasserim Helfer ! The groat rarity of this species to the oast of India Proper leads to the snpicion of introduction.
