Sonerila rheedi<\/i> Wight & Arn.\u00a0<\/div>\n

Wight Arn. Prodr. (1834) p. 321 (not Wall. Cat. 4096). A small herb 4-6 in. high ; stem distinct, quadrangular, sparsely clothed with weak hairs. Leaves 1.1\/4-3 by 5\/8-1.1\/2 in., ovate, remotely bristle-serrate, often tinged with purple, the upper surface sparsely clothed with short thick bristles, the lower surface paler and usually with minute scaly points, base subcordate or rounded ; petioles 1\/2-1.1\/2 in. long, usually with a few scattered weak hairs. Flowers 4-8, crowded, subumbellate on terminal or axillary peduncles which are sometimes 2.1\/2 in. long ; pedicels 1\/8-1\/6 in. long, hairy. Calyx 3\/16-1\/4 in. long, hairy ; lobes triangular, deciduous. Petals violet, 1\/3 in. long, oblong-obovate, acute. Anthers 3\/16 in. long, bright-yellow, subulate, sagittate at the base. Capsule 1\/8-1\/6 in. long. Seeds with raised points. <\/font>Grah. Cat. p. 71. Sonerila Wallichii<\/i>, Woodr. in Journ. Bomb. Nat. v. 11 (1898) p. 637.\u2014Flowers : July-Aug.<\/font>\u00a0<\/div>\n
Triana (Trans. Linn. Soc. v. 28 [1873] p. 77) and, following him, Mr. C. B. Clarke (Hook. f. Fl. B. 1. v. 2, p. 538) reduce this plant to S. Wallichii<\/i> (Benn. Pl. Jav. Rar. p. 215) and cite S. Rheedii<\/i>, Wall., 4096, as equivalent to S. Rheedei<\/i>, Wight & Arn. Cogniaux (DC. Monogr. Phan. v. 7, p. 512) follows Mr. Clarke with a query, while the \u2018 Index Kewensis retains S. Rheedii<\/i> as a separate species, citing both Wall, and Wight & Arn. The two plants, S. Rheedei<\/i>, Wight & Arn,, and S. Rheedii<\/i>, Wall., are, however, quite distinct and belong to different sections, the first having a stem and the latter (S. Rheedii<\/i>, Wall.), which is conspecific with S. Wallichii<\/i>, Benn., and with S. acaulis<\/i>, Bedd. (Trans. Linn. Soc. v. 25 [1866] p. 216), being entirely stemless. S. Rheedei<\/i>, Wight & Arn., should properly take its place in Fl. B. I. after no. 32, S. maculata<\/i>, Roxb., to which it is nearly allied. Konkan : S. Konkan, Nimmo ex Graham. Kanara : Karwar, Talbot, 10 !\u2014Distrib.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
