FokrEN: hill-sides near Foochow at 800 feet above the sea 
(Augustinowicz ex Maximowicz). 
According to numbers cited by Mr. de Maximowicz in a letter 
to Professor Oliver, there are several specimens of this species at 
Kew; but they do not quite agree with the description, and differ 
mainly from M. dianthera, Maxim., in the acute upper teeth of 
the calyx.

Kashmir eastward to Chittagong, Khasia, and Burma.

ties (Faber, 62! Ford, 141, 142 !). Herb. Kew. 
This is a very distinct species, and is a connecting link with 
Elsholtzia. In luxuriant much-branched specimens eighteen 
inches high we find the lower anthers of the lower stamens, 
though much smaller, distinctly two-celled and apparently 
polliniferous ; but on this point we are not sure. 
4. Mosla formosana, Maxim. in Mél. Biol. ix. p. 434. 
Formosa: Tamsui (Oldham, 362). Mus. Brit.; Herb. Kew. 
There is a singularly abnormal specimen of this in the Kew 
Herbarium with solitary axillary flowers ; and there is a speci- 
men from North-western India, collected by Falconer, which we 
cannot distinguish from typical M. formosana, Maxim.

Also in Japan. 
* The species of this genus proposed by Maximowiez are most of them very 
closely allied ; and we have not been able to sort the numerous specimens 
satisfactorily.
