116 DR. H. F. HANCE'8 SUPPLEMENT TO 
*Strobilanthes flaccidifolius, Nees in DC. Prod. xi. 194; T. Anders. 
in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 481. (=S. Championi, T. Anders. in Benth. 
Fl. Hongk. 261.) 
Dr. Anderson has shown that this plant, which, according to 
Fortune, is largely cultivated for tinctorial purposes in the pro- 
vince of Chekiang, is the source of the celebrated blue dye called 
* Room T", extracted by the Assamese and Burmese, and by the 
Mishmi hillmen. 
*Justicia procumbens, Linn.; T. Anders. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 
511. (=Rostellaria procumbens, Nees; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 265.) 
*Dicliptera chinensis, Nees. 
Dr. Anderson has now ascertained (Journ. Linn. Soe. ix. 520) 
that D. Burmanni, Nees, and D. Roxburghii, Nees, which he had 
been disposed, with Mr. Bentham, to regard as identical with this, 
are quite distinet species. 
*Caryopteris Mastacanthus, Schauer. 
This plant has a strong scent, exactly like that of the weod em- 
ployed for sheathing lead pencils (Juniperus virginiana, Linn. ?). 
*Premna integrifolia, Linn.; Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 894. (=P. serrati- 
folia, Linn.? Benth. Fl. Hongk. 269.) 
Miquel doubts the identity of Linneus’s P. serratifolia ; but, in- 
dependently of this, the other name is much the more applicable— 
as the leaves are usually quite entire, or have at most a few blunt 
teeth, but are never serrate. 
*Callicarpa breviceps, Hance in Ann. Sc. Nat. Par. ser. 5, v. 233. (— 
C. longifolia, var. brevipes, Benth. Fl. Hongk. 970.) 
I cannot regard this as a form of C. longifolia, Lam., which has 
longer and entire or minutely serrulate leaves, extremely viscid 
when fresh—glabrous branches—the blossoms scarcely one third 
the size, disposed in lax, many-flowered, longish-stalked cymes— 
the roundish-oval anthers eight or ten times as small, borne on 
long capillary exserted filaments, and the fruit only about # of a 
line in diameter and flat at the top. In C. brevipes, on the other 
hand, the branches are clothed with a yellowish furfuraceous pu- 
bescence; the leaves, which are without any trace of viscidity, 
have distant shallow serratures; the cymes are almost sessile ; 
the flowers fewer, larger; the large anthers only partially pro- 
ject beyond the corolla; and the fruit is spherical, and about 
as large as a pepper-corn. Mr. Sampson, as well as myself, has 
t Cfr. Rondot, Le Vert de Chine, 34.
