TOURNEFORTIA PUBERULA, n. sp. 
T. ramulis apice brunneo-puberulis, foliis petiolatis oblongis acutis 
membranaceis utrinque viridibus glabris, floribus minutis in paniculam 
terminalem ramulis patulis scorpioideis dispositis, pedicellis nullis vel bre- 
vissimis, calycis segmentis 5 lanceolatis, fructu oblongo glabro. 
A shrub, with slender angled woody branchlets clothed with 
thin pubescence towards the top. Petiole 1-2 in. long; blade

Flowers in a terminal panicle, the cymes in the flowering stage 
an inch long ; branchlets densely silky ; flowers sessile or nearly 
so. Calyx i lin. long, with a very short tube and 5 lanceolate 
teeth. Corolla with a cylindrical silky tube twice as long as the

CYNOGLOSSUM MONOPHLEBIUM, n. sp. 
C. caule hispido, foliis sessilibus oblanceolatis obtusis utrinque viridibus 
hispidis, cymis racemiformibus deorsum laxis, pedicellis brevissimis, calycis 
hispidi segmentis deltoideis, floribus parvis, carpellis fructiferis dense 
breviter echinatis. 
Stems erect, copiously branched, clothed with ascending whitish 
bristly hairs, Leaves alternate, thin in texture, sessile, erecto- 
patent, obtuse, 2-3 in. long, j-j in. broad, narrowed gradually

C. caule hispido, foliis lanceolatis sessilibus integris membranaceis utrin- 
que viridibus hispidis, cymis racemiformibus deorsum laxis, pedicellis infe- 
rioribus cernuis quam ealyx 3-4plo longioribus, calycis dense pilosi tubo 
brevi segmentis ovatis, floribus pro genere magnis, carpellis tuberculatis
