dispositis, singulis bracteolis 2 parvis lanceolatis et extus bractea magna 
obovata rubella obtusa suffultis, calycis quinquepartiti segmentis linearibus 
pilosis, corolle tubo cylindrico, limbo bilabiato quam calyx paulo breviore, 
genitalibus inclusis, 
An erect perennial herb or undershrub, with slender green 
shortly pilose branches. Leaves opposite, distant, distinctly pe- 
tioled, 11-2 in. long, under an inch broad at the middle, narrowed 
gradually to both ends, thin in texture, green and glabrous on 
both surfaces. Flowers in short peduncled spikes from the axils 
of the upper leaves, each flower subtended by a pair of small lan- 
ceolate bracteoles, and on the outside by an obovate reddish obtuse 
membranous bract as long as the flower. Calyx 4 in. long, cut 
down to the base into lanceolate acuminate pilose segments. 
Corolla 3 in. long, with a cylindrical tube as long as the calyx 
and a bilabiate limb, of which the posticous lip is cleft into three 
oblong segments. Anthers oblong, 4 lin. long, rather longer than 
the filaments, the two cells but slightly unequal. Capsule as 
long as the calyx, with lanceolate valves, two seeds in each.—

JUSTICIA (§ ANISOSTACHYA) CHLOROPTERA, n. Sp. 
Perennis, ramulis gracillimis breviter pilosis, foliis petiolatis oblongis 
acutis integris membranaceis glabris, floribus copiose spicato-paniculatis, 
singulis bracteolis 2 parvis lanceolatis et estus bractea magna obcordata 
viridula spathulata suffultis, calycis quinquefidi segmentis lineari-setaceis, 
capsula clavata calyci equilonga. 
A near ally of the last species, with precisely similar general 
habit and leaves. Flowers in branched peduncled spikes from 
the axils of the upper leaves, forming a broad obtuse terminal 
decompound panicle, each flower subtended by a pair of small 
lanceolate bracteoles adpressed to the calyx and an obovate-spa- 
thulate green membranous bract on the outside 4-4 in. long, 
conspicuously emarginate at the top. Calyx nearly as long as 
the bract, cut down to the base into 5 linear-setaceous segments. 
Corolla not seen. Capsule clavate, as long as the calyx, splitting 
to the base into two recurving lanceolate valves with a couple of 
seeds in each.— Central Madagascar, Baron 2175!
