Tribus 7. OcvMoIDEx. 
Corolla bilabiata. Stamina declinata. 
90. Moschosma. Reichenb. (Lumnitzera. Jacq. non Willd.)—Calyx ovatus, 5-dentatus, dente 
superiori majore, marginibus non decurrentibus, post anthesin patens. Corolla tubo calyce sub- 
breviore, bilabiata, labio superiori breviter quadrifido, inferiori integerrimo subplano. Stamina 4,

I am only acquainted with two species, Lumnitzera ocymoides and polystachya Jacq. 
91. Ocymum. Linn.—Calyx ovatus v. campanulatus, 5-dentatus, dentis superioris ovato- 
membranacei marginibus decurrentibus alatus, post anthesin reflexus. Corolla tubo calyce sub- 
breviore, bilabiata, labio superiori quadrifido, inferiori integerrimo subplano. Stamina 4, 
declinata. Filamenta libera, superiora basi sepiüs dentata v. penicillata. Anthere ovato- 
reniformes, loculis confluentibus. Stylus apice subulatus, equaliter bifidus. Verticillastri sepiùs 
multiflori, interrupté spicati, spicis subsimplicibus v. densè thyrsoideo-paniculatis. 
Besides nearly the whole of the species enumerated by Sprengel, I should consider the 
O. monachorum Linn. (which appears to me to be the same as O. sanctum Linn.), and also the 
O. tenuiflorum Linn. as true Ocyma; for I do not attach much importance to the presence or absence 
of the tooth of the upper filaments. 
92. Orthosiphon. Benth.—Calyx ovatus v. tubulosus, 5-dentatus, dentis superioris ovato- 
membranacei marginibus decurrentibus alatus, post anthesin reflexus. Corolla tubo exserto 
recto, fauce quali v. rariùs inflata, bilabiata, labio superiori 3-4-fido, inferiori integerrimo 
concavo. Stamina 4, declinata. Filamenta libera, edentula. Anthere ovato-reniformes, loculis 
confluentibus. Stylus apice clavato-capitatus, subinteger v. brevissimé bifidus. Verticillastri 
subsexflori, interruptè racemosi, racemis elongatis subsimplicibus. ` 
Dr. Wallich's collections contain eight or nine species of this genus, to which should be 
referred. Ocymum triste Roth. ; and perhaps also Ocymum asperum and thymiflorum Roth., and 
O. adscendens Willd. 
93. Coleus. Lour.— Calyx ovato-campanulatus, 5-dentatus, dente superiori ovato-mem- 
branaceo marginibus rariùs decurrentibus, post anthesin erectus v. reflexus. Corolla tubo exserto 
refracto v. gibbo, fauce «quali v. inflatá, bilabiata, labio superiori 3-4-fido, inferiori integro 
elongato concavo, genitalia involvente. Stamina 4, declinata. Filamenta edentula, basi tubo 
stylum vaginante connexa. Anthere ovato-reniformes, loculis confluentibus. Stylus apice sub- 
ulatus, «qualiter bifidus. Verticillastri sepiüs multiflori, nunc densè, nunc interruptè, spicati 
v. racemosi, spicis subsimplicibus v. rariüs paniculatis. 
The above character would comprehend Plectranthus barbatus Andr. bot. rep. (which is 
the P. comosus, bot. mag., P. Forskohlii bot.mag., an Willd.? and perhaps Ocymum monadel- 
phum Roth., (and which even agrees well enough with Loureiro's character of Coleus amboini- 
cus), Ocymum scutellarioides Linn., all Blume's Plectranthi, and seven or eight new East Indian 
species. 
94. Plectranthus. .L' Hér.— Calyx per anthesin campanulatus, 5-dentatus, dentibus equalibus 
V. superiori szepiüs majore, post anthesin patens, incurvus, basi gibbus v. inflatus, ore sepé bila- 
biatus, i rariús erectus, tubulosus, zequalis. Corolla tubo exserto gibbo calcarato refracto 
v. rariùs subrecto, fauce quali v. rariüs inflatá, bilabiata, labio superiori 3-4-fido, inferiori 
longiore concavo. Stamina 4, declinata. Filamenta libera, edentula. Antherz ovato-reniformes, 
loculis confluentibus, v. rariüs biloculares, loculis divaricatis. Stylus apice subulatus, equaliter 
bifidus. Verticillastri laxi, sepiis cymosi, multiflori, racemoso-paniculati. 
This genus may be divided into four sections: 1. Plectranthi veri ; calyce fructifero patente, 
basi incurvo gibbo v. inflato, corolle tubo refracto v. gibbo ; including P. coetsa Hamilt., may- 
purense Spr. (P. cordifolia Don), australis Br., glandulosus Br., congestus Br., parviflorus Willd., 
and probably also P. caninus Roth., Ocymum salvioides Roth., and O. densiflorum Roth., besides 
eleven or twelve new species from India, three or four from Madagascar, and one from the west 
coast of Africa. 2. Germanea ; calyce fructifero patente bilabiato, corolle tubo calcarato ; con- 
taining P. fruticosus L'Hér., and a new species from Madagascar in Dr. Hooker's herbarium. 
3. Pyramidium ; calyce fructifero erecto equali tubuloso, corolle tubo refracto. P. ternifolius 
Don. 4. Amethytoides; calyce fructifero via aucto subequali campanulato, corolle tubo recto 
v. subgibbo 3 comprising two or three new species from China, as also probably the P. nudiflorus 
Willd., from that country. : 
95. Geniosporum. Wail. — Calyx ovato-tubulosus, margine membranaceus, irregulariter 
5-dentatus, fructifer suberectus, dentibus nunc patulis, nunc inferioribus inflexis, basi transverse 
rugosus. Corolla tubo calycem subaquante, labio superiori quadrifido, inferiori integerrimo sub- 
plano. Stamina 4, declinata. Filamenta libera, edentula. Anthere ovato-reniformes, - > 
confluentibus. , Stylus apice bifidus, lobis sepiús dilatato-complanatis. Verticillastri multiflori, 
laxé spicati, spicis subsimplicibus. È 
Besides the Ocymum prostratum Linn., I should comprehend under Geniosporum five or siX 
new species from the East Indies, Ceylon, and Madagascar. A

whether this genus be really distinet from Geniosporum .
