Justicia uncinulata, Oliv. Leaves obovate. Corolla tube twice as 
long as the calyx, pubescent ; lobes ciliate. Style with scattered hairs.—

The above diagnosis is the whole given by Schweinfurth, nor does Engler or 
Lindau add aught. 
47. ANISOTES, Nees; Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. Pl. ii. 1111. 
Sepals 5, nearly free, subequal, linear-triangular, 3-nerved. Corolla 
2-lipped, red; tube short; lips very long, entire or minutely lobed, 
narrow-oblong. Stamens 2; filaments long, glabrous; anther-cells 2, 
linear-oblong, minutely white-tipped (not tailed) at the base, one a 
little below the other; pollen ellipsoid, 2-banded, with one or two rows 
of marks or tubercles on each side of the stopples. -Pistil glabrous; 
ovules 2 in each cell; stigma subentire. Capsule (only known in 4. 
diversifolius) oblong, 4-seeded, stalk cylindric, placente not rising 
elastically from the base of valves; seeds scabrous, almost tubercular on 
the margins.—Shrubs. Leavesentire. Flowers sessile, axillary clustered, 
or in dense spikes; bracts very small, shorter than the calyx. 
Species 5, in Africa and Arabia. 
The corolla is exceedingly like that of Macrorungia, as are the stamens, pollen and 
pistil. Further, the capsule being unknown in 4 out of 5 species, the placing these 
species in Anisotes would appear provisional merely, But the peculiar, 3-nerved, 
elongate-triangular sepals, much longer than the bracts, leave little doubt that the 
5 species are congeneric.
