narrow. Calyx obliquely campanulate, copiously glandular-hairy ; teeth 
linear-lanceolate, much longer than the tube, with a prominent middle- 
nerve. Corolla pallid below, otherwise blue, 8—10 lin. long, constricted 
above the insertion of the stamens, moderately curved, gradually 
widened into the throat ; limb glabrous; upper lip 2-lobed, lobes elliptic, 
rotundate-acuminate or acute, repand ; lower lip equally 3-lobed, lobes 
elliptic-acuminate or rotundate, repand or denticulate, plicate, Fila- 
ments inserted 24 lin. above the base, sparingly and shortly hairy near 
the base; anthers glabrous. Stigma 2-lobed, white. 
Wile Land. Abyssinia: near Ghaza (Ghaga) according to Beck (without 
indication of the collector). 
O. Schultzii is a Mediterranean species, ranging from Morocco and Spain to 
Syria. The forma pyramidalis was originally described as a distinct species, 
Phelipea pyramidalis, Reuter in DC. Prodr. xi. 7, from specimens collected by 
Boissier in Asia Minor. They have a very hairy corolla-limb with obtuse or subacute 
lobes and woolly anthers. 
6. O. tunetana, var. tacassea, Beck, Monogr. Ovob. in Bibl. Bot. iv. 
118, ¢. ii. fig. 24. Stem slender, simple, densely white-tomentose, 3—5 in. 
high. Scales ovate-lanceolate, adpressed, subglabrous, 24-4 lin. long. 
Spike short, cylindric or subcapitate, dense or loose below, 3—10-flowered, 
rounded at the top; bracts ovate-lanceolate, shorter than the calyx, 
and like it densely woolly tomentose. Calyx campanulate, teeth shorter 
than the tube, lanceolate. Corolla infiated at the base, constricted 
above the ovary, then conspicuously curved forwards and widened into 
the violet throat, copiously hairy, 84—9 lin. long ; upper lip deeply 
2-lobed, lobes elliptic, acuminate, inciso-crenate ; lower lip deflexed, 
lobes large, ovate or elliptic, denticulate. Filaments quite glabrous ; 
anthers long-acuminate, subglabrous. Stigma-lobes confluent, white. 
n say Land. Abyssinia: Tacazze Valley, at Semam, Sfeudner, according to 
CCK. 
Typical O, tunetana is a native of Tunis, and seems to be a wel!-marked 
species. 
Orpver XCIV. LENTIBULARIEZ. (By Otto Stapf.) 
Flowers hermaphrodite, zygomorphic. Calyx inferior, deeply 2-?- 
partite, regular or more or less 2-lipped, or the sepals free to the base. 
Corolla gamopetalous, 2-lipped, spurred, rarely saccate; tube very short; 
upper lip interior, entire to 2-lobed ; lower entire to 2—3-lobed, usually 
with a vaulted, more or less 2-gibbous palate. Stamens 2, anticous, 
attached to the base of the corolla, slightly converging in front of the 
stigma ; filaments short, usually curved and asymmetrically thickened ; 
anthers 2-celled ; cells diverging, confluent, dehiscing by a common slit. 
Ovary superior, 1-celled ; carpels 2, median ; style simple, short or very 
Short ; stigma more or less distinctly 2-lipped, upper lip usually very 
small or obscure; placenta free central ovoid or globose, rarely reduced
