A very elegant little plant, the smallest flowered of any allied to Z. polyantha, of 
Which it is a glabrous miniature. Leaves 4-3 in. long. Pedicels rarely as long as the 
narrow calyx. Corolla 3-4 in. long. Capsule obovoid-oblong.

elliptic or ovate-oblong obtuse crenulate, flowers large sessile in the axils 
of opposite or alternate leafy bracts forming terminal and axillary sessile or

very distinct species to Griffith's Z. cana at Mr. Clarke's suggestion; from the habitat 
and other characters it may be the true plant, but I have seen no specimens from 
Griffith, who describes the leaves as 3-nately whorled and the flowers as furnished with 
most minute tooth-like bracteoles, which latter I do not find. It should be sought 
for at J umalpore, Griffith’s locality.
