DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 
T. EDENTULA, Griff. in Madr. Journ. Sc. iv.4. — * Suberect, softly hirsute, leaves 
petioled ovate-cordate subrugose, flowers pseudo-axillary fascicled and racemed, corolla 
usually pale blue with yellow spots."—Upper Assam at Suddya, Griffith. Bentham 
(in DC. Prodr.) refers his 7. peduncularis (Scroph. Ind.) to this, but Griffith's charac- 
ter of softly hirsute is irreconcilable. It may be Vandellia mollis. 
_ TORENIA ?— T'resteira lanceolata, Griff. Notul. iv. 111, t. 458, f. 6, from Mergui, 
with terete pubescent steins suffruticose below, is undeterminable. 
24. VANDELLIA, Linn. 
Herbs, usually annual, glabrous or pubescent. Leaves opposite, often 
toothed, penninerved (except in V. erecta). Flowers small, axillary or 
Tacemose; pedicels ebracteolate. Sepals 5, free or connate in a subcam- 
panulate calyx, angles not winged. Corolla-tube cylindric ; upper lip erect, 
road, concave, notched or bifid ; lower broader, spreading, 3-lobed. Stamens 
4 all perfect (except V. molluginoides); 2 posterior usually included; 2 
anterior with arched filaments appendaged at or towards the base ; anthers 
touching or cohering in pairs under the upper lip, cells divaricate. Stigma 
-lamellate. Capsule septicidal, valves separating from the placentiferous 
septum. Seeds rugose.—Species about 30, chiefly tropical Asiatic. 
* Capsule about equalling the calyx in length, or shorter. 
t Calyx in flower 5-cleft to the middle or above it.
