x. 413; glabrous, except the ciliate leaf-axils and calyx, leaves subsessile 
ovate-lanceolate or oblong base cuneate or rounded margins scabrid, pedicels 
rigid umbellately fascicled rather longer than the calyx which is 5-cleft 
to the middle in flower, sepals free in fruit longer than the ovate-oblong 
capsule. Torenia molluginoides, Benth. in Wall. Cat. 3960. 
Burma; Mts. of Prome, Wallich. PEGv, Kurz. TENASSERIM ; at Moulmein, 
Lobb, Parish. 
A slender laxly branched herb, 1-14 foot high, with the habit ofa Mollugo or 
Holosteum. Leaves 4 in. long, margin thickened, obsoletely crenate. ^ Pedicels 
often deflexed in fruit. Calyx 3 iu. long in fruit. Longer filaments with a very 
short obtuse tooth, according to Bentham.—In Moulmein specimens I find 2 perfect 
stamens, and 2 filiform staminodes hooked near the top. 
3. V. Hookeri, Clarke mss.; diffusely branched, softly hairy all over, 
leaves sessile or petioled ovate or lanceolate serrate, pedicels axillary an 
subumbellate at the ends of the branches about aslong as the calyx which is 
5-cleft to the middle in flower, sepals free or not in fruit hispidly hairy 
much longer than the oblong capsule.—Torenia, n. 10 Herb. H. f. & T.

Branched from the base; the branches divaricate and do not root, are rather 
robust, 4-8 in. high. Leaves 3-1 in. hairy on both surfaces. Pedicels spreading. 
Calyx 1-3 in. long. Corolla blue-purple.—Very near V. molluginoides, but larger 
with much larger flowers, and leaves with margins not thickened. 
tt Sepals in flower free to the base or nearly so. 
4. V. elata, Benth. Scroph. Ind. 36, and in DC. Prodr. x. 414; 
slender, suberect or diffuse, glabrous or sparsely hairy, leaves petioled

equalling the broadly oblong capsule. Tittmannia elata, Benth. in Wall.

Stem simple or 3-chotomously branched, 6-10 in. high. Leaves }-} in.; petiole 
half as long. Pedicels 2-3 times as long as the fruiting sepals, spreading or deflexed,

Corolla very minute, hardly exceeding the calyx. 
5. V. multiflora, G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 549 ; erect, succulent, glabrous, 
leaves sessile or narrowed into a petiole oblong or ovate-oblong or obovate 
obtuse entire or sinuate, flowers racemed, pedicels exceeding the calyx, sepals 
lanceolate shorter than the orbicular capsule. Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 414.
