I have seen no specimens of this, which is probably referable to L. Benthamiana. 
Possibly there is but one species of this genus. 
Trs: IX. EUPHRASIEJE. 
48. PHTHEIROSPERMUM, Bunge. 
(& 50 EMMENOSPERMUM, Clarke.) 
Annual or biennial, viscid herbs. Leaves opposite, pinnatifid. Flowers 
axillary, solitary, sessile or shortly pedicelled, ebracteolate. Calyx cam- 
panulate, 5-fid, lobes short narrow. Corolla 2-lipped, tube broad, dilated 
above; upper lip very short, erect, lobes 2 folded back ; lower longer, broader, 
spreading, 2-fid, throat open, palate 2-gibbous. Stamens 4, didynamous; 
anthers beneath the upper lip glabrous, cells equal parallel distinct, bases 
mucronate. Stigma spathulate, shortly 2-lobed. Capsule compressed, 
beaked, loculicidal; valves entire, semiseptiferous, at length separating from 
the placentiferous column. Seeds numerous, ovoid, reticulated.— Species 3, 
a Chinese and Japanese and 2 Indian. 
A new genus (Himmenospermum) has been proposed by Clarke (and inadvertently 
introduced into the key, p. 249) for P. Parishii, founded on the seeds being minutely 
reticulated and not striate, a character not supported by habit or any other. The seeds 
of P. chinense are ellipsoid jj in. long, with a loose pale reticulated testa ; those 
of P. Parishii are about half that size, with a dark close testa. Much greater 
differences occur in the seeds of all large and many small genera of Serophularinete. 
l. P. Parishii, Hook. f.; softly hairy, leaves sessile broadly ovate 
deeply pinnatifid, lobes obtuse, flowers subsessile, corolla-tube much longer 
than the calyx, upper lip very short truncate 2-toothed, lobes of lower 
obcordate.
