Stem about lin.long as thick as a crow-quill, sheathed by a pair of reduced 
leaves. Leaves 1 in. long, quite glabrous, black when dry with translucent nerves 
which run straight from and through the broad petiole and uuite anastomosing near 
the top and sides of the leaf. Flowers $ in. long.— Probably belongs to the tribe 
Veronicee. The specimens are very imperfect and difficult of analysis, owing to 
their apparently fleshy texture,

tube short, decurved, upper lip 2-lobed, lower larger 3-lobed, one lateral

§ Winterbottom (Mazus, No. 4). . 
Rootstock short with thick fleshy fibres. Leaves 3-5 in., more or less pubescent 
on both surfaces, tip rounded, bise crenate; petiole broad, }—-1} in. long, winged 
above, Scape stout or slender, longer or shorter than the leaves, leafless, laxly 
hairy, as is the short loose raceme; bracts small, obovate-oblong or spathulate ; 
pedicels short. Sepals $, in. long. Corolla 4-4 in. long; tube broadly funnel- 
shaped, suddenly decurved above the base; lower lip twice as long as the upper, lobes 
obovate retuse. Style included.—Apparently near Wulfenia, but differing in the 
2-lipped corolla and included stamens. I have named it after the late Dr. Hugh 
Falconer, F.R.S., Superintendent of the Botanical Garden of Saharumpore an 
afterwards of Calcutta, to whom Falconeria, Royle, now included. under Sapium, 
was dedicated. 
Orper CIV. OROBANCHACEIE. (By J. D. Hooker.) 
Leafless brown annual white or reddish root-parasites. Stem usually 
simple, stout or slender, scaly. Flowers solitary or in spikes or racemes, 
irregular. Calyx spathaceous, or of 4-5 free or connate sepals. Corolla 
ypogynous, tube curved; limb 2-lipped; upper lip arched, lower 3-fid, 
throat often with 2 villous folds. Stamens 4, didynamous, inserted on the 
corolla-tube ; anthers 1-2-celled, cells spurred at the base opening by slits 
or basal pores, one often imperfect. Disk unilateral or glandular or 0. 
Ovary of 2 connate carpels, l- rarely 2-celled; style long, tip curved, stigma 
capitate 2-lobed; ovules many, rarely few, anatropous on 2 (rarely more) 
pairs of free or confluent parietal placentas which sometimes meet in the 
centre of the ovary. Capsule 1-celled, 2-valved, few- or many-seeded. Seeds 
minute, testa pitted or tubercled rarely lax and reticulated, albumen fleshy ; 
embryo ovoid, undivided or 2-fid.— DISTRIB. Genera 11, species about 150, 
temperate and tropical. 
I have removed Lathrea from this Order to Scrophularinee (p. 317), and taken 
Campbellia from the latter, uniting it with Christisonia.
