pubescent, rather slender, spike short lax-fld., bracts about equalling the 
corolla, calyx-segments ovate-lanceolate 3-nerved entire equalling the 
corolla-tube, corolla $ in. long pubescent orange-brown, lobes toothed or 
crénate not ciliate, filaments glabrous except at the base, anthers sparsely 
pubescent or glabrous. Reuter in DC. Prodr.xi.21; Reichb. Ic. Fl. Germ.

Stem 6-12 in., often tuberous below, rarely as thick as a swan's quill. Spike 
1-8 in. Corolla curved, glandular-pubescent. Stamens inserted low down in the 
tube. 
7. O. nicotianse, Wight Ill. 179, t. 158; stout or slender, puberulous, 
spikes many- and dense-fld., bracts lanceolate as long as the corolla-tube, 
calyx-segments almost as long subulate-lanceolate entire, corolla inm 
glabrous tube contracted in the middle,lobes pale blue glabrous crenate, 
filaments pubescent at the base only, anthers glabrous. 
The DECCAN ; common in and destructive of tobacco crops, Wight. 
Stem 8-12 in., as thick as the little finger in Wight’s specimen, much more slender 
in his figure, pale brown. Scales few, ovate, acuminate. Spike longer than the rest 
of the stem, cylindric, obtuse; bracts many-nerved. Calyx puberulous. Corolla 
quite glabrous, lobes small.—The contraction of the middle of the corolla-tube dis 
tinguishes this species. Wight regards the caiyx-segments as bracteoles. 
8. O. Clarkei, Hook. f.; glandular-puberulous, spike short rather 
lax-fid., bracts lanceolate half as long as the corolla-tube, calyx-segments 
nearly as long subulate-lanceolate, corolla lin. tube nearly straight not 
contracted in the middle, lobes blue glabrous crenate, filaments and anthers 
glabrous. 
WESTERN TIBET ; Karakoram or Artemisia, alt. 9000 ft., Clarke. 
This Clarke was disposed to regard as a form of O. nicotiane, which differs widely 
in the smaller flowers, and form of the corolla-tube.
