lanceolate hairy, cymes laxly 1-3-fld., calyx-segments elongate-lanceolate. 
TENASSERIM ; at Moulmein, Parish. 
Stem scarcely 2 in., densely leafy, upwards (with the innovations) rusty woolly. 
Leaves 5 by 1 in., acuminate at both ends, minutely crenate-sinuate, mature 
puberulous on both surfaces; petiole 2 in. Peduncles 2—4 in., puberulous; bracts 
% in., narrowly lanceolate; pedicels 4-1 in. Calyx à in., pubescent, one lip 2-partite 
the other 3-lobed half-way down. Corolla 3 in., wide funnel-shaped, glabrous, purple- 
rose; lobes rounded, 2 upper more blue. Stamens of the genus. Style linear, 
pubescent, stigma produced on one side. Capsule (immature) oblong, hairy. 
XII. PHYLLOBIEA, Benth. partly. 
An erect herb. Leaves opposite. Cymes peduncled, bracts conspicuous; 
flowers rose. Calyx large, 2-lipped; one lip 2-partite nearly to the base, 
the other 3-lobed half-way down. Corolla wide-campanulate, sub-bilabiate ; 
lobes 5, ovate, nearly equal. Stamens 2 perfect, filaments very short; 
anthers large, round, connivent, 2-celled; cells ovate, divaricate, soon 
appearing l-celled, dehiscing by a single short slit; staminodes 2-3 or 0. 
Ovary oblong, acute; disc unilateral; style longer than the ovary, stigma 
produced on one side; placentz deeply intruded, bifid, branches much 
recurved bearing ovules on both surfaces. Capsule narrow-lanceolate, 
longer than the calyx, follicular, afterwards 2-valved; valves twisted ; 
placentz papery, revolute. Seeds ellipsoid, rugose-reticulate. 
i P. amplexicaulis, Benth. in Gen. Pl. ii. 1020; glabrous, stem long, 
leaves round, petioles winged amplexicaul, cyme-branches densely many-fid., 
bracts broad almost imbricate. Boea amplexicaulis, Parish ms.; Clarke 
Comm. & Cyrt. Beng. t. 84. 
Ku EENASSERIM ; at Moulmein, Parish. Prau; Kambila-toung, alt. 3200 ft., 
rz. 
Branches 6-12 in. Leaves 6-10 in. diam., shortly acuminate, crenate-sinuate ; 
petiole 4 by fin. Peduncles 4-6 in., stout, axillary, solitary, often opposite; bracts 
à in., round, connate at the base ; cymes dichotomous ; branches 2 in., 5-25-fld. ; pedicels 
0-4 in.; bracteoles similar to the bracts but smaller. Calyz } in.; lobes herbaceous, 
spatbulate-oblong, obtuse. Corolla } in. long, $ in. diam., white suffused with rose. 
Capsule }-3 in., conical upwards, valves twisted into 2 or 3 complete spires. 
XIII. BGA, Commers. 
Perennial herbs; caulescent or scapose. Leaves opposite or crowded. 
Peduncles axillary, usually long; cymes lax or few-fid.; bracts small. 
Sepals 5, small, narrow. Corolla small or middle-sized, widely campanulate, 
somewhat unequal at the base, glabrous, 2-lipped ; lobes 5, ovate, obtuse. 
Stamens 2 perfect, 2-3 rudimentary ; filaments short, linear (in the Indian 
species); anthers 2-celled, often cohering at the apex; cells ovate, divergent 
at the base, slits usually confluent at the apex. Ovary sessile, linear; disc 
0; style as long as the ovary, glabrous upwards, stigma small obscurely 
2-lobed ; geente inflexed nearly to the axis, then recurved bearing the 
ovules. Capsule linear, loculicidal; valves 2, twisted; placentæ at first 
attached to the valves, twisted with them, afterwards separating from the 
valves, which often again split each into two. Seeds minute, ellipsoid, 
smooth, testa minutely reticulate.—Speci i Chinese, N
