O. Parishii, Clarke. 
TENASSERIM ; at Moulmein, Parish. 
Stem 7 in., slender, pubescent. Leaves 6 by 21 in., elliptic, acute, base unequal, 
crenate-serrate, thinly softly hairy on both surfaces ; petiole 2-4 in. Cymes hardly 
longer than the petiole, solitary from nearly every axil; bracts } in., linear; pedicels 
4-4 in., subracemose. Sepals tin., oblong, green, pubescent, persistent, subreflexed in 
iruit. Corolla nearly } in., personate, pale blue, glabrous except the palate. Capsule 
4 by } in., hairy, green, scarcely acute.—A complete drawing with full analysis of 
this plant was sent to Sir W. Hooker by Mr. Parish ; it resembles a Boea but for the 
corolla and the broader submembranous capsule, which resembles Phyllobe a. 
XV. KLUGIA, Schlecht. 
Herbs, rooting at the base, then erect, somewhat succulent. Leaves 
alternate (or subopposite one of the pair reduced to an auricle), acuml- 
nate, unequal-sided, cordately auricled on one side of the unequal base, 
subentire or sinuate, many-nerved. Racemes terminal or leaf opposed, 
many-fld.; bracts 0; bracteoles at the base of the pedicels small, linear ; 
flowers small, short-pedicelled, pendulous. Calyx laxly campanulate, 
5-angled or -winged, posterior wing often larger produced at the base ; lobes 
5, Shorter or longer than the tube. Corolla-tube cylindric; limb 2-lipped ; 
upper lip very small, lower broad, rounded or shortly 3-lobed, blue with 2 
yellow marks. Stamens 4 perfect, included ; anthers approximated by pairs, 
2-celled ; cells short, divaricate, early confluent. Ovary ovoid, glabrous; 
dise short, cylindric; style longer than the ovary, glabrous, stigma obliquely 
dilated obscurely 2-lobed ; placentz deeply inflexed, each divided into 2 
thick plates, bearing ovules on all sides. Capsule included in the calyx, 
broadly ellipsoid, loculicidal, 2-valved. Seeds ellipsoid, truncate at both 
ends, minutely striate, more or less reticulated.—Species 3 in India, 1 in 
Mexico.
