21. B. courtallica, Nees in DC. Prodr. xi. 226; leaves narrowly 
obovate or elliptic attenuately acuminate at both ends glabrous, spikes 
elongate pubescent, bracts and bracteoles small linear-lanceolate, sepals

W. DECCAN PENINSULA; from the Concan to Courtallum, Wight, &c. 
A large shrub (Wight). Spikes 1-3 in., dense; bracts lin.; bracteoles 1-j in. 
Outer sepals à by } in., nervose, subcorolloid, much more pubescent than in B. 
nutans. Corolla blue and yellow (Dalzell), white (Ritchie). Capsule and seeds as in 
g. nutans.—Closely allied to B. nutans, differing in the broader sepals and larger 
owers, 
et Bracteoles 2, lanceolate or elliptic, often nearly as long as the 
ca Yr, 
22. B. conspicua, Nees in Wall. Pl. As. Rar. iii. 92, and in DC. 
Prodr. xi. 226; leaves elongate-oblong acuminate at both ends, spikes linear- 
oblong somewhat yellow-strigose, bracteoles linear-oblong as long as the 
caly X, corolla 1 in. T. Anders. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 493. Justicia

Prenana; Wallich. 
Leaves 8 by 2 in., lineolate above, somewhat yellow-strigose on the nerves beneath ; 
petiole $ in. Spikes 4 in., terminal, erect, somewhat lax ; bracts by J in., spathu- 
late-oblong ; bracteoles $ by 3 in. Outer sepals 3 in., lanceolate, acute, yellow-hairy, 
one bifid at the apex. Capsule 3 in., narrowly ellipsoid, acute at both ends, glabrate, 
4-seeded. Seeds ultimately nearly glabrous except near the base. 
23. B. Stocksii, 7. Anders. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 493; leaves 
subsessile elliptic acute shining nearly glabrous, flowers solitary axillary, 
jenja narrowly oblong hispid-ciliate as long as the calyx, capsu 
“Seeded. 
Bompay ; Bababoodun Hills, Stocks. . 
A small undershrub; branches erect, sparsely hispid. Leaves 2j by 1 in., base 
rounded, glabrous or slightly hispid-ciliate; petiole 0-} in. Bracteoles 1 by jin, 
subobtuse, Sepals 1 in., subentire, hispid-ciliate, 2 outer lanceolate, one bifid 4 the 
way down into narrow lanceolate segments. Corolla not seen. Capsule à in., 
shortly obovoid compressed rostrate. Seeds nearly } in. diam., silky, occupying the 
middle of the capsule.— T. Anderson, from the habit and leaves of this plant, 
evidently considered it allied to B. montana. The capsule is narrowed towards the 
ase, or it might be arranged in the section Prionitis. lt is really a very marked 
‘pecies, almost worthy a sectioa to itself. 
24. B. stri osa, Willd. Sp. Pl. iii. 379; leaves large ovate acute 
long-decurrent on the petiole glabrate above, spikes dense many-fld. 1-sided,

enticulate minutel strigose, corolla 13-2 in. blue. Heyne in Herb. Rottler.
