An erect herb. Leaves 5 by 14-2 in.; petiole } in., usually pubescent. Racemes 
in the Indian examples forming very compound, slender, terminal, lax panicles; bracts 
minute linear; pedicels often 3-3 in. Sepals } in., linear-lanceolate. Corolla 
glabrous, pink or whiteish ; cylindric base of the tube scarcely i; in. ; lobes 5, ovate, 
subequal. Stamens 2, with 2 minute linear rudiments. Capsule 1 in. ; base cylindric, 
solid. Seeds 4 as of Eranthemum, but nearly smooth, scarcely rugose.—The Chinese 
examples all ditfer from the Indian in their much simpler inflorescence. Bentham, in 
allowing the genus 2 species in the Gen. PL, appears to think the Chinese plant 
distinct, but in the Flora of Hongkong he had united them. 
XXVIII. ANDROGRAPHIS, Wail. 
Annual herbs or very small shrubs, erect or procumbent. Leaves entire. 
Racemes axillary and terminal, lax, often compound subpanicled, or dense 
or subcapitate, sometimes reduced and 1-fid., frequently l-sided ; bracts 
small; bracteoles minute or 0. Sepals narrow. Corolla small, tubular, 
2-lipped, white or pink with dark-purple lower lip, pubescent. Stamens 2; 
filaments ciliate or setulose; anthers exserted, 2-celled; cells oblong, 
arallel, muticous, subequal, base bearded. Ovary 6-12-ovulate, thinly 
airy; style slender, tip minutely bifid. Capsule linear-oblong or elliptic, 
cua pressed contrary to the septum, 6-12-seeded. Seeds osseous, sub- 
i: drate or oblong, not compressed, rugose-pitted, glabrous.—Endemic in 
ndia; the 17 species being very closely connected, and identical as to form 
and colour of flower, and as to seeds.
