Justicia. | CIX. ACANTHACEE. (C. B. Clarke.) 525 
Justicia bivalvis, Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. 124, came from the Moluccas, and was 
probably a Dicliptera; though Roxburgh quotes his species as the same as Linnwus’ 
under that name, he excludes (correctly) the plate on which Linneus founded his 
species, 
Gendarussa virgata, Wall. Cat. 7176, was collected in Ava, outside the bounds of 
British India. 
Justicia inconspicua, Wall. Cat. 2475, collected in Penang, is not in Wallich’s 
Herbarium at the Linn. Soc., nor are there any data for determining its genus. 
Sect. 1. Hemichoriste.  Shrubby. Spikes elongate; flowers clus- 
tered; bracts herbaceous, subovate. Corolla and capsule large. 
1. J. montana, Wail. Cat. 2471, not of Rorb.; leaves large elliptic 
acute at both ends glabrous, spikes near the ends of the branches subpani- 
culate, inflorescence subviscidly pubescent. T, Anders. in Journ. Linn. 
Soc. ix. 509; Benth. in Gen. Pl. ii. 1109. J. longifolia, Wall. Cat. 2437.

W. Deccan PENINSULA, in the Ghauts, from M ahabelaishwur (Law) to 
Nilgherries (Wight). . 
Stem erect, subtetragonous, puberulous upwards. Leaves 9 by 3j in., both sur- 
faces punctulate ; petiole 1 in. Spikes 6-15 in., the terminal often paniculately 
branched ; lower clusters of flowers usually distant, upper continuous ; bracts + by 
p in., lower larger; bracteoles smaller, elliptic, near the base of the pedicel ; pedicels 
0-i in. Sepals 5, X in., sublinear, pubescent. Corolla 1-1} in., 2-lipped half its 
length, minutely pubescent, red. Stamens 2 (without any rudiments) ; lower anther- 
cells long-spurred. Capsule 1 in., clavate, pubescent, 4-seeded near the top. Seeds 
glabrous, intensely rugose, but possibly smooth when fully ripe.—Nees says ‘stamens 
4, 2 shorter with 1-celled anthers or rudimentary ;” but there is no trace of these 
shorter stamens in the example named by Nees’ hand. 
Sect. 2, Betonica. Shrubs or herbs. Spikes continuous; bracts ovate 
or elliptic, often 4-ranked, mostly imbricate. Calyx-segments 5, nearly 
equal. . 
* Bracts white, green-nerved.
