distinct from the next. T. Anderson regards the presence of scattered solitary 
flowers in the lower axils as of specific importance, and has deviated from the results 
of the older botanists accordingly. 
18. J. tranquebariensis, Linn. f. Suppl. 85; very. woody, leaves 
3-4 in. orbieular or obovate puberulous or pubescent, bracts ovate or 
orbicular puberulous or pubescent, corolla 4 in. Wall. Cat. 2462; T. Anders. 
in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 518, partly. Gendarussa tranquebariensis, Wees in 
Wall. Pl. As. Rar. iii. 105; Wight Til. t. 164 b, fig. 8, and Je. t. 462. 
Adhatoda tranquebariensis, Nees in DC. Prodr. xi. 899. 
S. MADRAS and CEYLON, especially on hot dry low hills, frequent ; Wight, &c. 
A low, intricate undershrub ; nodes very short. Inflorescence, corolla, capsule 
and seeds as of J. glauca.— Wight's figure represents a more diffuse plant with leaves 
considerably larger than in any of the specimens; it is a form intermediate between 
J. glauca & tranquebariensis as here understood ; Col. Beddome believes these two not 
specifically distinct. 
19. J. salsoloides, T. Anders. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 514; branches 
softly white-hairy, leaves small spathulate or oblong subglabrous, bracts 
elliptic or oblong, corolla 1-3 in. densely white-hairy. 
Carnatic and Mysore; Wight, G. Thomson. . 
A rigid, much-branched, small undershrub; branches densely shortly hairy. 
Leaves sessile, 3-2 in., obtuse. Spikes terminal, few-fld., with scattered solitary, often 
ebracteate flowers in the axils below; bracts } by 3 in.; bracteoles similar, smaller, or 
often 0. Sepals à in., linear-lanceolate, pubescent. Lower anther-cell tailed. 
Capsule } in., clavate, densely pubescent (T. Anderson).—Easily separated from J. 
trinervis (and its Var. arenaria) by the white-furred branches and narrower non- 
marginate bracts. 
Sect. 3. Calophanoides. Flowers axillary, solitary clustered or in 
dense cymes, without a terminal spike or panicle. Calyx sub-5-partite. 
Corolla small. Seeds subtubercular or verrucose, not hispid. 
* Bracts obovate or spathulate (all perhaps var. of one). 
20. J. quadrifaria, Wall. Cat. 2479; leaves shortly petioled elliptic 
acute at both ends puberulous on the nerves beneath, flowers in close 
axillary clusters, corolla 1-3 in. T. Anders. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 514, 
partly. Gendarussa quadrifaria, Nees in Wall. Pl. As. Rar. iii. 109.

, KnastA and JarxTEA Mrs., alt, 3000 ft.; Wallich, &c. Assam; Griffith (Kew 
Distrib. n. 6188).—Distrrs. S. China. 
Branches 2 ft., little divided, rusty-pubescent. Leaves 3} by 14 in., drying black, 
not or obscurely lineolate ; petiole 4 in. Flowers 1-5-nate; bracts ł in., spathulate, 
orbicular or emarginate, very rusty-pubescent; bracteoles similar, smaller, or 0. 
Sepals 1 in. and upwards, linear-lanceolate, lineolate, puberulous. Corolla hairy, 
white rose-spotted. Lower anther-cell white-tailed. Capsule } in., minutely pubes- 
cent, 4-seeded ; solid pedicel very short. Seeds tubercular, verrucose, glabrous. 
_21. J. Zollingeriana, Clarke; leaves shortly petioled oblong acu- 
minate at both ends nearly glabrous, flowers in close axillary clusters, 
corolla 3-3 in. J. quadrifaria, T! Anders. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 514, 
partly. Adhatoda Zollingeriana, Nees in DC. Prodr. xi. 396.
