566 CXI. VERBENACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Verbena. 
V. spuria, Linn. Sp. Pl.99. V. sororia, Don Prodr. 104; Sweet Brit. Fi. 
Gard. iii. t. 202. 
HIMALAYA, alt. 1-6000 ft., from Kashmir to Bhotan, frequent. BENGAL PLAIN 
to the Sunderbunds, frequent.—DisTris, Temperate and subtropical regions. 
Stems 1-2 ft., decumbent, then erect, quadrangular, puberulous. Leaves 2-4 in., 
variously lobed, base narrowed, lower petioled, more or less pubescent, usually hoary 
on the nerves beneath. Spikes at first dense, in fruit 3-10 in. Calyx tyz ins 
apparently of 4 oblong and 1 linear segments united into a tube by their scarious 
margins; teeth most minute. Corolla 4 in., blue; lobes subquadrate, throat hairy. 
Pyrenes },-7; in., oblong, 3-ribbed, smooth dorsally, their inner faces with minute 
white flaking cells similar to those of Bouchea hyderabadensis.—T. Thomson collected 
at Kussoor, and Clarke at Chumba, a monstrous form with proliferous spikes, forming 
densely branched panicles, the lower flowers all pedicelled, variously altered and 
infertile. 
VIII. GEUNSIA, Blume. 
Trees or large shrubs, stellately tomentose. Leaves opposite, every 
alternate pair usually widely separated so that there appear to be 2 alternate 
leaves on each internode, petioled, nearly entire. Cymes peduncled, axillary, 
many-flowered; bracts linear, small. Calyx campanulate, shortly 5-6- 
toothed. Corolla tubular; limb equally 5-6-toothed. Stamens 5; anthers 
exserted; cells oblong, parallel. Ovary imperfectly 5-3-celled; cells 2- 
ovuled; style exserted, stigma dilated 5-3-lobed. .Drwpe small; pyrenes 
5-2, 1-seeded.—Species 4, Malayan. 
, G. farinosa, Blume Bijd. 819; leaves broadly oblong acuminate 
minutely toothed stellate-tomentose beneath, flowers 5-merous. Callicarpa 
pentandra, Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. 395; Wall. Cat. 1835; Schauer in DC. Prodr.

SINGAPORE; Wallich.—DisTRIB. Malaya. 
A lofty tree. Leaves 8 by 3 in., base cuneate or rounded, mature glabrate above; 
petiole 1 in. Peduncles 1-2 in.; cymes 2-3 in. diam., densely stellate-tomentose. 
Corolla } in., lilac, occasionally 6-merous, fide Teijs. & Binnend. Drupe 3 in. diam.— 
Resembling the arborescent Callicarpas; readily distinguished by the mixture of 
both opposite and alternate leaves, and by the 5-merous flowers. C. hexandra, Teijs. 
& Binn. l. e, is C. Cumingiana, Schauer l. c. 644, or very nearly so, and perhaps 
neither is distinct from Geunsia farinosa; but Cuming's n. 1773, reduced to G. 
Jarinosa by Schauer, is probably, as stated in Gen. Pl. 2, p. 1150, a good species. 
IX. CALLICARPA, Linz. 
Shrubs or trees; innovations stellately hairy. Leaves opposite, rarely 
ternately, whorled toothed or subentire (in C. lobata lobed). Cymes axillary; 
shorter than the leaves; bracts linear, inconspicuous, Calyx very smal 
(less than $ in.), campanulate, limb minutely 4-lobed, unaltered in fruit. 
Corolla small (about 1 in.), tubular, subsymmetric, purple or red; lobes 4, 
subquadrate-oblong, patent. Stamens 4; anthers exserted, 2-celled, glan- 
dular. Ovary imperfectly 2-celled, cells 2-ovuled; style linear, stigma 
dilated obscurely bifid. rupe small (less than } in.), globose; pyrenes 4, 
or by suppression fewer, l.seeded. Seeds shortly obloug, exalbuminous.—
