572 CXI. VERBENACEX. (C. D. Clarke.) [ Premna., 
KnasIA Mrs., alt. 3-5000 ft.; Wallich, Griffith (Kew Distrib. n.6023); H. f.4 T. 
&c. TEÉNASSERIM (Kurz). . 
A small tree, 10-30 ft. ; innovations minutely fulvous-villous. Leaves 3 by 1} in, 
obscurely crenate, mature nearly glabrous, nerves 4-5 pair; petiole $ in. Syikes 
2-5 in. ; bracts J in., elliptic, nerved, whitened, deciduous, or much smaller incon- 
spicuous. Calyx jin. usually whitened upwards, glabrate, lobed half-way down 
into 2 rounded lips, or subtruncate and very shallowly lobed. Corolla 4 in, 
greenish-white, mouth subequally 4-lobed, throat very hairy. Ovary nearly glabrous 
at the tip. Drupe à in., mostly 1-seeded, narrowly obovoid. 
2, P. interrupta, Wall. Cat. 1778; leaves subsessile ovate Ka 
obovate very shortly acuminate, spikes simple densely shortly villous, calyx 
puberulous or glabrate. Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 633; Brand. For. Fl 
367. 
TEMPERATE HIMALAYA, frequent, alt. 5-8000 ft., from Kumaon, Strachey 4 
Winterbottom, to Sikkim, J. D. B. . 
A small tree, 10-30 ft., resembling P. racemosa very closely, except in the larger 
subsessile leaves. Leaves, those next the spikes 9 by 4j in., sometimes 6 by 3 nj 
petiole 1-3 in., broadly channelled. Spikes as of P. racemosa, but rather larger; 
bracts j in., whitened, nervose, or inconspicuous. Corolla hairy in the throat. 
Drupe (the few examined) 1-seeded, rather shorter and broader than in P. racemosa. 
—Gamble (Darjeeling List, 61, and Indian Timbers, 293) says that this and the ne 
are large climbers, and it is very probable that they are so sometimes. But, Gamb a 
plants being published with imperfect diagnoses, and some being wrongly identified, 
the information regarding others is doubtful. 
3. P. bracteata, Wall. Cat. 1772; leaves short-petioled elliptic or 
obovate acuminate at both ends, spikes panicled and calyx densely puber; 
lous. P. racemosa, Gamble Darjeeling List, 61 8, not of Wall. Labiata

SUBTROPICAL SIKKIM, alt. 2-3000 ft.; J. D. H., &c. BHOTAN; Griffith (Kew 
Distrib. n. 6022). KnasrA Mrs., alt. 4000 ft. ; Wallich, Griffith, H.f- Y Te, 
A tree, 40 ft.; innovations densely cinereous pubescent. Leaves 9 by 33 m» 
subentire, mature glabrate, nerves 8 pair; petiole 4 in., somewhat winged, or in 
Panicles 7 by 4 in.; bracts } in., broadly lanceolate, acute, or 0; cymes mostly 
distant capitate whorls on the panicle branches. Calyx j, in.; lips entire shallow, iia 
sometimes one minutely 2-toothed, the other still more obscurely 3-toothed. Coro 
Pin, white, as of P. interrupta but smaller, hardly hairy in the throat. Drupé 
not seen. 
tt Cymes in compound corymbs. 
4. P. cordifolia, Roxb. FI. Ind. ii. 78; leaves subcordate-ovate 
acuminate, corymb dense, pedicels very short hairy, corolla 4 in. tube 
cylindric densely hairy nearly to the base. Walp. Rep. iv. 94; Schauer 
in DC. Prodr. xi. 632 partly, not of Wight or Beddome. 
PENANG; Roxburgh. SINGAPORE; Lobb. 
A shrub, 6-8 ft. Leaves 6 by 3 in., subentire, drying red, mature nearly glabrous 
nerves 5-6 pair; petiole 1 in., fulvous-puberulous. Corymb 3-5 in. diam., many-fl s 
bracts à in., lanceolate, acute; branches thick, shortly yellow-hirsute. Calyx yo th , 
scabridly puberulous, 2-lipped; lips broad, rounded. Corolla-tube twice as long as the 
calyx, densely filled with hair within in the lower part; limb 2-lipped. Ovary 
glabrous at the tip. Drupe i in. diam., subglobose, usually 3—4-seeded.— Schauer 8 
diagnosis is taken from Roxburgh ; his description mainly from P. Perrotteti. 
cordifolia, Wall. Cat. 2467, is not in Wallich’s Herbarium; but, as it came from 
Gongachora, it is very unlikely to have been P, cordifolia, Roxb.
