Anisochilus.] CXII. LABIATZ. (J. D. Hooker.) * 629 
NILGHIRI Mrs.; Sisparah, Wight, Gardner; Tinnevelly, Beddome (a drawing). 
Branches (annual from a woody rootstock, Wight) as thick as a swan's quill, 
covered with broad scars, spreading, tomentose above. Leaves towards the ends of 
the branches, 13-2 in. long; petiole and midrib very stout. Spikes 11-2 in., stout, 
peduncles usually longer, rarely with 2 spikes, rusty brown when dry.—The Ceylon 
plant referred to this by Thwaites seems quite different (see end of genus). 
9. A. sericeus, Benth. in DC. Prodr. xii. 82; erect, densely silkily 
tomentose, leaves densely crowded sessile linear-oblong obtuse subcrenate or 
entire, nerves stout parallel, spikes in terminal panicles, bracts much longer 
than the flowers. 
DECCAN PENINSULA; Courtallum, Wight. 
Stem stout, simple, 1-2 ft., densely leafy. Leaves 13-21 in., rather thick, imbri- 
cating, narrowed at the very base. Spikes 1-2 in., shortly peduncled ; bracts ovate 
acute, 4 in. long, imbricating over the young flowers.—The material from which 
Bentham described this consists of two very imperfect specimens of the true plant, 
along with one of .4. dysophylloides. Wight’s later specimens are in full leaf, but 
very young flower. 
10. A. robustus, Hook. f.; suffruticose, very robust, densely tomen- 
tose, leaves very large stoutly petioled ovate crenulate thick reticulate above, 
spikes slender in terminal panicles with a stout woolly rachis and short 
peduncles, fruiting calyx ventricose, upper lip truncate recurved, lower 
very short. 
DECCAN PENINSULA; Courtallum, Wight. . 
Stem as thick as the little finger, densely woolly. Leaves 4-6 by 2-3} in., obtuse, 
most densely woolly beneath, nerves diverging, base rounded ; petiole 1-2 in., woolly. 
Panicle of spikes 10 in.; rachis woolly. Spikes 2-3 in., slender, fruiting only seen. 
Fruiting calyx } in., hoary ; upper calyx-lip contracted at the truncate tip. Nutlets 
oblong.—A very singular species. 
_ ll A. verticillatus, Hook. f.; silkily villous, stem stout erect 
simple, leaves mostly whorled sessile narrowly lanceolate obtuse or acute 
crenulate or entire, spike large solitary terminal, bracts large lanceolate, 
fruiting calyx shortly cylindric, lips very short truncate. 
B The Concan; Cheetah Hills, at Purwar Ghat, Ritchie, Dalzell, &c. ; Golconda, 
eddome. . 
Stem 11-31 ft., channelled when dry. eaves 4-6 ina whorl, 2-3 in., spreading 
and recurved, upper smaller rarely alternate. Spike 2-7 in., peduncled; bracts very 
variable, sometimes 4 in. Corolla à in. long, pubescent, very pale blue. Fruiting 
calyx à in, long, pubescent, mouth transverse, small. 
*** Fruiting calyx with the upper lip forming a narrow 3-toothed galeate 
beak decurved closing the mouth ; lower very short. 
12. A. pallidus, Wall. Pl. As. Rar. ii. 18, and Cat. 2754; stem tall, 
branched, puberulous, leaves long-petioled ovate-lanceolate acuminate mem- 
ranous toothed, spikes panicled long-peduncled, flowering narrowed u war J 5, 
ruiting-calyx tomentose, midlobe of upper lip subulate. Benth. Lab. 60, 
and in DC. Prodr. xii. 82. 
p SIKKIM HIMALAYA, alt. 1-5000 ft.; J. D. H, Clarke. Burma; Taong-dong, 
allich; Patkoye Mts., Griffith ; Prome Hills, Benson. . . 
Annual, 2-3 tt. Leaves Lit in; petiole 1-2 in., very slender. Spikes 11 3 i 
subtomentose, shorter than their peduncles; fruiting cylindric, much t id ened. 
Corolla blueish, tube slender ; upper lip inflated, minutely toothed; lower longer, 
Near, obtuse. Fruiting calyx à in. long, like a cat’s claw.
