This most resembles a small P. plectranthoides, the bracts imbricating over the 
flowers in the young spikes, but spikes and narrower bracts are much smaller, and the 
whole plant when pubescent is never hoary. In its usual glabrous form it is a very 
distinct plant. The leaves vary much in shape and cutting of the margin, and attain 
9 inches in length, and are sometimes velvety beneath. ‘The stem and branches are 
usually dark purple, but not constantly. Calyx 2 in. long, narrow, usually purplish. 
—It is difficult to distinguish some states of this from P. Heyneanus. Bentham says 
that his var. Jacquemontii is almost intermediate between P. parviflorus and glaber ; 
it has more glabrous leaves and villous spikes. 
7. P. glaber, Benth. in Wall. Pl. As. Rar. i. 31, Lab. 154, and in 
DC. Prodr. xii. 152 ; erect, branched, glabrous or sparsely hairy, leaves long- 
petioled ovate or ovate-lanceolate acuminate doubly-toothed or -serrate, 
whorls small subglobose dense-fld. continuous in slender ciliate spikes, bracts 
ovate much shorter than the very small calyx, calyx-teeth triangular 
shortly ciliate. Wall. Cat. 1533.

Kuasra Mrs., alt. 4000 ft. ; Griffith, J. D. H. & T. T. 
Habit of P. parviflorus, but spikes more slender, bracts smaller, and calyx only 
hin. long, obovoid, with shortly ciliate teeth. Stem and branches green or purple, 
sometimes very dark. 
tt Whorls usually separate, forming interrupted spikes (except P. Pat- 
chouli, var. suavis). 
8. P. tuberculosus, Benth. in Wall. Pl. As. Rar.i. 31, Lab. 151, and 
in DC. Prodr. xii. 152; stout, erect, branched, scabrid with stellate hairs, 
leaves long-petioled ovate or deltoid-ovate acuminate doubly toothed, base 
cuneate, whorls small subglobose many-fld. distant or separate on the long 
Slender panicled spikes, bracts scabrid oblong shorter than the small scabri 
obovoid calyx, calyx-teeth short triangular ciliate.
