636 CXII. LABIATE. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Pogostemon. 
softly tomentose or finely pubescent, leaves shortly petioled orbicular or 
oblong crenate, tip rounded, spikes cylindric dense-fld., whorls crowded or the 
lowest distant, bracts and bracteoles slender, calyx small sessile terete 
villous, teeth subulate-lanceolate ciliate. P. rotundatus, Wight Ic. t. 1441.

The Concan ; Dalzell, Stocks. 
A low-growing plant, very variable in hairiness, branched from the woody base; 
hairs of branches not reflexed. Leaves 1-14 im. Spikes 3-7 in., $ in. diam., flexuous, 
rachis stout. Calyz bin. Corolla white, tube hardly exserted. Filaments bearded 
at the middle.—I do not find the leaves to be acute, as represented by Wight, in any 
of the numerous specimens examined. 
18. P. rotundatus, Benth. in Wall. Pl. As. Rar.i. 31, Lab. 155, 
and in DC. Prodr. xii. 155; low, villous, leaves orbicular doubly crenate, base 
rounded truncate or cordate, spikes stout dense-fld., whorls distinct but close 
many-fld., bracts and bracteoles linear-subulate, calyx large angled villous, 
teeth triangular-lanceolate ciliate. Wall. Cat. 1535.

Stem short, ascending, hairs not reflexed. Leaves 1-23 in. long and broad, lax M 
hairy on both surfaces; petiole 1 in. and less. Spikes 3-5 in., jin. diam., rachis 
stout. Calyx sessile, tin. long. Corolla-tube hardly exceeding the calyx. Filamen : 
bearded.— Only known from specimens distributed by Wallich. In foliage it much 
resembles the P. Patchouli figured in the Kew Journal of Botany, but the calyx 1s muc 
larger, with broader teeth and the corolla-tube shorter, and there is no appearance of 
a paniculate form of inflorescence.
