Kuasra Mrs., alt. 4—5500 ft., Griffith, &c. . 
An annual bush, 3—4 ft.; branches obscurely 4-angled. Leaves 3-6 in., rather 
rigid, base acute, sometimes deeply toothed or crenate. Spikes 4-10 in., often 
fascicled, flowering 4 in. diam., narrower in fruit; bracts minute. Corolla white, 
pubescent. Fruiting calyz ribbed to the base, with short triangular acute teeth. 
Nutlets narrow.— Bentham cites Don’s Perilla fruticosa, but his description of the 
calyx with linear teeth and corolla with a very large midlobe of the lower lip is 
Wholly at variance. Graham (Cat. Bomb. Pl. 150) gives “ Chibler in the Surat 
collectorate as a habitat," which is very unlikely, and is not taken up in Dalzell and 
Gibson's Bombay Flora.
