I doubt this being more than a form of N. mollis with narrow bracts and a longer 
more curved calyx. 
18. N. ciliaris, Benth. in Wall. Pl. As. Rar. i. 64, Lab. 475, and in 
DC. Prodr. xii. 379; tall, erect, branched, softly densely tomentose, leaves 
shortly petioled ovate-cordate obtuse crenate, whorls secund dense-fld. in 
long interrupted villous spikes, upper crowded, bracts lanceolate, calyx } in. 
curved villous, teeth slender shorter than the tube, nutlets broadly ellipsoid.

WESTERN TEMPERATE HIMALAYA, alt. 6-8000 ft.; from Kashmir tò Gurwhal, 
Royle, Jacquemont, Edgeworth. 
Stem 2-3 ft., strict. Leaves 3—1} in., sometimes almost as broad, lower floral 
large. Spikes 4-8 in., pale; whorls sometimes shortly pedicelled. Corolla very 
small, about 4 in., lilac, tube slender.—Very like N. ruderalis, but the inflorescence 
is more simple, the whorls rarely peduncled. Bentham describes the nutlets as 
minutely granular, but I find tħem smooth. Clarke doubts Royle’s habitat of 
“road to Kashmir,” and suspects that the species is confined to the Simla and neigh- 
bouring hills. 
D. Whorls in branched panicles, some or all more or less peduncled. 
* Corolla less than 3 in. long. 
21. N. ruderalis, Hamilt. mss.; annual, erect or ascending, finely 
pubescent or hoary, leaves petioled broadly ovate- or orbicular-cordate 
obtuse crenate, whorls very dense-fld. subglobose in interrupted spikes 
villous, the lower peduncled, calyx 4 in. villous, mouth subequal, 3 upper 
teeth triangular aristate, 2 lower filiform, nutlets obscurely granulate.

TROPICAL and SUBTROPICAL INDIA; from the Indus to Behar, Central India 
and the Concan, ascending the Himalaya to 8000 ft.—Drsrris. Affghanistan. 
Stem 6—18 in., branched from the base, robust or slender, obtusely angled. Leaves 
ł-2} in., green or hoary; petiole 1-3 in. Whorls 4-1 in. diam., unilateral, depresse: ; 
peduncles sometimes 1 in.; flowers pedicelled. Corolla very small, } in., purplish, 
tube shortly exserted. Nudlets j|, in. long, broadly oblong. The granulation consists 
of more or less tumid separated areolæ, and is sometimes very indistinct.— ud inopo- 
dioides, with a calyx less hairy and flowers smaller, is scarcely a variety, foun on, the 
Jumna by Royle. Woodrow sends from Poona a plant resembling N. ru era is in 
habit, but with a large calyx and nutlets like N. bombaiensis (from which the calyx- 
teeth distinguish it),

branched, tomentose or laxly villous, leaves long-petioled rounded ovate- 
cordate coarsely crenate, cymes all axillary few and lax-fld., pegune es

teeth broadly triangular acute much shorter than the tube, 2 lower subulate,
