682 CXIL LABIATE. (J. D. Hooker.) [ Leucas. 
SovrH Deccan; Pulney Hills, Wight;  Anamallay and Balarangar Hills, 
Beddome.—DistTris. China. 
Somewhat shrubby, sometimes only hoary. Leaves 1-2} in., membranous or 
coriaceous, upper sessile; petiole 1-3 in. Calyx pedicelled ; bracts setaceous.— 
Calyx of the section .4s/rodon, but the mouth not villous, and the bracts are 
minute. 
Var. lanata ; densely clothed with woolly tomentum, calyx-teeth not awned.— 
Vellyengry Hill, Wight.— As densely clothed as L. lanata. 
7. b. montana, Spreng. Syst. ii. 742; shrubby, all over densely softly 
woolly or tomentose, leaves thick shortly petioled ovate or ovate-rotundate 
obtuse crenate, whorls many-fld., calyx 4-4 in. subcylindric, teeth minute 
erect. Wall. Cat. 2056; Benth. in Wall. Pl. As. Rar. i. 61, Lab. 607, 
and in DC. Prodr. xii. 595. ? L. Hamiltoniana, Benth. ll. c.; Wall. Cat.

Lower branches woody, upper 4-gonous, with deflexed hairs. Leaves 1-2 m., 
velvety; petiole 0-4 in. Calyx subsessile; bracts minute.—I doubt if it is possible 
to determine by descriptions what Roth's Phlomis montana was. In Rottler’s Her- 
barium there is under this name a mixture of several things. I doubt the species 
peing distinct from L. mollissima. L. Hamiltoniana, Benth., is I think referable 
ere.

8. L. mollissima, Wall. Pl. As. Rar. i. 62, and Cat. 2054; slender,

Bentham describes the flower as * white ? but oftener purple." .
