This differs from TL. ceylanica in the diffuse habit and amall leaves. „Tt has peen 
mixed in Wallich’s Herbarium with Z. nutans and L. dim iata, Benth. (P of 
Sprengel), which is the same as L. aspera. From the latter the etn amos entro 
leaves, smaller fewer-fld. whorls, and much shorter calyx with a w 
Oblique mouth abundantly distinguish it. yy
