made ; and the Koyal Gardens have also received it from 

 the Eev. Mr. Parish of Moulmayne. It need hardly be ob- 

 served that it is a stove plant, a profuse flowerer, and of 

 very pretty appearance.

 the base sparingly branched, pubescent or glabrate, branches 

 4-gonous. Leaves in rather distant pairs, short- or long- 

 petioled, one to three inches long, ovate or rhombic ovate, 

 cuneate or cordate at the base, usually deeply and irregularly 

 crenate-toothed, sometimes almost entire, at others almost 

 lobulate, dark green above, paler beneath. Bacemes simple, 

 slender, five to ten inches long, erect, very many-flowered. 

 Flowers six to ten in a whorl ; bracts small ovate ; pedicels

 middle teeth, and two short broad auricled mucronate lateral
