Garden in 1908, was accompanied by the remark that it is 
the true Eranthemum malaccense, Clarke, a species which 
appears to be confined to the Malayan Peninsula, where it 
extends from Langkawi in Kedah southwards to Johor. 
The plant is, as Mr. Ridley indicates, E. malaccense; the 
identification is important because, in a valuable annotated 
list of cultivated Acanthaceae by Col. R. H. Beddome, 
published in the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society 
in 1908, E. malaccense, Clarke, has been treated as identical 
with E. graciliflorum, Nees. Some doubt has arisen as to 
the precise limitation of LE. malaccense, and more than one 
species has been included under that name, but, for reasons 
which have been discussed in a recent number of the Kew 
Bulletin (1911, p. 79), and need not be detailed here, 
Dr. Stapf has found himself unable to adopt the view that 
the true E. malaccense, here figured, is undoubtedly refer- 
able to £. graciliflorum. Our plant, however, is not a 
member of the tribe Ruellizae, and therefore is not an 
Eranthemum ; it belongs to the tribe Justicieae, and is a 
member of the genus Pseuderanthemum, the species of 
which, owing to a misapprehension explained at t. 8239 of 
this work, are still at times supposed to be Eranthemums. 
On this account the name given to this species by Dr. 
Lindau must be adopted; another species, P. seticalyz, 
Stapf, from Tropical Africa, has already been figured at 
t. 8244 of this Magazine. P. malaccense grows freely in 
a stove and forms a bush about 3 feet in height. Like 
many tropical Acanthads it is most satisfactorily cultivated 
when raised annually from cuttings, and requires to be 
liberally treated as regards soil and moisture.
