For the followmg Synoptical Account of the Indian Labiata-, enumerated in my Catalogue of dried specimens I am 

 mdebted to my esteemed friend Mr. George Bentham. to whom I am under very great obligations, both for this 

 important addition to my work, and for the valuable assistance he has afforded me in my labours connected with the 

 herbaria under my charge.
