(t. 3754), and A. cornigera (t. 3848), each of which is 
easily distinguished from A. integerrima by being pubes- 
cent, and by having more or less distinctly toothed leaves. 
Perhaps the finest species of all, judging from dried 
specimens, is A. tomentosa, Moric., a densely pubescent 
plant having large flowers in racemes nearly a foot long. 
It does not appear to be common, as the Kew Herbarium 
contains only two specimens. Its cultivation has evidently 
never been attempted. 
The plant which furnished the specimen here figured 
was purchased from a continental nursery in 1903, and it 
flowered during the autumn in a greenhouse. 
Descr.—Herb or undershrub one and a half to three 
feet high, glabrous. Stems erect, straight, robust, simple, 
or sparingly branched, more or less conspicuously quad- 
rangular; internodes one to two inches long. Leaves 
opposite and decussate, subopposite or subverticillate, 
sessile or very shortly stalked, leathery, lanceolate, or 
oblong-lanceolate, one and a half to four inches long, four 
to nine lines broad, scarcely acute, narrowed towards the 
base, entire or obscurely few-toothed, margin revolute, at 
least when dry, midrib impressed above, elevated below. 
Racemes terminal, four to six inches, rarely up to nine 
inches long, rather lax, bracteate. Flowers nodding ; 
pedicels solitary, geminate, or sometimes fascicled, slender, 
three and a half to six lines long. Calyz five-partite ; 
segments ovate, one and a half to two lines long, about 
one line and a quarter broad, acute, membranous on the 
margin, obscurely ciliolate. Corolla about seven lines across, 
pale mauve or lilac, spotted with purple, broadly saccate in 
front ; lobes of the limb short, rounded, spreading ; appen- 
dage of the throat short, obtuse, laterally compressed. 
Stamens four, included; filaments rather thick, minutely 
glandular-pubescent ; anthers free; cells divaricate. Style 
included, slightly curved, minutely glandular-pubescent, 
narrowed above. Capsule ovoid, six to eight lines long, 
four to four and a half lines broad at the base, acute, 
deeply two-valved. Seeds numerous, small, obovoid ; 
integument loosely reticulate.—S. A. Sxan.
