To this section should be referred C. africanus from Senegal, 
which is inscribed Ocymun scutellarioides in Vahl's herbarium, and 
also, in another hand-writing, Solenostemon scutellarioides. I have seen 
the same species from that country in other herbaria, and believe it 
to be the same as Ocymum monostachyum of Palisot de Beauvois, as 
well as can be made out from his figures. Blume's Plectranthi, as 
also several new species I possess from Ceylon and from the Indian 
Archipelago, belong to this same section of Coleus.
