Western PENINSULA; on the Ghauts from Concan southwards, De Montholon (im

This resembles a good deal a short annual state of 4. Leschenaultiana, but. the 
capsules are subsessile, collected in small clusters, and the crown so protruded in 2 
hemispheric bosses that the calyx-teeth are nearer the pedicel than the top. Corolle 
funnel-shaped, purple. Seeds subglobose, pitted, and with a deep ventral pit.—The 
short, hair-point of the calyx-teeth and bracts is a good character. 
11. A. quadrilocularis, Thw. Enum. 144 ( Hedyotis) ; annual, diffusely

branous slightly hairy on both surfaces, stipules truncate the upper with short 
bristles, cymes very small capitate peduncled and terminal or axillary and sessile,
