6. L. trialata, Ham. in Don Prodr. 157 ; glabrous, stem suberect 
branched, leaves subsessile ovate or elliptic, pedicels mostly equalling the leaves,

Norraern Innia; from Chumba and Bombay to Bhotan and Pegu, alt. 0-5000 Tb. 
very common.—Disrriz. Mts. of Ava, Java, Abyssinia. 
Stems 6-16 in., trigonous, often trialate. Leaves 1-1 in., subrhomboidal, narrowed 
at the base, the lower sometimes petioled, erenate or dentieulate. Corolla % in. 
Capsule 1— in., much narrowed into the pedicel.—This has been much confused with 
L. trigona, Roxb., from which it essentially differs in the seeds; it can be generally 
recognised by the capsules being lanceolate-triangular (nct ovate) at the base. 
Van. lamiifolia ; leaves incise-dentate somewhat petioled.— Decean, Wight.—This 
was marked L. trialata by Wight, and it appears to be a Deccan form of that species; 
but from the deeply incised leaves it looks very different and resembles the allied 
Tropical African species, 
7. L. zeylanica, Linn. Sp. I7. 1323, not of Wall.; stems elongate, 
leaves oblong or narrowly rhomboid narrowed at the base sessile subdecurrent, 
pedicels about as long as the leaves, seeds obtuse scarcely compressed. L.

MALABAR ; from Bombay to Travancore, CEYrow, apparently common. 
Stems weak, usually elongate, 9-15 in., little branched, bialate or somewhat 
trigonous. Leaves ll by } in., dentieulate or erenate. Corolla 3-4 in. Capsule by 
4 in., base not acute.— Linnzus' excellent specimen of this species is named L. zeyla- 
nica by his own hand; but the name has been altered (erroneously) by Sir J. E. 
Smith to L. anceps, an Australian species. The stems, leaves and calyx-teeth are 
glabrous or obscurely ciliate; but in a fine specimen collected by Beddome in Travan- 
core, the leaves glisten with needle-like hairs beneath. A. DC. says that his L. Sebe, 
from Ceylon, is not L. zeylanica, Linn.; but the picture (Seba Thes. t. 22, fig. 12), 
which is the only authority for the species, suits some of the examples of L. zeylanica 
as well as can be expected. 
Van. Walkeri; leaves petioled ovate glabrous.—Ceylon, Walker, Wight.—This 
looks distinct from L. zeylanica, but the flowers and seeds are exactly similar. 
Secr. II. Isolobus. Small herbs. Corolla 2-lipped, lobes nearly equal 
in length. Anthers 5, 2 lower bearded on the apex, 3 upper naked. 
8, I. radicans, Thunb. in Trans. Linn. Soc. ii. 320; procumbent, gla- 
brous, leaves linear- or oblong-lanceolate remotely toothed or subentire, pedicels 
equalling or longer than the leaves. Roxb. Hort. Beng. 16, and Fl. Ind. i. 507 ;
