obseurely pubescent, green with pink marks, a green gland on each side the central 
lobe at its base. Two lower filaments hairy. Capsule } by 4 in., base acute. Seeds

differs in nowise from that of the section Holopogon, in which Benth. (in Gen, PI. ii. 
553) appears to include this species.

2-12 in. Flowers in terminal racemes, the upper leaves reduced bracteiform, 
Anthers 5, 2 lower usually bearded, 3 upper usually naked.

Erect, 1-3 ft., nearly glabrous. Radical leaves elliptic, petioled, pilose above at 
least when young; cauline 4-5 by 1 in., narrowed at base, gland-crenulate, glabrous 
or nearly so. Peduncles } in. nearly glabrous. Calyæ-teeth sublinear, minutely 
gland-toothed, sometimes j in., sometimes even shorter than in the next species. 
Corolla 2 in., purple, sometimes white. Anthers sparsely pilose on the backs, 2 lower 
bearded at the tips. Capsule } in., subglobose, glabrous, Seeds ellipsoid, compressed, 
not margined, 
10. L. erecta, H. f. § T. in Journ, Linn. Soc, ii. 28; stem simple above, 
leaves elliptic or oblong narrowed at both ends pubescent beneath on the 
nerves, raceme somewhat rigid, rhachis with many deflexed white hairs.

Stem 1-8 ft, always simple, somewhat rigid. Leaves 4 by 1} in., subpetioled, 
obscurely erenate-toothed, Peduncles 4 in., hairy. Calyx-teeth 4 in., linear-lanceolate, 
minutely gland-toothed. Corolla }—} in., purple. Anthers obscurely pilose on the 
backs, 2 lower bearded at the tips. Capsule 4 in., subglobose, pilose or finally gla- 
brescent, Seeds ellipsoid, compressed, not margined.—Closely allied to L. colorata.

Misumi Mrs. ; at Premsong's, Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3446). 
Inflorescence (the only part seen) 15 in., much panieulately branched, branches 
long-raeemed with capsules. Leaves (of inflorescence alone seen) 1 by 1-3 in., ob- 
securely erenate-dentate (the lower were doubtless much larger). Peduncles } in., 
hairy. ` Calyz-teeth. }-} in., linear-lanceolate, minutely gland-toothed. Corolla 
purple-red (Griffith). Capsule } in., subglobose, hairy. Seeds ellipsoid, somewhat 
compressed, minute, not margined.—The material is imperfect, but evidently repre- 
sents a new species. 
12. L. pyramidalis, Wall. in As. Research. xiii. 376; stem widely
