Glabrous. Stem 6-8 ft., robust, branched. Leaves 2-4 in., acute or acuminate, 
sessile or petioled, margin smooth or crisp, Racemes 3-9 by 14-2} in., leafless 
except at the base. Flowers 4-4 in. long. Sepals lanceolate, acuminate, margins

Western and Centrar Himaraya, alt. 4-7000 ft.; from Nipal to Kashmir.— 
Disrris. Java. 
Glabrous, annual, 1-2 ft. Stem branched from the base. Leaves 1-14 in., acute, 
narrowed into a short petiole. Racemes 6-8 in. in flower, to 18 in. in fruit ; pedicels 
spreading and deeurved in fruit. Flowers 3-4 in. long, white or pale purplish, sweet- 
scented. Sepals lanceolate, margins white, disk with very long glands. Corolla-lobes 
obovate. Filaments eglandular; anthers oblong, exserted. Capsule à in. diam.— 
Lindley (in Bot. Reg.) describes the capsule as bursting irregularly at the base. This 
I have not seen. The dehiscence is irregular, but usually by valves.

Very similar to L. lobelioides, but a much more robust and erect plant, with shorter 
pedicels and smaller petals, and glandular filaments. The capsules burst very 
irregularly. "The amount of glandular dots on the leaves varies exceedingly ; they 
are sometimes confined to the margin. 
tt Stamens shorter than the corolla. 
4. L. obovata, Herb. Ham.; Wall. Cat. 1488 ; erect, slender, simple or 
sparingly branched, leaves obovate spathulate or oblanceolate minutely gland- 
dotted, racemes long lax-fld., pedicels fruiting and flowering A A in., bracts 
subulate, corolla-lobes obovate nearly twice as long as the sepals, L. glau- 
cescens, Wall. mss. 
HixposrAN and Manpur, Herb. Wallich. Birma, Griffith —Disrrim. Java. 
Smaller than any of the preceding species, more or less glaucous. Stem 6-18 in., 
sometimes branched from the base. Leaves 1-3 in., acute or obtuse, usually petioled. 
Racemes 2-8 in. ; bracts about half as long as the pedicels. Corolla-seg ments obovate. 
Filaments short; anthers apiculate. Capsule } in. diam., bursting irregularly.—L. 
candida, Lindl., differs only in the longer stamens, if at all. 
** Flowers in elongate terminal racemes; bracts leafy, longer than the 
pedicels. Stamens shorter than the corolla.
