The leaves of this ornamental stove plant generally grow 
four together upon the lower and barren branches ; but on 
the flowering branches are more frequently opposite, as repre- 
sented in our figure. The flowers grow in axillary square 
_ spikes; Braetes three to each flower, outer ones imbricate, 
concave-lanceolate or canoe-shaped, concealing the two smaller 
ones and the calyx. But the great singularity in this plant, 
and which separates it from Brown’s Aphelandra, is the 
_ one-lipped Corolla, five-lobed, that is deeply divided into three 
lobes, and the two lateral lobes again divided half as far. 
Crossandra was first separated from Justicia by Ricnarp 
Sarissury, Esq. in the Paradisus Londinensis. 
Native of the East-Indies. Introduced at the beginning of 
the present century by Dr. Roxsurex. Flowers from June 
Ne _ to January.
