upper. Seeds quite globular, and white before they are 
ripe. The whole plant smells strongly aromatic. 
Our plant was raised by Messrs. Wuirtey, Bramez, and 
Mine from Nepal seeds, and, there is no doubt, is the 
Peritxa ocymoides of Roxpuren, which was brought from 
Nepal to the Calcutta garden, by Dr. Hamurron (late 
Bucuanan). It is.also the same as the specimen preserved 
in the Banxstan Herbarium, from the plant introduced to 
the Kew garden by Mons. Ricuarp, and described by La 
Marck in the Encyclopédie Méthodique, under Menta 
perilloides, but since referred to Pertixa, in the Supple- 
ment, by Mons. Porrer. 
Neither have we any doubt but that our plant is the 
same species which Arpurno has described and figured, 
though it did not show the upper segment of the calyx so 
much shorter than the rest; as appears in his figure, and 
both Roxsures and La Marck, describe the style as single. 
On this account we have attempted to give a new gener 
character, which is at least more applicable to. the only 
plant now known under the name of Peritia ocymoides.
