ascendent or erect, trigonal as well as the stem; leaves subsessile, 
ovate or subcordate, the lower rotundate, dentate, teeth mucronulate ; 
pedicels slender, 2-3 times longer than the leaves, bibracteolate at the 
base; calyx-tube obconical, lobes linear, acuminate, equalling the tube; 
corolla glabrous, somewhat longer than the calyx-lobes; anthers all 
bearded at the apex; capsule obovoid. JZ. trigona Roxb, fl. ind. 2, p.

Stem creeping at the base, 4-10 inches, weak. Leaves 3-4 lines long, membra- 
18, obtuse, or acute, serrulate ; the upper or bractez scarcely smaller. Bracteol 
setaceous, minute. Flowers small, blue, Calyx-lobes 14 line long. The specimen 
from the herbarium Lamarck, communicated by Prof. Roeper, agrees exactly with 
those from East India communicated by Wallich and Drs. Hooker and Thomson. 
L. Zeilanica Linn., of which I have seen a specimen in Herb. Thunberg, is the same 
as LZ, afinis Wallich! It is similar to Z. alsinoides, but stronger and different by a 
dense pubescence. 
4 L, spartioides (A. DC. 1.c.p.3 58); stem much-branched, branches 
divaricate, terete, glabrous ; leaves sessile, linear-subulate, carinate, 
ciliate at the base; flowers terminal, racemose ; pedicels and calyx-tube 
woolly; bracteolz subulate ; lobes of calyx lanceolate, acuminate, longer 
than the tube, but shorter than the villous corolla; capsule subturbinate, 
10-costate. Rapuntium spartioides, Presl! in E. & Z.! enum. n. 2462.

Stem shrubby, 2 ft. and more in height, nearly leafless ; branches rugulose-striated.

and calyx. :

leaves, glabrous ; lobes of calyx lanceolate, acuminate, a little longer 
than the turbinate, appressed hairy tube; corolla pubescent; capsule

Racemes forming a terminal panicle. Pedicels 4-5 lines long. Calyx acute at
