Hemimeris alsinoides, Lam. Uncycl. iii. 105, III. iii. 84, t. 532, fig. 1, wa3 

 quoted as a synonym of H. montana, Linn, f,, both by Sprengel and by Benthaui, 

 although Lamarck expressed some doubt about the identity of the species of Linn. 

 f. with his own. There is a specimen in Sprengel's herbarium (now at BerUn)^ 

 with the name " Diascia montana" ; this is in fruit and in a poor state of 

 preservation ; it probably represents Lamarck's plant, and belongs to this genus, 

 but whether it is this species is not quite certain, though it apparently is a com- 

 paratively glabrous form of this species; Sieber's specimen, 144, was referred 

 in Sender's herbarium to H. alsinoides. 



2. H. sabulosa (Linn. f. Suppl. 280) ; an erect or prostrate herb, 

 annual, glabrous or very nearly so, 4-18 in. long; stem branched 

 from the base upwards or simple, tetragonous ; branches decussate, 

 patent or ascending, often purplish, leafy ; leaves narrowly ovate, 

 oval or oblong, more or less obtuse at the apex and wedge-shaped at 

 the base, incise-dentate or pinnatifid, more or less spreading, mem- 

 branous, feebly nerved, ^-l\ in. long, ^-f in. broad ; lobes or teeth 

 opposite, obtuse, entire ; petioles channelled above, convex beneath, 

 jg—J ill- long ; uppermost internodes usually very short ; middle 

 internodes usually long, exceeding the leaves; peduncles axillary, 

 slender, furrowed, spreading, often crowded near the apex of the 

 stem and branches, g— If in. long ; calyx-segments ovate and lanceo- 

 late, subobtuse, green, purplish on the margin, the two lower 

 spreading, somewhat broader than the rest, the three upper erect ; 

 corolla about | in. broad, yellow ; upper lip reflexed, middle lobe 

 purple-punctate on both sides, lateral lobes obtuse; lower lip 

 concave, inflexed upwards, pilose ; pouches none in the ordinary 

 sense, that is, there is no elevation on the outer and no depression
