This species shows an external resetnbhince to T, racemomm^ Benth., under 

 which Sonder has placed Zeyher, 1500. The presence of an apical beard, 

 hoAveverj removes T, Burkei from that affinity. 





80. T. orientale (A. W. Hill in Kew Bulletin, 1915, 36); stems ^ 



few from the apex of a fairly stout woody rhizome, suberect, 

 angular and sulcate, glabrous; branches suberect, sparingly leafy ; 

 leaves linear, acute or subacute, 3-7 lin, long, |-J lin. broad, chick 

 and Heshy, with very finely scabrous cartilaginous margins, mostly 

 with a distinct midrib or more or less keeled on the lower surface, 

 glabrous; flowers few in leafy racemes, solitary in the bracts; 

 bracts adnate to the peduncle, lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, 

 acutely acuminate, longer than the flowers, with distinctly carti- 

 laginous scabrous margins ; bracteoles similar to the bracts but 

 about half as long ; perianth urceolate, with distinct external I 



glands, about 2 lin. long; segments linear-lanceolate, obtuse, l-lg- 

 lin. long, hooded with a dense woolly apical beard ; anthers included, 

 reaching to the top of the perianth-tube, |-^, lin. long; style | hii. 

 long, reaching to nearly the top of the anthers ; fruits ovoid-cllipsoid, 

 3 lin. long, conspicuously 10-ribbed, only very slightly reticulate 

 between the ribs.
