J. pulegioides ; capsule not seen. J. protracta, T. Anders. in Journ. 
Linn. Soe. vii. 41 partly. Gendarussa mollis, Hochst, in Flora, 
1845, 71. (Not Justicia mollis, 2. Meyer in Drege, Zwei 
Pflanzengeogr. Documente, 92, 196). 
Var. 8, florida (C. B. Clarke) ; branches long, repeatedly divided ; flowers in 
the upper axils numerous; the floral leaves (or bracts) much reduced in size. 
Eastern Reaion: Natal; in grassy flats between the Umlazi River and 
Durban Bay, Krauss, 61! Inanda, Wood, 423! and without precise locality, 
Gerrard, 1272! Var. 8: Inanda, Wood, 566! 
Justicia mollis, E. Meyer, is carried to Monechma ; to avoid confusion Krauss’ 
n. 61 is given here a new specific name, The series of plants included by T. 
Anderson under J, protracta consists of closely-nllied plants; the present J. 
Krausii, with its variety, is exceedingly near J. filifolia, Lindau, and its allies in 
Mozambique, 
17. J. rotundifolia (E. Meyer in Drége, Zwei Pflanzengeogr. 
Documente, 154, 196); branches 9 in. long, weak, slightly pubescent ; 
internodes up to 13 in. long; leaves 2 by 2 in., ovate, obtuse, thin, 
pubescent, ultimately glabrate ; petiole 0-2 in. long; flowers few, 
remotely scattered, solitary or 2 together, axillary ; calyx-segments 
scarcely 4 in. long, linear; corollanearly } in, long; one anther-cell 
below the other, tailed; pistil glabrate, except for a few minute hairs 
in the lower part of the style ; capsule unknown. TZ. Anders. in

Prod. xi. 391. 
Eastern Region: Pondoland or Natal; between Umtentu River and Umzim- 
kulu River, under 500 ft., Dréye! 
Only one fragment was seen by Nees and T. Anderson. It differs from 
J. pulegioides, EB. Meyer, in the weak stems and very thin leaves, 
18. J. orchioides (Linn. f. Suppl. 85); a rugged undershrub, 
8-24 in. high; branches many, nearly all alternate, woody, often 
¢ in. in diam., glabrous or obscurely puberulous at the tips; leaves 
s-z in. long, subsessile, oblong elliptic or ovate, puberulous or 
glabrate, tip obtuse or acute, base narrowed-ovate or truncate ; 
pedicels 0-1 in, long, few, scattered ; bracteoles shorter than the 
ealyx and distant from it in the wild plant; calyx scareely 3 in. 
long ; lobes lanceolate with white margins, neatly glabrous not 
glandular (in Bolus, 672, the calyx is minutely hairy, but scarcely 
glandular); corolla 1—} in. long, white, hairy outside ; lower anther- 
cell half-way below the other, with a Jong clavate tail; pollen 
ellipsoid, with 2 stopples, longitudinally 6—8-ribbed, hardly banded, 
Without tubercles ; ovary glabrous; style thinly hairy in the lower 
half; capsule 2 in. long, normally 4-sseded; seeds tuberculate-
