XXI. MONECHMA, Hochst. 
Bracts inconspicuous (except in M. bracteatum); bracteoles small, 
linear. Calya divided nearly to the base; segments 5 or 4, narrow 
or linear, rarely more than 2 in. long. Corolla small, rarely attaining 
+ in. long, 2-lipped; posticous lip subentire. Stamens 2; one 
anther-cell distinctly below the other, tailed; pollen ellipsoid, 
longitudinally banded, with 2 stopples; one or more rows of tubercles 
on each side of either stopple, frequently very obscure. Ovary with 
1 or 2 ovules in each cell; style shortly 2-lobed at the tip or sub- 
entire. Capsule small, rarely 2 in. long, usually pubescent at the 
top, 2-seeded ; placent# not rising elastically from the base of the 
valves; seeds discoid, quite smooth, often shining and blotched, 
Without tubercles or corrugations, 
Leaves entire, small; flowers axillary, often few scattered, less commonly 
approximated towards the tips of the branches or (in M. bractealum) strobilate. 
The genus, as here understood, differs from Justicia by having ouly 2 (very 
smooth) seeds to the capsule,
