latis; foliolis oblongis truncatis mucronatis, basi cuneatis, margine integris, sinuatis, 
supra scaberulis, subtus pallidioribus, pubescentibus, nervo medio venisque primariis 
conspicuis; lateralibus breviter, centrali longiuscule petiolulatis ; pedunculis axil-

Hab. Milanji, 6000 ft., No. 188; Zomba. 
In general appearance this much resembles Y. madiensis, Oliver, of which it may 
possibly be a variety, especially in the inflorescence. It differs in the number and shape 
of the leaflets, which are quite entire, and is less hairy in all its parts.

Hab. Milanji, 6000 ft. No. 46. 
A very distinct species, allied to P. cylindraceus, Hochst. Stems upright, 2 feet 
high, softly woody, giving off small lateral floral branches, and terminating in a panicle 
of 4—7 racemes 3-6 in. long; the central are longest. Verticillasters of the upper branches 
densely crowded together, although not so much so as in P. cylindraceus; those of the 
lower branches more distant. Calyx campanulate, with acuminate teeth, shaggy without, 
with yellow jointed hairs, and exuding, like the bud-scales, corollas, and stamens, bright 
red drops apparently of a resinous nature. Leafy shoots developing later from the lower 
buds of the main stem; leaves immature in specimens seen, tomentose, rugose, crenate, 
roundish or wedge-shaped, 1—1 in. long, sessile or very shortly petiolate. 
PLECTRANTHUS ELEGANS, Britten, sp. n. Caule erecto ; foliis petiolatis, ovatis, crenatis 
acutis, basi euneatis; panicula racemosa, elongata, ramosa; cymis oppositis breviter 
pedunculatis, 2-3-floris; calyce dentibus insequalibus, superiore obtuso ovato, 
ceeteris acuminatis; corolle labio superiore trilobo, lobo centrali truncato, lobis 
lateralibus rotundatis, labio inferiore concavo.

A perennial erect herb (upper portion alone seen); stem furrowed, hairy ; leaves 
shortly petiolate ovate, 1-2 in. long, 1 in. or more broad, tapering to a wedge-shaped 
base, broadly and bluntly crenate, acute, scabrous and dark green above, softly hairy 
and paler beneath, with prominent veins ; panicle narrowly triangular, leafless, racemose,
