breviter cordate, 2-7 lin. longee, minute setaceo-caudatee. Flos solitarius, terminalis, 
subsessilis. Calyx campanulato-turbinatus ; tubus adpresse hirsutus, 12 lin. 
longus; lobi equilongi, late ovali, obtusiusculi. Corolla alba, late campanulata, 
4 lin. longa, fere ad medium 5-loba, glaberrima; lobi ovati acuti. Stamina 5, in 
imá basi corolle inserta, libera; filamenta nigricantia, 4 lin. longa; anthere 
oblonge exapiculate, longitudinaliter dehiscentes, 4 lin. longe. Capsula hemi- 
spheerica, 2 lin. longa, lobis calycinis paulo auctis coronata. Semina numerosa, 
angulata, + lin. longa. 
On rotting fallen trunks of trees, at the Penokok, alt. 3500 feet (Haviland, 1325). 
In habit very like 4. parvifolium, Benn., but distinguished by the short free stamens, 
and by the much shorter and broader calyx lobes and the glabrous corolla. I suspect 
that some or all species of this interesting genus have dimorphic flowers.

(an herba lignescens ?). Rami stricti, obtuse tetragoni, superne brevissime tomentelli, 
nigrescentes, inferne glabrati, pallescentes. Folia sessilia, oblongo-lanceolata, } poll. 
longa, 14-2 lin. lata, sepe plicata, basi et apice acuta, crassiuscule coriacea, rigida, 
glaberrima, evenia. Stipule triangulares, 1 lin. longs, obtus:e, basi firme, superne 
et in margine albo-membranaces, demum laceræ. — Inflorescentis axillares, capi- 
tatim contracte, pedunculo 1-2 (rarius 4) lin. longo suffulte, plerunque bracteis 
binis foliaceis capitulum subequantibus instructe. Pedicelli subnulli. Caly 
glaberrimus, nigrescens; tubus breviter turbinatus, }-? lin. longus; lobi 4 lineares 
obtusi, 1 lin. longi, crassiusculi, sinu latiusculo distantes. Corolla alba, in fauce et 
in tubo 1-14 lin. longo intus pilosa; lobi 4 ovato-oblongi, «*quilongi, obtusiusculi. 
Stamina exserta; filamenta 2 lin. longa, anthere 3 lin. longee. Stylus 1} lin. longus; 
stigma breviter bilobum. Capsula ad dentes medios protrusa, in coccos binos secedens, 
1 lin. longa; cocci facie fere ad basin atque in vertice loculicide dehiscentes. 
Semina numerosa, angulata, nigra, 3 lin. longa. 
Maripari Spur, alt. 5500 feet (Haviland, 1265). 
Nearest allied to an undescribed species from Manilla in the Philippines (Voy. de la 
Bonite, no. 214?). But in this species the axillary inflorescences are very loose and 
almost 8 in. long, and the top of the capsule does not protrude beyond the calyx-tube. 
There is some affinity with several of the Ceylonese and Western Peninsular species 
which group round H. stylosa, Br., and it is, though remote, perhaps more evident 
than with any other species I know. 
HEDYOTIS PULCHELLA, Stapf, n. sp. ($ Diplophragma). (Pl. XII. B. 4-6.) Rami 
superne obtuse tetragoni, glabri. Folia petiolo 2-3 lin. longo suffulta, elliptica vel 
ovata, 2-23 poll. longa, 1-14 poll. lata, basi acuta, ssepe paulo asymmetrica, apice

olivaceo-viridia, subtus leete viridia, nervis lateralibus utrinque 7-8, inferioribus 5-6 
approximatis, vix 2 lin. inter se distantibus, cæteris remotis. Stipule ovato-tri- 
angulares, 3 lin. longze, laciniis angustissime linearibus hirtellis fimbriate, albo- 
striolats. Inflorescentize axillares, corymboso-paniculate, laxæ, graciles, pedunculo
