Canoe Camp, 150 ft. 
Leaves drying greyish green, paler below ; cystoliths fairly well seen on both sides. 
Corolla pale violet. Longer filaments 5'5 mm., shorter nearly 4 mm. long; anthers 
oblong, 27 mm. long. Pollen of spheroidal grains with scattered short spines or 
rather tubercles. i 
In foliage this is much like species in the neighbourhood of the plant described by 
Baron Mueller as Leptosiphonium Stricklandi; these, however, so far as I have been 
able to ascertain, are true Ruellias. The present plant is easily recognised by its 
Eranthemum-like inflorescence and corollas.
