densely pilose and adhering beneath to the petiole. Bracts 
linear, 2, alternate on each peduncle. Calyx 5-parted, hairy, 
reddish, lacini: erect, linear, acute, the upper one smaller. 
Corolla white, tinged with purple externally, much longer 
than the calyx, infundibuliform; tube somewhat gibbous at 
the base, incurved, expanding above; limb bilabiate; upper 
lip 2-lobed; lower 3-lobed, larger, internally streaked with 
yellow, all the segments roundish, obtuse, not very unequal. 
Stamens inserted within the tube, 2 fertile, with the rudiments 
of 2 abortive ones, the former scarcely so long as the corolla, 
conniving at their summits. Anthers composed of two divari- 
cating, transverse lobes. Ovarium linear, surrounded at the 
base with a white, tubular, entire nectarial ring or cup, and 
produced into a tomentose style of the same length as the 
stamens. Stigma obtuse, truncate. Capsule long, linear, 
silique-shaped, cylindrical, acute, somewhat tomentose, an 
inch long, 2-valved, 2-celled; dissepiments contrary, with 2 
lobes which are parallel to the valves, revolute, and seed- 
bearing at their margins, and which part the cells in such a 
manner, as to give the appearance of a 4-celled siliqua. 
Seeds numerous, naked, small, and subrotund. 
Oss. The deep red colour of the lower surface of the 
leaves, and the crested disposition of the flowers in their 
axils, render this a very remarkable species. The estivation 
is imbricate, the two lateral lobes of the lower lip being the 
outermost. The genus is nearly related to Jncarvillea, but 
differs in having simple naked seeds.

Prostrata, reptans, foliis ellipticis crenulatis, pedunculis 1-3-

Timmi. Kichil. Malay—lIn the forests of Pulo Penang, 
with the preceding.—Stem prostrate, round, villous, striking 
root at every joint, often a foot in length. Leaves lying flat, 
opposite, petiolate, oblong-oval or elliptic, rather obtuse, 
sometimes slightly cordate at the base, slightly crenate, 
covered with white hairs, green above, paler and sometimes 
reddish beneath.  Petioles villous. Peduncles 1-3, axillary,
