I see no reason to doubt the determination; but the single specimen is hardly in a state to feel 
sure about. 
Hab. Madi, Dec. 1862, Col. Grant! This species extends eastward through India, 
“ГА bushy plant, 4 inches high. In flower during December at 3° 15! N. lat.—J. А. G.]

by Dr. Anderson.

Hab. Nile, about 2? N. lat. (Ruellia no. 2, App. Speke's Journ. 643), Col. Grant ! 
The * brown hairs ” marking the stem, referred to by Col. Grant, are probably cystoliths imbedded іп 
the epidermallayer; but they are inconspicuous in our specimen. Allied to B. ruelloides, T. Anders., 
of Nigritania. 
- [This shrubby bush was found on the rocky banks of the Nile, and by the side of a stream in Madi 
(during December). Branches jointed, purple, streaked and closely marked with brown hairs. Corolla blue.
