uscule petiolatis, supremis (floralibus) viscoso-glandulosis, floribus in 
foliorum superiorum axillis solitariis vel geminis sessilibus, capsula 
_ Octosperma. 
Folia cum petiolo (8 lin.) 2 poll. longa, 1 poll. lata. Calyx glandu- 
loso-pubescens, ebracteatus, 3-31 lin. longus, ad medium 5-fidus, 
laciniis lineari-subulatis, superiore longiore. Corolla 8 lin. longa, laci- 
niis rotundatis. Stamina 4: filamenta in canalem decurrentem, apice 
utrinque barbatum, stylum includentem, conniventia, ut i» genere En- 
dopogone ; antherze biloculares, loculi glabri, basi aenti.— Crescit raro 
in Concano septentrionali sub arboribus ; f. temp. frigido. 
This, and the R. elegans, Bot. Mag., 3389, (which has by some mis- 
take been considered by N. ab Esenbeck as identical with his Hemi- 
graphis, but which is certainly a Ruellia,) are the only two species I 
have ever met with in this part of the peninsula. "The capsule is 4 
lines long ; the seeds appear glabrous, but, when moistened with water, 
the closely-adpressed hairs with which they are covered rise up, in- 
stantly bristling in all directions. These hairs are simple, transparent 
tubes, with a simple spiral fibre throughout their length, like those 
mentioned by Kippist in vol. xix. of the Linn. Trans. 
HyrcsrEs. 
H. lanata; suffruticosa, caule glabro geniculato adscendente, foliis 
lanceolatis acuminatis integris supra parce hispidulis subtus glabris.

chotomo-spicata lanato-tomentosa, capitulis uni- bi- vel trifloris

apice ramuli brevis ternis capitato-congestis, involucro communi 
diphyllo foliolis linearibus subzequalibus oppositis planis ima basi 
connatis glanduloso-pubescentibus calyce duplo longioribus, in- 
voluero partiali (sub quoque calyce) diphyllo, foliolis subulatis calyce 
paulo longioribus. 
Folia breve petiolata, 4—5 poll. longa, 2-2} lata. Calyz 3 lin. longus, 
5-fidus vel (laciniis duobus superioribus altius conjunctis vel in — 
unum coalitis) 4-fidus: laciniis subulatis, uninervibus. ; Corolla e 
resupinata, pollicaris, extus pubescens : labium superius ligulatum, ee 
obtusum, inferius oblongum, basi purpureo-maculatum, apice trilobum, | -

Capituli flores 1-2, semper abortivi.—Crescit raro in sylvis umbrosis — 
Concanensibus ; fl. temp. frigido.
