BOTANY OF WESTERN INDIA. 227 . 
teis e basi lata acuminatis, bracteolis calycisque laciniis linearibus 
acutis omnibus #uticis pellucidis subcartilagineis basi glabris apicem 
versus sericeo-villosis. 
Folia 18-20 lin. longa, 3 lin. lata. Bractee dense imbricatæ, brac- 
teolæque semipollicares. ^ Calycis laciniæ majores 53 lin. longs. 
Corolla extus pubescens, alba, intus roseo luteoque punctata, 6—7 
lin. longa.—Crescit in rupibus in jugo Syhadrensi, pepe Phonda- 
ghât ; fl. Nov. 
The habit of this plant is entirely similar to that of Z. cristata, 
Willd., Z. rupestris, N. ab E., and Z. lutea, mihi, but is readily dis- 
tinguished from all three by the bracts and calyces being unfurnished 
with a pungent point, and being quite harmless to the touch. 
Rd BARLERIA. 
B. elata, n. sp. ; fruticosa, caule tereti strigoso ad nodos tumido, foliis 
herbaceis inzequalibus longe petiolatis ellipticis acuminatis subito in 
petiolum attenuatis utrinque pubescentibus, spicis terminalibus et in 
axillis supremis solitariis brevibus patentibus robustis sesquipolli- 
caribus bi-trifloris, floribus secundis brevissime pedicellatis, pedi- 
cellis bracteis lanceolatis foliaceis calycem æquantibus suffultis. 
Calycis laciniæ majores (altera inferior sesquipollicaris, altera 14 poll. 
longa) basi subcuneatæ, apice longe acuminate, extus densissime 
strigosæ, obscure palmatim 17-nerviæ. Corolla 3—34 poll. longa: 
limbus læte cæruleus ; tubus rubro-purpureus ; laciniæ obtusæ, su- 
perior cæteris brevior. Stamina antheris perfectis 4, quorum duo 
multo breviora, cum rudimento quinti. lores sursum spectantes. 
Folia cum petiolo sesquipollieari 6—8 poll. longa, 2-3 poll. lata.— 
Crescit in jugo Syhadrensi, prope Phonda-ghát ; fl. Nov.—Quoad 
inflorescentiam B. dichotome, Roxb. proxima. _ 
Next to B. grandiflora, mihi, this is the largest-flowered species 
which I have met with, in a district rich in Barlerias: it rises to the 
height of six feet, and when in flower has a very showy appearance. 
B. dichotoma, I may remark, is not herbaceous, as stated by N. ab E.: 
it is a true shrub, at least when cultivated—the only state in which it 
is to be seen on this side of India.
