ll. H. Grifithianum ; folis lanceolatis acuminatissimis punctis cre- 
berrimis linearibus inszqualibus parallelis obsitis, subtus pilosis, 
bracteis geminatis remotiusculis unifloris, calyce duplo vel triplo bre- 
vioribus, tubo valde exserto, limbi laciniis elongatis linearibus label- 
loque lanceolato bilobo deorsum longe attenuatis. 
Patria. Kasia, Griffith in Herb. Hook. et Lindl. ; 
There is a single specimen of this very remarkable plant in each of the 
two herbariums quoted. The nearest affinity is certainly with the im- 
mediately preceding species (H. Gomezianum), of which I can imagine 
it possible that it may hereafter prove only a variety. Can a mistake 
have occurred in regard to the label, and that Kasia was written in- 
stead of Mirgui? The crowded. longitudinal, unequal, parallel glan- 
dular lines on the leaves, especially on the upper surface, are visible 
even to the naked eye. On the lower surface there is a number of long 
grey, easily soluble hairs, which are decumbent, and deceptively accrete 
within their base. Further, the very long calyx and still longer tube, 
and the exceedingly slender divisions of the limb, all dotted with glo- 
bular glands, seem to point at a decided specific distinction.
