Teling. Konda-jajain. 
This seems an undescribed species, it is perennial, a native 
of the tops of hills, and the middle region of the Circar moun- 
tains, growing amongst the rocks, It flowers during the rainy 
' Season, 
Stems many, erect, with few branches, oot round, from 
‘two to four feet high. Leaves four-fold, rarely three-fold, 
spreading, dhdrt>petioled: linear-lanceolate, serrate, rugose, 
downy, from two to three inches long, and about half an inch 
broad. Spikes terminal, solitary, cylindric, crowded with in- 
numerable, small, rose-coloured flowers. Corol; tube twice 
the length of the calyx, segments reflexed. Filaments much 
longer than the coro], sub-equal, very hairy. 
This plant is very fragrant, not less so than our garden 
mint in Europe; common garden seil is too moist and too 
rich for it, for there it has always soon perished with me.
