128 Vermischte neue Diagnosen. 



Spicis subglobosis. in axillis (fere omnibus) quasi -sessilibus, foliis 

 floralibus spathulato-orbiculatis intermixtis; spica terminali (imo in fructu) 

 ovoidea; corolla vix 1 cm longa: St. glaucae 0. Kuntze var. spathulatae 

 arcte affinis. Annua, 10 — 18 cm alta. Folia-lamina usque ad 7 cm longa 

 spathulato-elliptica, obtusa; petiolus 5—12 mm longus. Capita in pedun- 

 culis — 2 mm longis. admodum pilosa, 10 — 14 mm in diam.; folia floralia 

 8—9 mm longa. Sepala linearia vix 5 mm longa. Corollae tubus rectus. 

 Capsula 5 mm longa. 



This new species comes next to Staurogyne glauca 0. Kuntze var. 

 spathulata, i. e. Ebermaiera spathulata Hassk. It differs in the spathulate- 

 orbicular floral leaves; and greatly in the very axillary inflorescence. 

 In Hasskarl's E. spathulata the terminal spike is linear elongate in fruit 

 (C. B. Clarke). 



Ober-Siam: Near Tapotsah; open places in woods (no. 9, 10. 11. 25). 



33. Strobilanthes siamensis C. B. Clarke, 1. c. p. 716. - - (Acanthaceae.) 

 Foliis inaequalibus, majore usque ad 15 cm longis 7 cm latis, basi 



paullo spathulatis. interdum auriculatis, in margine subintegris, in facie 

 inferiore albescentibus fere glabratis: corolla 17 mm longa, gracili: cetero- 

 quin fere ut Str. auricdatus Nees: spicae in pedunculis axillaribus termi- 

 nales strobilatae, 5 — 6 cm longae, 12 mm latae; bracteae 11 mm longae, 

 obovatae, obtusae, in margine snperiore longe ciliatae; prophylla 0. Se- 

 pala 8 mm longa, linearia, pilosa. Pilamenta glabra; antherae loculi 

 breviter, ellipsoidei; polten 55« longum, 40 ^ latum, longitudinaliter 16- 

 striatum. Pistillum glabrum. 



It differs from Str. auriculatus Nees (and its numerous allies) firstly 

 by the much smaller flowers: secondly by the leaves which are whitened 

 subglabrate beneath (C. B. Clarke). 



Ober-Siam: Along the river from Long Isom to Nong Boa (no. 55); 

 shaddy places. 



34. Fimbristylis fuscoides (C. B. Clarke ms. [1888] in hb. Kew) C. H. 

 Ostenfeld in Bull. Herb. Boiss. 2. ser., V (1905), p. 719. - ■ (Cyperaceae.) 



Culmo foliisque setaceis; panicula composita: spiculis 6 — 12, solitariis, 

 paucifloris; glumis isect. Abildgaardiae) subdistichis: stylo longo, trifido, 

 basi parva triquetra, pilosula. a nuce mox caduca, a villis brevibus pen- 

 dentibus (more PogonostyUdis i. e. Fimbristylidis squarrosae Vahl) ornata. 



I. fascae Benth. afflnis. ob teneritatem imprimis diversa. — Culmi 

 1 — 2 dm longi. Folia 1 dm longa. Spiculae 8 mm longae, 2 mm latae, 

 brunneae; rhachilla proventu elongata persistens glumis a basi sensim 

 caducae. 



Born eo: Barber no. 356. Labuan: Ridley no. 9042. Cochinchina: 

 Leboeuf no. 891. [Siam: Raheng, near Tapotsah (no. 205) Lindhard.] 



The Raheng material you have sent rae has no flower or mit; I 

 cannot be sure therefore that it is Fimbr. fuscoides (C. B. Clarke).
