The very long slender spur best distinguishes this species from its 



small-flowered, opposite-leaved allies, except /. diversifolia, which has 



sessile leaves, and the following.

 petiolatis setoso-stipulatis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis obscure serratis

 gracilibus, sepahs majusculis oblique ovatis, calcare elongato filiformi 

 gracillimo incurvo. 



Hab. Mont. Malabar ! Herb. Wight. 



Herba 2-pedahs. Folia U-2^'', submembranacea, subtus glauca, basin

 cillimo, 1-1 1". 



The long hairs towards the base of the leaves, at the margin, and at 

 the position of the stipules, together with the rather large purple flower, 

 and very long slender ascending spur, distinguish this from all others of 

 the opposite-leaved 1 -flowered section. I have seen but one specimen 

 in Wight's Herbarium.
