ghauts, it proceeds far into the interior of India, as I have seen it abundant, though small, 
in the vicinity of the mountain fort of Adjeegurh, in Bundlecund. The teak has been 
introduced as far north as Saharunpore, where it succeeds well, and.has been exten- 
sively planted along the banks of the canals by Major Colvin and Lieut. Cautley. 
Others of the family would also succeed well in every part of India.

Hab. This plant was first discovered by Dr. Hamilton on the banks of the Jumna, and called by 
him Lantana Gochana (v. Wall. Cat. N. 1821. c.) where I myself found it in several places, as well 
as in the neighbourhood of Saharunpore, and have received specimens from the Pinjore valley. Dr. 
Wallich also collected specimens of the same species at Assufghur in Rohilcund. I have no doubt 
that this species is indigenous, and therefore regret that the specific name dubia should have been 
applied to it ; perhaps the name of the discoverer or his original MS. name would be preferable, 
125. LABIATZ. 
The Labiate form so natural an order, as to have induced Jussieu to say 
that the whole might almost be considered one huge genus. They are connected 
by their irregular flowers with several of the preceding, but are distinguished by 
their 4-lobed ovary, and style arising from the base of the ovules. The species are 
distributed over every region of the globe, though they affect temperate rather than 
very hot or very cold countries ; but some are found in all, with the exception only 
of the very coldest. The whole have been subjected to a rigorous investigation by 
Mr. Bentham, in his elaborate and admirable monograph of the Zadiate, consisting of 
1,696 species belonging to 108 genera, of which 25 are common to the Old and New 
Worlds. These are distributed into the eleven tribes of Ocimoidee, Menthoidea, Monar- 
dee, Satureinee, Melissinee, Scutellerinee, Prostranthere, Nepetee, Stachydea, Prasice, 
and Ajugoidee, of all which, except. Prostranthere, there are Indian or Himalayan 
species, 113 being found in the former, and 200 in the latter. The genera which are 
prevalent in the plains, chiefly of southern parts, and nearly peculiar to the country, 
or extending along the Malayan Peninsula to the Indian Archipelago, are Anisochilus, 
Pogostemon, Dysophylla, Colebrookia, Gomphostemma, Cymaria,and Achyrospermum. Those, 
of which species are also found in Africa, are Geniosporum, Acrocephalus, Coleus, 
Leonotis,, Leucas, Moschosma, and Plectranthus ; the two last, with Anisomeles, also 
extend to New Holland. Orthosiphon, with several Indian, has one American species, 
and Ocimum a few species in both Africa and S. America. Of several of these, species 
extend to the most northern parts of India, and a few also ascend the Himalayas, as 
species of Plectranthus and Coleus. Gomphostemma extends to Nepal, as does Dyso- 
phylla pumila, found also as far north as Cashmere by M. Jacquemont. Lavandula, 
of the tribe Ocimoidee, is chiefly found in the south of Europe and north of Africa; 
also in Egypt, Arabia, and Persia; but one species, L. Burmanni, extends to the 
western parts of India (Bombay, Col. Sykes; Deccan, 1M. Jacquemont); whence it was
