1253. (7) H. verticillaris (Wall.?:) glabrous: leaves (upper ones) linear- 
lanceolate, opposite or with a few of the uppermost ones verticillate: sti- 
pules (to the opposite leaves) lanceolate, with a few bristle-shaped teeth 
along the margin, especially near the point: flowers sessile, capitate and ter- 
minal, or verticillate in the axils of the verticillated leaves; heads, when in 
the axils of the opposite leaves, peduncled: calyx-segments long, linear- 
lanceolate, longer than the tube of the corolla: corolla widely infundibuli- 
form, hairy in the throat and along the base of the lobes: stamens much ex- 
serted : style short; stigma of two thickish segments.—Wall.? L. n. 6188; 
Wight! cat. n. 1367. 
Dr Wallich mentions that his H. verticillaris was sent him by Dr Wight as 
a species of Coccocypselum : the specimen now before us, (a solitary and very 
imperfect one, and which we have faithfully described above), bears however 
no such corresponding name, and hence have arisen our doubts about the 
synonym: similar specimens, however, to ours were sent to Dr Wallich, and 
we do not see any other name in his List under which they can have been 
introduced. 
Secr. 2. Calyx-limb 4-partite or 4-toothed: segments or teeth when in fruit 
erect or recurved, distant and with the sinus wide. Corolla narrow-in- 
fundibuliform or short-tubular, glabrous or slightly hairy on the inside : 
segments ovate, shorter than the tube. Filaments exserted or very 
short : anthers oblong-linear, exserted. Ovary pubescent or glabrous on 
the apex. Style glabrous. Capsule dry, crustaceous or somewhat co- 
riaceous, more or less compressed, with the apex protruded beyond the 
calyx, more or less emarginate, splitting transversely to the dissepiment. 
Seeds few (1-8) in each cell, black, thin, scrobieulate (dotted as on a 
thimble).—Ascending or diffuse herbaceous or suffrutescent plants, ge- 
nerally turning blackish by drying, usually more or less hairy ; all or 
some of the hairs often thick, soft, flat, and as if jointed. Stipules 
usually divided into several bristle-like but not rigid segments. In- 
florescence usually lax, 1-3 or many-flowered, exterminal or axillary.— 
Anotis, DC. 
This group is principally distinguished by its few-seeded capsules. We are un- 
certain fallof De Candolle’s mm Anotis — it or not, but some of his spe- 
cies certainly do. To our first subsection we are disposed to refer Anotis n ; 
‘De Candolle, although with solitary axillary flowers ; and also H. caly linis 3 
L. n. 878, from its resemblance to H. Rheedei : to the second appear to belong i 
ingrata, Wall. L. n. 863, H. stipulata, Br. in Wall. ! L. n. 6195, and Arise Ti 
species in Dr Hooker's herbarium (H. Lindleyana, Hook.) with the Sor : T

at the specimens of all of these, which we have seen, are much too impe r 
mit of us ascertaining their affinities with any degree of precision:
