Besides the rather commun Artanema sesamoides Bth 

 a second well-characterized species of this genus occurs in Java. 

 The two species ma}^ be distinguished as follows : 



G lavis sptderum. 



Planta 50—100 cM alta. Folia lanceolata, basi latâ sessilia, 

 argute serratula. Pedicelli suberecti, calyce breviores vel subae- 

 quantes. Calj^x 8 — 10 mM longus, corolla 20 — 25 mM longa, 

 violacea. Capsula 7—8 mM longa. 



Artanema §e«iamoi<le$ Bth. 



Planta 15 — 50 cM alta. Folia oblonga vel ovato-oblonga, 

 basi cuneatim attenuata, petiolata vel superiora siibsessilia, gros- 

 siiiscLile serrato-dentata, pedicelli patentes, calyce multo longiores. 

 Calyx + ^ 1^^^ longus, corolla + 10 mM longa, viridoalba, 

 labio antico violaceonotato. Capsula + 4 mM longa. 



Artanema liantameiiNe Backer. 



Artanema hantamen^e Backer. 



Diagnosis: Artanema pedicellis patentibus, cal3^ce multo 

 longioribus, corolla pro génère parva, virido-alba, capsula parva, 

 foliis oblongis vel ovato-oblongis, basi cuneatim attenuatis, distincte 

 petiolatis vel supeiiora subsessilibus.

Racemi terminales et ramos axillares paucifoliatos terminantes, 

 5 — 25 cM longi, multiflori, bracteis minutis, pedicellis oppositis 

 vel apicem racemi versus alterni, patentibus, 10 — 20 mM longis, 

 calyce multo longioribus, breviter pubescentibus. Calycis fi mM 

 longi, pubescentis, usque fere ad basin 5-partiti laciniae lineari- 

 oblongae, acutiusculae, basi imbricatae. C^ro^/ae ext us gland uloso-
