140 D1ANDRIA iMONOGYNIA. Gratiold, 



lanceolate, the lower pair of the racemes dentate. Calyx 

 parted half way. Corol, upper lip small, incumbent. Cap- 

 sules lanceolate, twice the length of the calyx. 



12. G. reptans. R. 



Annual, creeping-. Leaves opposite, from oblong- to round, 

 serrate. Racemes terminal. Sterile filaments free. Capsule 

 linear. 



A native of the Moluccas; from thence introduced into the 

 Botanic garden, where it blossoms during the rains. 



Stems and branches round, smooth, and creeping close to 

 the earth, with short, (about an inch long) floriferous, erect 

 shoots. Leaves opposite, sub-sessile, on the creeping' shoots 

 round, on the erect flower-bearing ones oblong, with rounded 

 apices ; all serrate, and smooth on both sides. Peduncles or ra- 

 cemes terminal, on the short, erect shoots, bearing several, 

 approximate pairs of short-pedicelled, opposite, large, pale 

 bluish pink flowers. Bractes opposite, one flowered, ovate. 

 Calyx five-leaved. Corol with an enlarged throat, and rin- 

 gent border ; upper lip of one pale coloured segment ; un- 

 der lip broad, deeper coloured, and three-parted. Sterile fi- 

 laments large, yellow, clavate, with the apices a little recurv- 

 ed, perfectly free. Stigma of two, thin, broad, round lobes. 

 Capsule linear, as long as the calyx, two-celled, two-valved. 



13. G. parvifiora. R. Corom. pi. N. 203. 



Annual, erect, ramous. Leaves sessile, ovate-oblong, three- 

 nerved, serrate. Flowers long- ped uncled, solitary. Sterile 

 filaments two-cleft. Capsules oblong. 



Stems erect, ramous, four-sided ; with their angles acute, 

 about six inches high. Leaves opposite, sessile, ovate-oblong, 

 slightly serrate, acute, when large three-nerved. Flowers 

 axillary, solitary, long-pedum led, small. I have seen some 

 plants with white flowers, and others with blue ones. Anthers 

 twin. Sterile filament two-cleft, each division headed. Cap- 

 sules rather oblong, pointed, longer than the calyx.
