fertilia 2, sub labio superiori ascendentia. Filamenta brevissima, tubo inclusa. Anthera; 

 dimidlatze ; connectivo elongate, filiformi, iiicurvo, postice saepius clavato, rarius aiitherze loculam 

 alteram a:erente. Stylus apice bitidus, lobo superior! saepius breviore. Achenia sicca. 



The Slenarrhena lanata Don prodr. fl. nepal. p. Ill, appears to me to be a species of Salvia 

 (S. cana Wall. cat. no. 2145). 



Tribus 6. Prasie.i. 

 Corolla bilahiata. Stamina ascendentia. Achenia carnosa. 



8C. Prasium. Linn Calyx campanulatus, lO-nervis, bilabiaUis, labio superiori 3-fido, 



inferiori bitido, lobis ovatis foliaceis. Corolla tubo calyce breviori, bilabiata, labiis subajqualibus : 

 superiori erecto integro subplano : inferiori patente S-fido, lobo medio Integro. Stamina 4, sub 

 labio superiori ascendentia. Autherae biloculares, loculis divaricatis. Stylus apice subaequaliter 

 bifidus, lobis subulatis. Achenia carnosa. 



This genus would thus be again confined to the European species. 



87. Phyllostegia. Benth Calyx ovatus, lO-nervis, subaequalis, nunc 5-fidus, lobis ovatis 



foliaceis, nunc breviter 5-dentatus. Corolla tubo calycem superante, nunc longe exserto, saepius 

 incurvo, fauce non inflata, bilabiata : labio superiori subpateute integro subplano : inferiori 

 longiore patente 3-fido, lobis ovatis, medio majore integro. Stamina 4, sub labio superiori 

 ascendentia. Anther* biloculares, loculis divergentibus v. demiim divaricatis. Stylus apice 

 clavatus, breviter l)ifidus, lobis clavato divaricatis v. lunatis. Achenia carnosa. Verticil- 

 lastra racemosa v. panicuiata, foliis floralibus bracteaeformibus. 



Tlie Herbarium of the Horticultural Society contains nine species of this gemis, all gathered 

 by their collector, ]Mr. M'Rae, in the Sandwich Islands. The following are some of the most 

 striking characters by which they may be distinguished. 1. P. dentata, hirsutissima, calycis 

 Idbis foliaceis dentatis, styli lol)is clavatis. 2. P. vestita, hirsutissima, calycis lobis foliaceis inte- 

 gerrimis, styli lobis clavatis. 3. P. grandiflora ( Prasium grandiflorum. Gaudichaud, atlas du voy. 

 de Freyc, t. 65 ?) glabriuscula, calycis lobis subfoliaceis, styli lobis lunatis. 4. P. macrophyllum 

 (Prasium macrophyllum Gaudich. 1. c. ?), caulefoliisque glabriusculis, calycibus breviter 5-dentatis, 

 styli lol)is lunatis, racemis abbreviatis. 5. P. leptostachys, caule foliisque adpresse villosis, 

 calycibus breviter 5-dentatis, styli lobis lunatis, racemis elongatis, verticillastris distantibus. 

 6. P. glabrum (Prasium glabrum Gaudich. 1. c. t. 64), pedunculis solitariis axillaribus, trifidis, 

 styli lobis clavatis. 7- P- clavata, stylo apice clavato, brevissime bifido, stigmatibus complanatis 

 recurvis. 8. P. racemosa, pubescens, foliis oblongis basi cordatis, verticillastris multifloris, styli 

 lobis clavatis. 9. P. ? hirsuta, hirsutissima, calycibus breviter 5-dentatis, foliis lato cordatis, 

 verticillastris multifloris paniculato-racemosis. The Prasium parviflorum, Gaudich. 1. c. t. 65, 

 appears to be a distinct species from all the above. 



88. Stenogyne. Benth Calyx ovato-campanulatus, lO-nervis, subaequalis, nunc 5-fidus, lobis 



ovatis foliaceis, nunc breviter 5-dentatus. Corolla tubo exserto incurvo, fauce inflata, bilabiata, 

 labiis subaequalibus : superiori erecto emarginato : inferiori patente 3-fido, lobis subaequalibus. 

 Stamina 4, sub labio superiori ascendentia. Antherae biloculares, loculis divaricatis. Stylus 

 apice subaequaliter bifidus, lobis subulatis. Achenia carnosa. Verticillastra in axillis foliorum 

 caulinorum. 



The Horticultural Society's Sandwich Island collection contains the following species of this 

 genus also : 1. S. rugosa, foliis rugoso-nervosis, calycibus aridis acute dentatis. 2. S. scrophu- 

 laroides, foliis lipviusculis, calycibus herbaceis obtuse dentatis. 3. S. macraniha, hirsutissima, 

 calycis lobis foliaceis. 



89. Gomphostemma. Wall Calyx ovatus v. tubulosus, subaequalis, 5-dentatus, nunc 



aristatus. Corolla tubo recto exserto, supra medium inflato, bilabiata, labiis subaequalibus, supe- 

 rior! erecto integro fornicato, inferiori patente trifido. Stamina 4, sub labio superiori ascendentia. 

 Antherae biloculares, loculis parallelis transversalibus. Stylus apice subaequaliter bifidus, lobis 

 subulatis. Achenia carnosa. 



Besides the species enumerated by Dr. Wallich in his Catalogue of the East India Com- 

 pany's collections, the Prasium javanicum and phlomoides Blume should probably be referred to 

 this genus."
