1 mm. long. The capsule is 12 mm. long, shortly mucronate at 

 the tip, and gradually narrowing downwards below. There are 2 

 seeds in each chamber. 



Near J. jmlustris T. Anders., but distinguished by its smaller 

 leaves and narrow bracteoles.

 elongatis laxiter ramulosis ; foliis parvis petiolatis ovatis vel in 

 ramulis interdum oblongis, obtusis, atrate viridibus sparse et 

 breviter pilosis ; inflorescentiis axillaribus laxissime paucifloris ; 

 bracteolis minutis ; calycis segmentis subulatis hispidulis ; corollfB 

 tubo iufundibuliforme, labio postico ovato emarginato, antico sub- 

 rhomboideo lobis apicalibus subaequalibus brevibus rotundatis ; 

 anthene partibus valde sejunctis ; ovario ovato cum disco brevi 

 circumdato ; capsula fusiforme, seminibus 4.

The short main stem branches immediately above its base, 

 sending out long slender erect branches 4-5 dm. long and only 

 1-5 mm in diameter below. They are minutely puberulous, and their 

 internodes bear four longitudmal furrows. The largest leaves have 

 slender petioles 8 mm. long, and a blunt ovate blade 22 x 13 mm., 

 which bears a few short appressed hairs on both surfaces, those 

 beneath being longer. The peduncle of the 2-3-5-flowered in- 

 florescences, and the short pedicels, are almost filiform. The 

 calyx is 5-partite almost to the base, the segments are 3-4 mm. 

 long, becoming longer (4-5 mm.) and linear-subulate in the fruit ; 

 they bear besides the short hairs a few capitate glandular hairs. 

 The corolla-tube is 6 mm. long by 3 mm. in diameter at the 

 mouth ; the upper lip is 5 mm. by 5 mm. broad at the base, 

 narrowing to 3 mm. above. The lower lip is 5 by 5 mm., the 

 lobes 1-1*5 mm. long. The stamens, which are inserted half-way 

 up the corolla-tube, are G mm. long, including the anthers, the 

 halves of which are separated by a connective 1-5 mm. long. The 

 anthers are 1 mm. long. The ovary is 1-5 mm. long, the flexuose 

 style 7 mm. The disc encircling the ovary-base is about -25 mm. 

 high. The narrow fruit is 11 mm. long, the seeds are borne in the 

 upper two-thirds. 



A well-marked species, characterised by its small leaves and 

 very lax few-flowered lateral inflorescences. It recalls somewhat 

 in its foliage I. Oerstedtiana Lindau, but its leaves are much smaller.
