NEW GENERA OF S. AFRICAN PLANTS. 97 
Capsula.. ..?  Herbe v. suffrutices, ut videtur decumbentes ; 
foliis oppositis, lanceolatis, integerrimis ; floribus dense capi- 
latis, axillaribus; bracteis rigidis, spinoso-dentatis, capitulum 
involucrantibus. 
The genus Crabbea, which I formerly proposed, being 
identical with Barleria, I have selected a Natal plant, cer- 
tainly allied to Ruellia, but, besides other marks, distinguish- 
able by its very remarkable stigma, to supply its place. Ruellia ? 
nana E. M.! in Dreg. Herb. to judge by its habit, for my 
specimen has no flower, appears also to belong to this genus. 
The generic character is exclusively taken from my Cr. hir- 
suta, to which the following specific character may be given: 
C. hirsuta; dense setoso-pubescens ; foliis lato-lanceolatis, 
acutis, ence: ; bracteis ovato-lanceolatis, acuminatis, cum 
spinis rigidis hirsutis marginatis. 
13. RuTTYA. Calyx 5-partitus, laciniis lineari-attenuatis, 
flexuosis, longissimis. Corolle tubus latus, calycis laciniis 
brevior, fauce hinc inflata; limbus bilabiatus, labio superiore 
erecto, semibifido, plano ; inferiore valde deflexo, tripartito, 
lobis inter se subzqualibus.  S/amina fertilia 2, fauce 
inserta, exserta, antheris unilocularibus, loculo obliquo basi 
mucronato ; szerilia 2, brevia, dentiformia, inter fertilia posita. 
Ovarium sessile, biloculare ; loculis 2-ovulatis. Sty/us filiformis, 
pubescens, apice incurvus; stigma bifidum. € 
Herba Natalensis; caule tereti, pubescente; foliis oppositis, 
ovato-lanceolatis, petiolatis, subglabris v. parce pubescenti- 
bus ; spicis terminalibus, densis, bracteatis ; bracteis calycis 
laciniis similibus, nisi latioribus; calycis laciniis mollissimis. 
H. ovata, nob.—Discovered at Port Natal by T. Williamson, 
private in 72nd Regt. through whom I procured an interest- 
ing parcel of plants.—The genus is inscribed to the memory 
of John Rutty, M.D. an lrish physician and.naturalist of 
the last century, and author of a “ Natural History of the 
County of Dublin,’ and some other works.
