calyx, ascending or erect in fruit and not at all or scarcely winged. Bracts 

 acute or acuminate, not produced at the base. Calyx-segments about 2 lines 

 long Avlien in flowf^r and scarcely enlarged in fruit, acute or scarcely obtuse. 

 Corolla : upper lip shorter than the calyx or scarcely exceeding it, obovate ; 

 lower lip rather longer, broader and very convex ; spur descending, conical, 

 rather obtuse, as long as the lower lip. Capsule membranous. Seeds nearly 

 globular, appearing tuberculate or almost muricate when dry, reticulate only 

 when soaked.— A. DC. Prod. viii. 15 ; U, graminifolia, R. Br. Prod. 432, 

 but scarcely of Vahl.

^ U. affiuis, Wight, Ic. t. 1580 ; Oliv. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 178, from the Tndinti Pe- 

 ninsula, appears to he, as suggested by Oliver, the same plant, differing from the common 

 Asiatic V, ccBruIea, Linn, (which is probably the true V. gramhiifolia, Vahl,) in the shorter 

 pedicels, usually less acute calyces, and perhaps a few other characters of no great iia- 

 portance. 



10. 17. lateriflora. It. Br. Prod, 431. Scapes slender, sometimes filiform, 

 but often rather rigid and drying black, 1 to 4 in. high. Leaves radical, spa- 

 thulate, very rarely present at the time of flowering. Flowers small, purpks 

 usually only 2 to 4, distant and very shortly pedicelhnte or almost sessile. 

 Bracts obtuse, not produced at the base. Calyx not 1 line long. Corolla : 

 upper lip oblong or linear, truncate or emarginate, shortly exceeding the 

 calyx ; lower lip broader tlian long, 3 to 4 lines across, entire or obscurely 

 crenate, the sides reflexed ; spur conical, nearly as long as the lower lip or 

 sometimes rather longer. Capsule membranous. Seeds small, ovoid.— A.
