ciliate on the angles; 1. shortly stalked, ovate, crenate, rugose, 

 strigose-hispid or villous on both sides ; whorls few-flowered, 

 bracts minute; cal. tubular-campanulate, villous, equal at the 

 mouth, teeth setacco-acuminate, straight or recurved.' 



This species is founded on a plant from Macrae in Hb. Lindley. 

 Thwaites suggests it may be a variety of L. marrubioides, from which it 

 is described as differing in its lax-flowered whorls, hispid calyx, and 

 leaves pubescent not woolly beneath. 



Also in Nilgiri Mts. 



The description is taken from Bentham, as I have seen no specimen 

 from Ceylon. 



[Z. stelligcra, Wall.— The locality ' Ceylon ' for this in Fl. B. Ind. iv. 

 686 is a mistake for Bombay.]

Perennial (?), stems often prostrate, with very long branches, 

 quadrangular, pubescent with deflexed hair; 1. variable, \-2\ 

 in., lanceolate-ovate or ovate, acute or obtuse, very coarsely 

 crenatc-serrate, pubescent on both sides, petiole slender, fl. on 

 very short pcd., 1-4 in axil, whorls lax, distant; cal. softly 

 pubescent, teeth about ^ length of tube, subulate, strongly 

 ciliate ; lower lip of cor. with raised reticulate venation ; 

 achenes large, ovoid, smooth. 



In all parts of the Island to highest elevations ; very common. Fl. 

 February, September ; white. 

 Also in Southern India. 



5. Xi. long^ifolia, Benth. Lab. 744 (1836). 

 Fl. B. Ind. iv. 684 (not given for Ceylon). 



Annual (?), stem bare below, branched, bluntly qua- 

 drangular, pubescent ; 1. numerous, crowded, sessile or nearly 

 so, i-i^ in., linear, tapering to base, obtuse, entire, find}' silky- 

 pubescent, more strongly so on veins beneath, fl. nearly ses- 

 sile, whorls numerous, few-flowered, closely approximated to 

 form a dense narrow leafy spike, a few at the base separated, 

 bracts short, linear, acuminate ; cal. slightly curved, cam- 

 panulate, minutely pubescent, faintly ribbed, mouth straight, 

 nearly truncate, teeth very small, distant, acute. 



The specimens in Herb. Per. are labelled by Thwaites ' Morowak 

 Korale, July, 1868,' and were referred by him to C. P. 2076 as a variety 

 of L. zeylainca. They are in bud only, and are from plants which have 

 been ' topped,' and therefore not quite normal in growth. I do not feel 

 certain as to the name. Perhaps an undescribed species. 



Also in Western India.
