3. A. bracteosa, Wall. 



This differs from A. densifiora, which, however, is perhaps correctly- 

 reduced to a variety of it in the F.B.I. , by the very long spreading 

 bracts of the spike which exceed the whorls and terminate the spike. 

 It also differs in the much more exserted corolla-tnbe, which is 

 sometimes nearly twice as long as the calyx. Upper lip of corolla 

 erect 2-fid. 



A specimen from Bettiah, IIieronymns\ is named A. hraeteosa at Kew, but I 

 think it is A. densifiora ; it is somewhat fragmentary.
