43.2 Capt. N. Yicai'v's Notes on the Botany of Sinde. 



61. Salvia Halaensis, Vic. : elopes of Hala mountains. Plant 



often to twelve inches, erect; old stems ligneous, younger stems 

 obsoletely four-angled, densely clothed with short hairs and 

 sessile yellow glands ; leaves much-corrugated, cordate-ovate 

 and broad-ovate, blunt or rounded ; slightly winging the short 

 petioles, and often forming two lateral denticula? at their apices ; 

 margins undulate lobate-crenate. Racemes two to three inches 

 long, dense-flowered, subspicate; flowers blue, solitary, almost 

 sessile; floral leaves small, bractea-formed, ovate, entire, hairy 

 and longly ciliate; bracteoles nearly as long as bracts, linear- 

 lanceolate, hairy ; calyx lanato-pilose, enlarging and becoming 

 nutant with the lengthening pedicel ; upper lip shortly triden- 

 tate ; the mid- tooth smaller, all acute, lower lip bipartite with 

 linear filiform lobes. Corolla, upper lip erect, short, bifid ; mid- 

 lobe of lower lip orbicular emarginate. 



The achenia of this plant give out much mucilage in water. 



VERBENACEiE. 



62. Verbena officinalis"? : spurs of the Hala mountains, Lower 

 Sinde. 1 have referred this doubtfully to V. officinalis. The 

 foliage of my specimens is from the ends of the flowering branches. 

 The leaves are petioled, opposite and alternate, both surfaces 

 shortly pilose, ovate and broad-ovate, blunt or emarginate, five- 

 nerved, margin serrate, with the three serratures at the apex 

 larger. 



Scrophularin^e. 



63. Linaria sindensis, Vic. : base of Hala mountains, Upper 

 and Lower Sinde. This plant is extremely like L. triphylla. 

 Herbaceous, stems procumbent or semi-erect, eight to ten inches; 

 leaves scattered, solitary, glaucous, entire, ovate, narrowed into 

 and winging the petioles ; apices soft-pointed ; young leaves often 

 shortly pubescent ; flowers purple tinged with yellow, subses- 

 sile, axillary, solitary, bracteoles none ; upper lobe of calyx folia- 

 ceous, broad-ovate, greatly exceeding the other four linear-lan- 

 ceolate lobes ; lower stamens with their anthers united ; stigma 

 simple; capsule obliquely globular, two-celled, upper cell abor- 

 tive, lower cell many-seeded, bursting irregularly ; seeds conical. 

 Testa spongy, furrowed. 



Linaria ramosissima, Wall. : Hala mountains. The Sinde plant 

 is softly pilose, in other respects it is the same. 



Anticharis, Endlich. : Hala mountains. 



A. viscosa, Vic. This plant belongs most certainly to End- 

 licher's genus, and probably to the very species, but. as I have 

 no means of referring to the specific characters given, I have 

 allowed my herbarium name to stand for the present.
