Fruit I have not seen. The additional specimens, collected by 
Dungboo, received from Dr. King since the publication of the genus 
by Sir J. Hooker, do not enable me to settle the affinity of the genus, 
which Sir Joseph suggested as probably with Veronicew. The general 
aspect of the plant suggests relationship with Picrorhiza and its allies. 
he posterior lip of the corolla—i.e. the lip bearing the staminode 
below its sinus—is clearly outside in estivation—D. Oxiver.
