258 The Flowering Plants of Western India. 



2. A. ovata. A large handsome plant, leaves soft and 

 downy, ovate crenafce, flowers in dense whorls on spikes, light- 

 coloured with deep purple lower lip, calyx teeth lanceolate 

 acute. Gopdli. 



Most variable in hairiness (H.). It has a strong smell of camphor. 

 Very common, Guzerat, Deccan, and Konkan. 



3. A. maldbarica. Large and shrubby, all covered with 

 hair or wool, leaves oblong lanceolate, acute crenate, bracts 

 and floral leaves subulate, flowers pale purple or lilac in whorls 

 or cymes, calyx teeth narrow, lanceolate. Gojiblia, Guligaozdban. 



The Ghauts. 



I believe that this plant must vary very much in hairiness and 

 wooliness, for H. calls the branches sometimes most densely clothed 

 with snow-white adpressed wool and Mr. Birdwood says it may be 

 recognized by this. But R. and D. put it much less strongly, and my 

 observation agrees with theirs. 



14. LEUCAS. 



This genus and the next approximate by the upper lip of the 

 corolla to the dead nettles (Laminm). This is an unattractive but 

 very prolific genus. H. has 38 Indian species, of which about 11 are 

 attributed to W. India, and of these several are very common and 

 widespread. 



1. L. lanata (L. coltina, D.). More or less woody below, 

 branches 4-angled, leaves ovate or lanceolate, coarsely toothed, 

 whorls many-flowered, calyx mouth about equal, with 10 teeth 

 alternately shorter, bracts linear. 



Guzerat and S. Konkan. Deccan peninsula (H.). 



2. L. biflora. Small, erect or procumbent, leaves ovate or 

 lanceolate serrated, flowers 2 in each axil erect, calyx mouth 

 equal, 10-toothed. 



Sattara and the Konkan s. 



Easily distinguished from other species by the few and com- 

 paratively large flowers. H. has, however, * L. procumbent, attributed 

 to Canara, with as few flowers, but more nearly smooth and with 

 shorter calyx teeth. 



3. L. stelligera. A tall plant with large dense whorls of 

 flowers, leaves oblong, distantly serrated, calyx with 10 soft 

 and spreading teeth, bracts many subulate. Burumbi, gumd. 



The Ghauts, Konkan and Belgaum. The commonest species of 

 the order both at Matheran and Mahableshwar. Dr. Cooke.
