LohcUa.] Lxxv. CAMPANULACEiE (hemsley). 467 



Leaves petiolate, ovate or ovate-rotnndate, 6-9 lines long, obtuse, 

 rounded or subcordate at the base, crenate- dentate, membranous, 

 minutely puberalous when young, petiole nearly as long as the blade. 

 Flowers less than 6 lines long, axillary, solitary, on filiform peduncles 

 much longer than the leaves. Calyx-lobes linear-subulate, nearly as 

 long as the corolla-tube, central lobe of the lower lip of the corolla 

 obovate-rotundate, much constricted at the base, lateral ones oblong. 

 Stamens as long as the corolla-tube ; anthers hairy, the lower ones 

 bearded at the tip.

6. Zi. acutidens, Roolc.fil. in Journ. Idnn. Soc. vii. p. 204. A 

 trailing plant with very long slender stems, almost woody at the base, 

 perfectly glabrous in all its parts or sparingly furnished with minute 

 transparent chaff-like hairs. Leaves alternate, petiolate, ovate-rotun- 

 date, about 6 lines long, acute, rounded at the base, deeply toothed, 

 teeth very acute ; petiole nearly as long as the blade. Flowers less 

 than 6 lines long, axillary, solitary, on slender peduncles 1-1^ in. long. 

 Calyx-lobes linear-subulate, about half as long as the corolla- tube. 

 Lower lip of the corolla about 2 lines long, divided into three nearly 

 equal oblong lobes, the lateral ones oblique. Stamens about as long 

 as the corolla-tube ; anthers hairy, the 2 lower ones bearded at the tip.

7. Zi. Schimperi, RocJist. ; Rich. Fl. Abyss, ii. p. 6. A trailing 

 much-branched half-shrubby species, with very long and slender 

 slightly angular glabrescent branches. Leaves alternate, shortly 

 petiolate, obovate-oblong, obtuse, cuneate at the base, crenate -dentate 

 with very obtuse teeth, more or less hispidly pilose when young, 

 seeming almost or quite glabrous with age, from 3-6 lines long. 

 Flowers exceeding 6 lines in length, axillary, solitary, on long slender 

 peduncles 1-2 in. long*. Calyx glabrous or hispidly pilose ; lobes 

 linear- subulate, acute, erect, nearly as long as the tubular portion of 

 <he corolla. Lobes of the upper lip of the corolla linear-lanceolate ; 

 lower lip divided into three nearly equal oblong lobes about 3 lines 

 long, glabrous within. Stamens equalling the tube of the corolla ; the 

 two lower anthers slightly bearded, otherwise all glabrous.

8. Zi. inconspicua, JUch. Fl. Ahjss. ii. p. 8. An exceedingly 

 dwarf annual, branched at the base, from 6-18 lines high. Leaves 

 small, glabrous, oval or nearly rotundate, obtuse or acute, narrowed 

 at the base into a short petiole. Flowers axillary, solitary, borne on 

 peduncles often longer than the leaves. Calyx-lobes lanceolate ; lobes 

 of the upper lip of the corolla lanceolate acute, lower lip trifid. Fila- 

 ments united only at the top ; the two lower anthers bearded at the 

 tip. — Description from Kicbard.

This species, Richard observes, is very near L. wnbrosa, differing in its tliicker leaves, 

 and less sparsely prominently winged stems, which are furnished with harsh hairs.
