OC XCVIII. ACANTHACE.E (cLARKE). [Mimulopsis, 



anthers are exactly as in M. violacea. Granting that a small spur does exist 

 occasionally, it would not constitute an additional species. 



5. M. sesamoides, *S'. Moore in Trans. Linn. Sac. ser. 2, Bot. iv. 30. 

 Leaves up to 5^- by 3 J in., coarsely toothed or lobed, base cordate ; 

 petioles 1-3 in. long. Inflorescence viscid-hairy, loosely compound- 

 cvmose. Calyx-segments §-1 in. long, linear-ligulate, not acute. 

 Corolla 1 J in. long, perhaps violet (S. Moore). Capsule narrowly-oblong- 

 ovoid, somewhat widened upwards, 6-8-seeded ; otherwise as M. violacea.

This dried example differs little from those of M. violacea, hut by the mure lobed 

 strongly cordate leaves. As it conies from a different region and the flowers may 

 possibly prove yellow, it is not now united with 31. violacea. 



(). M, kilixna'ndscharica, Lindau in Engl. Jahrh. xx. 10. Stem 

 3 ft. high {Lindau), scarcely quadrangular. Leaves up to IJ in. long, 

 margin crenate. Inflorescence 7 by 1| in., of short dense cymes 1-2 in. 

 apart. Calyx nearly J in. long, lobes linear-ligulate, subobtuse, closely 

 covered without by many-celled (some gland-tipped) white hairs, 

 within thinly pubescent. Corolla f in. long, white {H. H. Johnston). 

 Ovary glandular, scarcely at all hairy. — Lindau in Engl. & Prantl,

7. M. runssorica, TAndau in Engl. Jahrh. -kx. 10. Hairy. Upper 

 leaves 3-5 in. long, broadly-ovate, acuminate, coarsely toothed, base 

 short-cordate; petioles IJ in. long. Inflorescence up to 5 by H in., 

 gland-hairy, bracts inconspicuous; upper part a nearly simple raceme 

 with solitary opposite flowers, lower part with short 1-4-flowered spikes 

 in each axil. Ovary densely shaggy with erect several-celled hairs.

8. M. EUiotii, C. B. Clarke. Branches stout, quadrangular, densely 

 reflexed-hairy, afterwards glabrate. Leaves up to 2| in. long, ovate- 

 toothed, pubescent ; petioles (seen) hardly \ in. long. Cymes many, 

 short, compound, several-flowered, forming leafy panicles ; pedicels \ in. 

 long. Calyx-segments up to | in. long, linear-ligulate, obtuse, densely 

 hairy without, hairy within (hairs short, mostly 1-celled, none gland- 

 tipped). Corolla I in. long. Pollen subglobose. Ovary shaggy.

The flowering cyme being covered up by the many hardly-reduced leaves gives this 

 species a striking character.
