I differ from Lindau in ascribing the synonyms above given to this plant. 

 The Ruellia imbricata of ForskSl is in the British Museum, and is the Indian 

 Phaylopsis pai-vijiora as R. Brown made it. The Phaylcrpsis longifolia, Sims (Bot. 

 Mag. t. 2433) is figured from a Sierra Leone piece (where Ph. lonyifolia, T. Thorns, 

 is not known), and agrees perfectly with the Sierra Leone plants of Heudelot and others.

The plants here taken as typical of this species are Schimper's Abyssinian 

 specimens. The above citations of authors refer to the plant they meant, not to their 

 synonymy, which is largely erroneous. In Schimper, 367, the leaves are not so long 

 nor so oblique at the base as commonly in P. parviflora ; in Hoist, 8911 (Lindau's 

 longifolia), the leaves are small 1-lf in. long. The present species might be treated 

 as a var. of P. parviflora. 



3. P. falcisepala, C. B. Clarke. Two anticous calyx- segments 

 oblong-falcate, hispid-ciliate, black towards the base, their adjacent 

 margins straight, very close together ; otherwise as P. parviflora. —

 the posticous segment.
