 pubescent, leaves ovate-lanceolate acute obtusely serrate narrowed into the 

 petiole, racemes glandular-pubescent lax-fld., flowers yellow, upper fruiting

CEYLON ; south parts of the island, common. 



Stem 2-3 ft., rather slender. Leaves 2|-4 in., the petiole quite continuous from 

 the blade and stein. Racemes numerous, lateral, ascending ; pedicels |-| in. Flowers 

 yellow. Fruiting calyx |-| in. Miquel refers Vahl's 8. camphorata to A. cceruleum ; 

 but its yellow flowers and country both indicate its being A., camphor atum. 



5. A. malabaricum, Hook.f. densely glandular-tomentose, leaves 

 subsessile oblong-ovate subacute serrate, flowers sessile in foliaceous elliptic 

 entire bracts, upper fruiting sepal lanceolate, the others subulate-lanceolate. 



MALABAR, Wight. 



Stem 8-12 in., stout, sparingly branched, leafy throughout its length, the leaves 

 gradually passing into bracts. Leaves 1 in., narrowed into a very short petiole, 

 margin entire below the middle. JBracts, lower |, upper | in. Calyx | in., a little 

 longer than the capsule. 



6. A. capitatum, Benth. in Gen. PI. ii. 949 ; stout, erect, glandular- 

 villous, leaves shortly petioled ovate or oblong subacute serrate, flowers in 

 axillary whorls and dense cylindric villous spikes or globose heads, sepals 

 lanceolate, upper largest. Stemodia capitata, Benth. in Sot. Reg. under 

 t/1470; Wall. Cat. 3926. Pterostigma spicatum, Benth. Scroph. Ind. 21.

 MALACCA, TRAVANCORE and CEYLON ; usually in rice-fields, absent in the plains of 

 Western India. DISTRIB. Malaya, Burma, China. 



Stem 1-2 ft. Leaves often reflexed, 1-2 in., base cuneate ; petiole hardly any. 

 Heads or spikes |-4 in. long, involucrate by floral leaves. Flowers blue, densely 

 packed ; bracts linear, hardly exceeding the flowers. Calyx in. long, villous with 

 long hairs, ^ longer than the ovoid capsule. The specific names of (Erinus) bilabiatus; 

 Koxb., and (Stemodia') capitata, were published in the same year. 1 give the preference 

 to Bentham, who placed the plant approximately in the right genus. 



7. A. micro cephalum, Hook. f. slender, glandular-hairy, leaves 

 small shortly petioled ovate or elliptic subacute serrulate, flowers usually 

 capitate, heads small axillary and peduncled or interruptedly spicate, sepals
