XII. PHYLIiOBJEA, Benth. partly. 



An erect herb. Leaves opposite. Cymes peduncled, bracts conspicuous ; 

 flowers rose. Calyx large, 2-lipped ; one lip 2-partite nearly to the base, 

 the other 3-loted half-way down. Corolla wide-campanulate, sub-bilabiate ; 

 lobes 5, ovate, nearly equal. Stamens 2 perfect, filaments very short; 

 anthers large, round, connivent, 2-celled; cells ovate, divaricate, soon 

 appearing 1 -celled, dehiscing by a single short slit; staminodes 2-3 or 0. 

 Ovary oblong, acute ; disc unilateral ; style longer than the ovary, stigma 

 produced on one side; placentae deeply intruded, bifid, branches much 

 recurved bearing ovules on both surfaces. Capsule narrow-lanceolate, 

 longer than the calyx, follicular, afterwards 2-valved; valves twisted; 

 placentae papery, revolute. Seeds ellipsoid, rugose-reticulate. 



P. amplexicaulis, Benth. in Gen. PL ii. 1020 ; glabrous, stem long, 

 leaves round, petioles winged amplexicaul, cyme-branches densely many-fid., 

 bracts broad almost imbricate. Boea amplexicaulis, Parish ms.; Clarke 

 Comm. # Cyrt. Eeng. t. 84. 



TENASSEBIM ; at Moulmein, Parish. PEGU; Kambila-toung, alt. 3200 ft.,

 | in., round, connate at the base ; cymes dichotomous ; branches 2 in., 5-25-fld. ; pedicels

 Sepals 5,. small, narrow. Corolla small or middle-sized, widely ca.mpanulate, 

 somewhat unequal at the base, glabrous, 2-lipped ; lobes 5, ovate, obtuse. 

 Stamens 2 perfect, 2-3 rudimentary ; filaments short, linear (in the Indian 

 species) ; anthers 2-celled, often cohering at the apex ; cells ovate, divergent 

 at the base, slits usually confluent at the apex. Ovary sessile, linear ; disc 

 ; style as long as the ovary, glabrous upwards, stigma small obscurely 

 2-lobed ; placentae inflexed nearly to the axis, then recurved bearing the 

 ovules. Capsule linear, loculicidal ; valves 2 r twisted ; placentae at first 

 attached to the valves, twisted with them, afterwards separating from the 

 valves, which often again split each into two. Seeds minute, ellipsoid, 

 smooth, testa minutely reticulate. Species 12, Indian, N. Chinese, N. 

 Australian and the New Hebridean.
