PlilogaranthusJ] cix. ACANTHACETE. (C. B. Clarke.) 513 



Linn. Soc. ix. 507. Justicia guttata, Wall. Cat. 2431 chiefly, and PI. As. 

 Ear. i. 24, t. 28 ; Bot. Reg. t. 1334. 



KHASTA MTS., alt. 2-4000 ft.; on the southern face common, Wallich, &c. 

 BHOTAN (T. Anderson). 



Leaves often 9 by 3 in. ; petiole \\ in. Panicles 3-6 by 1 in., terminal or quasi- 

 terminal, solitary or 2-3 together. Corolla pubescent ; upper lip suberect, shortly 

 2-lobed, yellow ; lower deeply 3-lobed, segments patent subrecurved, green with 

 purple spots. Capsule 1J by in., 12-seeded. Confused with P. asperulus, but 

 the leaves are larger, the corolla larger and altogether a different shape and colour. 

 Nees doubts whether Bot. Reg. t. 1334 belongs here, but it is a most faithful 

 picture. 



8. P. elongatus, T. Anders, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 508; leaves 

 long-petioled ovate acuminate at both ends glabrous, spikes elongate 

 slender, corolla ^ in. tubular 2-lipped. Kurz For. Fl. ii. 246. 



TENASSEEIM ; Amherst, Falconer (T. Anderson). 



An undershrub, 1-2 ft.; stem terete, primrose. Leaves including the petiole 

 4-6 by 2 in. Spikes nearly a foot, most terminal trichotomously branched or 

 axillary simple ; flowers distichously opposite, sessile, solitary ; bracts in., ovate, 

 acute ; bracteoles subulate. Calyx deeply 5-partite, segments linear. Corolla-tube 

 straight, pubescent, lower lip hirsute within. Stamens of the genus. Capsule | in., 

 clavate, subtetragonous, glabrous, 8-seeded (T. Anderson). Not seen. 



** Cymes or short panicles axillary. 



9. P. pubinervius, T. Anders, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 508 ; leaves 

 elliptic or ovate acute at both ends pubescent on the nerves beneath, 

 cymes axillary, calyx-segments woolly within nearly glabrous on the back. 

 Phlogacanthus sp. n. 7, Herb. Ind. Or. H.f. Sf T. 



SIKKIM, alt. 5-7000 ft., J. D. H. BHOTAN; Griffith. ASSAM and KHASIA 

 MTS., alt. 3-5000 ft., frequent, Griffith, &c. 



A much-branched shrub, 3-8 ft. diam. Leaves 3| by \\ in., subentire, puberulous 

 or glabrate above ; petiole in. Cymes numerous, 1 in. diam., subsessile, nearly 

 glabrous ; pedicels often ^ in., ebracteolate at the apex ; bracts at their base minute 

 Calyx-tube ^ in. ; teeth in., linear-lanceolate, appearing woolly on the margins. 

 Corollj, \ in., mature puberulous, tubular-inflated nearly from the base, red ; limb 

 small, segments ovate subconnivent. Stamens 2, glabrous; anthers far-exserted. 

 Ovary glabrous. Capsule elongate, many-seeded. Nees marked this Graptophyllum 

 hortense. 



10. P. Jenkinsii, Clarice ; leaves elliptic acute at both ends glabrous, 

 racemes or small panicles axillary grey pubescent, calyx-segments uniformly 

 grey pubescent. 



ASSAM ; Jenkins. DiSTRiB. Bhamo. 



Branches elongate, stout, quadrangular, glabrous, puberulous upwards. Leaves 

 6 by 2| in., subentire ; petiole 1 in. Racemes 1-2^ in., dense -fld., sometimes com- 

 pound ; pedicels 0- in., closely grey pubescent. Calyx-tube ^ in., segments ^ in., 

 linear-lanceolate. Corona nearly as of P. pubinervius, but rather more pubescent ; 

 appears to have been orange. Stamens 2, glabrous; anthers very shortly exserted. 

 Ovary glabrous, 12-ovulate ; style glabrous. Capaule not seen. The calyx and 

 corolla of this species are very like those of P. pubinervius, but the habit is more that 

 of P. ttiyrsiflorus. Nees marked this Thyrsacanthus indicus, regardless of the 2 

 stamens, and 12 ovules. 



XXXII. C VST ACANTHUS, T.Anders. 



Corolla tubular, ventricose upwards ; segments 5, ovate, scarcely patent.
