distinct from the next. T. Anderson regards the presence of scattered solitary 

 flowers in the lower axils as of specific importance, and has deviated from the results 

 of the older botanists accordingly. 



18. J. tranquebariensis, Linn. f. Suppl. 85 ; very woody, leaves 

 jj~ | in. orbicular or obovate puberal ous or pubescent, bracts ovate or 

 orbicular puberulous or pubescent, corolla ^ in. Wall. Cat. 2462 ; T. Anders,

S. MADEAS and CEYLON, especially on hot dry low hills, frequent ; Wight, &c. 



A low, intricate undershrub ; nodes very short. Inflorescence, corolla, capsule 

 and seeds as of J. glauca. Wight's figure represents a more diffuse plant with leaves 

 considerably larger than in any of the specimens ; it is a form intermediate between 

 J. glauca & tranquebariensis as here understood ; Col. Beddome believes these two not 

 specifically distinct. % 



19. J. salsoloides, T. Anders, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 514 ; branches 

 softly white- hairy, leaves small spathulate or oblong subglabrous, bracts 

 elliptic or oblong, corolla |- in. -densely white-hairy. 



CAEKATIC and MTSOEE ; Wight, G. Thomson. 



A rigid, much-branched, small undershrub ; branches densely shortly hairy. 

 Leaves sessile, -f in., obtuse. Spikes terminal, few-fid., with scattered solitary, often 

 ebracteate flowers in the axils below; bracts by ^ in.; bracteoles similar, smaller, or 

 often 0. Sepals ^ in., linear-lanceolate, pubescent. Lower anther-cell tailed. 

 Capsule | in., clavate, densely pubescent (T. Anderson). Easily separated from J. 

 trinervis (and its Var. arenaria) by the white-furred branches and narrower non- 

 marginate bracts. 



Sect. 3. Calcphanoides. Flowers axillary, solitary clustered or in 

 dense cymes, without a terminal spike or panicle. Calyx sub-5-partite. 

 Corolla small. Seeds subtubercular or verrucose, not hispid. 



* Bracts obovate or spathulate (all perhaps var. of one). 



20. J. quadrifaria, Wall. Cat. 2479 ; leaves shortly petioled. elliptic 

 acute at both ends puberulous on the nerves beneath, flowers in close 

 axillary clusters, corolla - in. T. Anders, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 514,

Branches 2 ft., little divided, rusty-pubescent. Leaves 3J by 1 in., drying black, 

 not or obscurely lineolate ; petiole ^ in. Flowers 1-5-nate ; bracts in., spathulate, 

 orbicular or emarginate, very rusty-pubescent; bracteoles similar, smaller, or 0. 

 Sepals % in. and upwards, linear-lanceolate, lineolate, puberulous. Corolla hairy, 

 white rose-spotted. Lower anther-cell white-tailed. Capsule \ in., minutely pubes- 

 cent, 4-seeded; solid pedicel very short. Seeds tubercular, verrucose, glabrous. 



21. J. Zolling-eriana, Clarke; leaves shortly petioled oblong acu- 

 minate at both ends nearly glabrous, flowers in close axillary clusters, 

 corolla 3^ in. J. quadrifaria, T. Anders, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 514,
