2. Si. crenulata, Otto <$f Dietr. in Berlin Gartenzeit. ix. 363 ; leaves 

 ovate-lanceolate very scabrous above, bracts narrowly oblong or subspathu- 

 late scabrid-pubescent. Schauer in DC. Prodr. xii. 598. L. indica var. 

 salvifolia only, Wall. Cat. 1823. L. annua, Hart. Calc., not Linn. 



N.W. INDIA, Royle, Falconer; Moradabad (cultivated), Thomson. MADRAS; 

 Vola Charnt'e, Thomson. 



Resembling L. indica. Leaves finely crenated, very scabrid above. Outermost 

 bracts % by / 5 in. Corolla from yellow to orange. This plant may not be wild in 

 India, but it is not known where it is so. 



3. Zi. trifolia, Linn.. Sot. Mag. t. 1449 ; branches patently hairy, 

 leaves often ternate ovate-lanceolate hairy somewhat scabrous above, outer 

 bracts lanceolate much acuminate hairs not closely appressed. Schauer in 

 DC. Prodr. xi. 607. L. indica, Wall. Cat. 1823, sheet B, letters a, d. L. 

 dubia, Wall. Cat. 1821, n. 1 only. 



Throughout INDIA, naturalized from the N.W., Royle, to CEYLON, Wiglit.

Resembling L. indica; so much so that ternate-leaved examples of L. indica 

 are generally marked L. trifolia. Perhaps only a denizen in British India. 



DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 

 L. SCABBA, Wall. Cat. 1822, is not to be found in Wallich's Herbarium. 



III. ZiZPPZA, Linn. 



Fruit dry, separating into 2 1-seeded pyrenes. Otherwise as Lantana. 

 Species 90, mostly American. 



The genus Lippia can hardly be distinguished from Lantana, but the present 

 species is easily recognized by its creeping habit and alternate peduncles. Rheede 

 Sort. Mai. x. t. 93, sometimes quoted for this plant, has large bracts to the heads, 

 nor does it represent the creeping habit. Roxburgh, by some slip, has omitted the 

 genus Verbena in Fl. Ind., though he has it in Hort.. Beng.
