636 cxn. LABIATE. (J. D. Hooker.) [Pogostemon. 



softly tomentose or finely pubescent, leaves shortly petioled orbicular or 

 oblong creuate, tip rounded, spikes cylindric dense-fld., whorls crowded or the 

 lowest distant, bracts and bracteoles slender, calyx small sessile terete 

 villous, teeth subulate-lanceolate ciliate. P. rotundatus, Wight Ic. t. 1441. 



NILGHIEI HILLS ; common on outskirts of forests, alt. 7-8000 ft., Wight, &c. 

 The CONCAN ; Dalzell, Stocks. 



A low-growing plant, very variable in hairiness, branched from the woody base ; 

 hairs of branches not reflexed. Leaves 1-1| in. Spikes 3-7 in., | in. diam., flexuous, 

 rachis stout. Calyx ^ in. Corolla white, tube hardly exserted. Filaments bearded 

 at the middle. I do not find the leaves to be acute, as represented by Wight, in any 

 of the numerous specimens examined. 



18. P. rotundatus, Benth. in Wall. PI. As. Ear. i. 31, Lab. 155, 

 and in DC. Prodr. xii. 155 ; low, villous, leaves orbicular doubly crenate, base 

 rounded truncate or cordate, spikes stout dense-fld., whorls distinct but close 

 many-fld., bracts and bracteoles linear-subulate, calyx large angled villous, 

 teeth triangular-lanceolate ciliate. Wall. Cat. 1535. 



DECCAN PENINSULA ; Heyne. 



Stem short, ascending, hairs not reflexed. Leaves 1-2J in. long and broad, laxly 

 hairy on both surfaces ; petiole 1 in. and less. Spikes 3-5 in., f in. diam., rachis 

 stout. Calyx sessile, in. long. Corolla-tube hardly exceeding the calyx. Filaments 

 bearded. Only known from specimens distributed by Wallich. In foliage it much 

 resembles the P. Patchouli figured in the Kew Journal of Botany, but the calyx is much 

 larger, with broader teeth and the corolla-tube shorter, and there is no appearance of 

 a paniculate form of inflorescence. 



19. P. vestitus, Benth. in Wall. PI. As. Ear. i. 31, Lab. 155, and 

 in DC. Prodr. xii". 155 ; shrubby, densely white-woolly, leaves shortly petioled 

 thick ovate oblong or cordate crenate rugose above, tip rounded, spikes short 

 thick dense, whorls confluent, bracts and bracteoles linear-subulate, calyx 

 large terete densely villous, teeth triangular-lanceolate. Wall. Cat. 1534. 



DECCAN PENINSULA, Heyne ; Paul Ghaut, Wight. 



A low species ; branches stout, terete, often bearing below tufts of long soft shaggy 

 or silky hairs. Leaves 1-1^ in., nerves beneath very thick, surfaces equally woolly ; 

 petiole stout, ^-| in. Spikes 2-4 in., |-1 in. diam. Calyx % in. long and upwards, 

 teeth woolly not ciliate. Corolla-tube a little longer than the calyx. Filaments 

 bearded in the middle. 



20. P. strig-osus, Benth. in DC. Prodr. xii. 155; erect, branches 

 strigose with erect hairs, leaves subsessile lanceolate acuminate serrate hairy, 

 spikes long slender, whorls confluent or separate below, bracts and bracteoles 

 long slender, calyx tubular terete hirsute, teeth unequal subulate ciliate. 

 Dysophylla strigosa, Benth. in Wall. Plant. As. Ear. i. 30, and Cat. 1549, 

 Lab. 157. 



KHASIA Mrs., alt. 4-5000 ft. ; Wallich, &c. 



Stem 2-3 ft. ; branches erect. Leaves sometimes ternately whorled, 2-3 in., 

 narrowed into the very short stout petiole. Spikes 3-5 in., \ in. diam., rachis stout. 

 Calyx g in., sessile. Corolla very small, tube hardly exserted, lobes sparingly hairy. 

 Filaments g- in., bearded in the middle. 



ft Filaments naked or nearly so. 



21. P. atropurpureus, Benth. in DC. Prodr. xii. 154; shrubby, 

 densely velvety, leaves thick stoutly petioled ovate subacute doubly crenu-
