branches and petioles scabemlous, leaves large long-petioled ovate or 

 rhombic- ovate caudate-acuminate toothed, spikes stout terete puberulous, 

 corolla-tube twice as long as the calyx, fruiting calyx \ in. pedicelled tubular 

 inflated below, teeth erect. Aphanochilus flavus, Benth. in Wall. PL As.

TEMPERATE HIMALAYA ; from Kumaon to Nepal, alt. 5-9500 ft. KHASIA Mxs., 

 alt. 5-6000 ft. 



An annual bush, 3-5 ft. ; branches obtusely 4-angled, sometimes muricate. 

 Leaves 4-8 in., base cuneate rounded or cordate. Spikes axillary and terminal, 

 2-4 in., in. broad in fruit. Bracts ovate or lanceolate acute, deciduous. Flowers 

 shortly pedicelled. Corolla yellow, puberulous. Nutlets ellipsoid, dark brown.

 tall, branched, puberulons or hoary-pubesdent, leaves subsessile lanceolate 

 or elliptic-lanceolate acuminate serrate, spikes long slender, corolla villous, 

 tube twice as long as the calyx, fruiting calyx ^ in. pedicelled narrowly 

 tubular curved, teeth erect. Gamble Ind. Timbers, 301. Aphanochilus

TEMPERATE HIMALAYA ; from Kashmir to Sikkim, alt. 7-9000 ft., Wallich, &c. 

 KHASIA MTS., alt. 4-5500 ft., Griffith, &c. 



An annual bush, 3-4 ft.; branches obscurely 4-angled. Leaves 3-6 in., rather 

 rigid, base acute, sometimes deeply toothed or crenate. Spikes 4-10 in., often 

 fascicled, flowering ^ in. diam., narrower in fruit ; bracts minute. Corolla white, 

 pubescent. Fruiting calyx ribbed to the base, with short triangular acute teeth. 

 Nutlets narrow. Bentham cites Don's Perilla fruticosa, but his description of the 

 calyx with linear teeth and corolla with a very large midlobe of the lower lip is 

 wholly at variance. Graham (Cat. Bomb. PI. 150) gives "Chibler in the Surat 

 collectorate as a habitat," which is very unlikely, and is not taken up in Dalzell and 

 Gibson's Bombay Flora. 



3. E. Thompson!, Hook. f. ; stont, densely tomentose, leaves sub- 

 sessile lanceolate acuminate serrate, spikes leafy interrupted, corolla-tube 

 shortly exserted, fruiting calyx in. pedicelled tubular straight woolly, teeth 

 spreading. 



OTJDH ; at Gadughat, R. Thompson. 



Branches terete, very stout, with brown close short pubescence. Leaves 4-5 in., 

 hard, scabrid above, almost woolly beneath. Spikes many, panicled, bracts leafy, 

 buds woolly.' Corolla pubescent. Calyx ribbed to the base ; teeth short, broadly 

 triangular. Nutlets linear-oblong. 



4. Beddomei, Clarke mss. ; hoary-tomentose, branches slender, leaves 

 shortly petioled narrowly oblong-lanceolate obtuse crenulate, hoary on both 

 surfaces, spikes long slender terete white-villous interrupted, corolla tomen- 

 tose, tube incurved twice as long as the calyx. 



TENASSEEIM ; Thougyeen forests, Beddome. 



Shrubby ? Branches nearly terete. Leaves 2-3 by ^-\ in., rather thick, base 

 entire narrowed into the petiole. Spikes 3-4 in., ^ in. diam., very white; bracts 

 minute, lanceolate; flowers in. long, sessile. Calyx-teeth lanceolate; fruiting 

 not seen. 



5. E. blanda, Benth. Lab. 162, and in DC. Prodr. xii. 160; slender, 

 puberulous or hoary, leaves petioled elliptic-lanceolate acuminate serrate, 

 spikes slender panicled one-sided, corolla-tube short, fruiting calyx
