cylindric, '25 in. long, dilate near mouth and at base, 

 glabrous outside, lobes short, lower lip pubescent above 

 shortly lobed. Anthers hairy curved, purple with a white 

 spur. Capsule fusiform, shorter than the bracts, acute 

 hairy. 



Tasan : Yellowish-green, spotted crimson ; 6919 : Bracts 

 pale green tipped with red, reverse of leaves crimson ; 6983. 



A very distinct species in its hairiness and the rhomboid 

 bracts and small flower. 



223. Justicia subcoriacea, sp. nov. 



Shrublet 2 to 2*5 ft. tall ; branches woody with pale 

 bark quite glabrous. Leaves eUiptic narrowed and obUque 

 at the base, tip blunt, rounded or shortly blunt acuminate, 

 edge crenulate, coriaceous hght green when dry ; nerves 4 

 pau*s, sunk above, prominent beneath, 4 to 4-5 in. long, 

 2 to 3 in. wide ; petiole • 5 in. long. Spike terminal, 3 in. 

 long, peduncle -5 in. Bracts green, coriaceous, ovate acute, 

 base broad, '4 in. long, -2 in. wide keeled and nerved. 

 Calyx-lobes short, narrowly acuminate from a broader base. 

 Corolla '75 in. long, tube straight cylindric, lobes as long, 

 upper lobe lanceolate narrow, lower lobe obovate, wider, 

 strongly nerved. Filament half as long as upper lobe ; 

 anther-cells oblong, the lower one with a short white conical 

 acute spur. Capsule 1 in. long, dilated upwards, acute. 

 Seeds orbicular, thickly white-pustular. 



Koh Pipidon : White, striped deep crimson ; 2 to 2*5 

 ft. high ; 6542. Very distinct in its shrubby habit and 

 glabrous coriaceous leaves. 



224. Justicia Gendarusa, L. 



Mamoh : PurpUsh to pinkish white ; 1-2 ft. ; 6702. 

 Distrib. Tropical Asia. 



225. Justicia valida, Ridl. 



Tasan : Greenish-white ; 1 to 2 ft. ; 6899. Distrib, 

 Kedah. 



The specimens have more slender racemes and are 

 nearly glabrous, but I do not think it can be separated. 



226. Justicia quadrifaria, Nees. 



Tasan : White ; one ft. ; 6840 : Pale greenish yellow ; 

 6 ft. ; 6826. TapU : Upper petal white spotted crimson ; 

 lip green ; 6753. Distrib. India, Malay Peninsula. 



The form is quite like that of the Malay Peninsula which 

 Clarke identified as Neesiana but which I think is not typi- 

 cal Neesiana. 



227. Justicia ( § Henicophylla) viridiflora, sp. nov. 

 Shrubby, 4 to 5 ft. tall, young parts i abescent. Leaves 



in very unequal pairs, larger one lanceolate-acuminate, base 

 blunt slightly obUque ; nerves 5 pairs ascending, 6 in. long, 



2 in. wide or less ; petiole • 1 in., small leaf ovate • 5 in, long, 

 sub-sessile, • 3 nerved. Cymes axillary hairy, • 5 in. long of 



3 to 4 branches. Bracts short, linear acuminate hairy.
