cited оп Kuntze’s authority rather than on his own.

This species is so different in appearance and so distinct in its characters from 
every species of Phlomis except Р, oblongifolia and a third Malayan species (P. javanica), 
which is as yet somewhat incompletely known, that it would probably be advisable to 
treat them as three representatives of a genus distinct from Phlomis. They must at 
least be accommodated in a distinct section, which may be defined as follows :— 
PARAPHLOMIS Prain ; corolle galea erecta extus barbata, intus glaberrima, staminibus 
posticis inappendiculatis. 
If the generic rank to which the group is almost certainly entitled be recognised, 
the constituent species will be known ав РагарМотв oblongifolia, Paraphlomis rugosa 
and Paraphlomis javanica. |
