three-foliolate to entire, some of them being two-lobed. The 

 original spelling in the Species Plantarum is Viiex "trifoliis" 

 undoubtedly a typographical error. 



August 20 (2731); original locality, "in Indiis." 



LABIATAE. 



PHYLLOSTEGIA Benth. DC. Prodr. 12:553. 1848. 



All authorities cite this genus as published in Lindley's Bo- 

 tanical Register 15; pi. 1292. 1830. The plant under that fig- 

 ure is called Lepechinia spicata Willd., and as no reference is 

 anywhere made to this name, it evidently means that the figure 

 is not really that of Lepichina spicata, but represents an unde- 

 scribed genus, and is the type of Phyllostegia, which, so far as 

 I can ascertain, was first characterized in the Prodromus, as 

 cited above. 



Phyllostegia grandiflora (Gaud.) Benth. DC. Prodr. 12:553. 



1848. 



Prasium grandiflorum Gaud. Bot. Voy. Uranie, 453, pi. 65, f. 2. 

 1830. 



Stems often six or eight feet long, woody below, the greater 

 part herbaceous, and leaning for support over other bushes, 

 thus giving them a vine like habit. In the older plants, the 

 leaves become thick and shining above. In some respects 

 these more mature forms agree with P. glabra, as described 

 by Hillebrand, but the two forms are often found in the same 

 clump. The flowers are large, white, pubescent, with long, 

 exserted tube. 



May to November (2299). 



Phyllostegia waimeae Wawra, Flora (II) 30: 531. 1872. 



A handsome species, with rather small, pink, sweet scented 

 flowers. The plant is pubescent throughout, four to five feet 

 high, the herbaceous branches somewhat climbing. Collected 

 on Kaholuamano, above Waimea, Kauai. It grew along the 

 banks of a forest stream, in a thick growth of ferns. Wawra's 

 type came from the opposite side of the Waimea river, " Hale- 

 mann (Bezirk Waimea)."
