Inflorescentiae amplae anguste paniculatae ad 25 cm. longae ;

acutos fere ad imum divisus. _ Corolla ad 3.5 cm. longa fere 
recta extra glabra saturate kermesino-purpurea, intus glabra 
(nisi ad unum locum apud fauces albo-villosum); tubus 
infra cylindricus supra subito ampliatus, parte ventricosa paulo

“China :—Lava bed west of Tengyueh, Yunnan. Lat. 25°N. 
Alt. 5000 ft. Open situations. Plant of 2-24 ft. Flowers deep 
crimson-purple. August I912.” G. Forrest. No. 8862. 
This species is very closely allied to S. rhombifolius, Clarke, 
an Assam plant with which has been identified by Clarke a 
Yunnan sheet collected by Henry under No. 11,183 at Feng 
Chen Lin. The Henryan plant differs from S. scoriarum in its 
very glandular calyx, but is otherwise very like. I doubt its 
identity with the Assam S. rhombifolius. 
Strobilanthes stramineus, W. W. Sm. Sp. nov. 
Species affinis S. pentstemonoide., T. Anders. a quo foliis 
chartaceis sessilibus rotundatis, floribus stramineis, staminibus 
brevioribus ad staminodia reductis inter alia recedit. 
Planta suffruticosa caulibus elongatis decumbentibus flexuosis 
saepe supra frutices errantibus glabris vel cito glabrescentibus. 
Folia superiora tantum visa sessilia; lamina 8-11 cm. longa, 
5-6.5 cm. lata, late ovata, apice acuta vel breviter acuminata, 
basi rotundata, margine crebro et regulariter serrulata, in sicco 
chartacea, atroviridis, utrinque lineolata glabra, nervis 6-7 
paribus. Inflorescentiae pedunculis praelongis 12-18 cm. longis 
saepe in ramulos tres divisis glabris vel ad apicem sparsim pilo- 
sulis suffultae ; bracteae mox deciduae mihi non visae; flores 
plerumque 5-g-aggregati subcapitati sub fructu remotiusculi. 
Calyx circ. 1.2 cm. longus in lobos 5 lineari-lanceolatos minute 
et dense pilosulos fere ad imum partitus. Corolla circ. 3 cm.
