“Spreading shrub of 2-4 ft. Flowers heliotrope. Rocky, 
moist situations below high-water level, banks of the Salwin, 
Salwin-Irrawadi divide. Only at one place, near Chong-wa. 
Lat. 26° 45’ N. Alt. 3200 ft. November 1905.” G. Forrest. 
No. 952. 
This specimen has a very curious habit. I have never seen 
anything like it from other localities where L. chinense is known 
to grow. But the modification may be due to the plant being 
subject to periodical inundation. Forrest saw it only once 
(v. supra ! ).
