LABIATAE. 
AMesosphaerum uncinatum (Benth.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. 527 
(Hyptis u. Benth. Lab. Gen. et Sp. 80). Espirito Santo, 1891 
(1236). 
MESOSPHAERUM ARBOREUM (?) BRACTEOSUM n. Var. 
Differs from the type principally in its large oblong or ob- 
lanceolate floral leaves, of a brilliant purple on the upper surface, 
and its calyx of the same color. There is at Kew a specimen by 
Weir (no. 161) of the same, referred to M. arboreum, but it may 
perhaps better be regarded as a distinct species.
