17. LIMNOPHILA R. Br. 



2. LlMNOPHILA BALSAMEA Benth. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. ; — Malay Peninsula ; Perak, Kunstler 

 1027! 



Leaves rather dark green, flowers blue (Kunstler). 



5. LlMNOPHILA micrantha Benth. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Malay Peninsula ; Pahang, Ridley ! 



6. Limnophila erecta Benth. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Malay Peninsula ; Perak, Wray ! 

 Kunstler / Pahang, Ridley ! 



The stems are sometimes 12 in. long, and the leaves sometimes 1*5 in. long. 



8. Limnophila villosa Bl. Bijdr. 750. L. javanica A. DC. Prodr. 

 x. 594. L. pulcherrima HooJc. /., Flor. Brit. Ind. iv. 267. 



11. Limnophila hirsuta Benth. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Malay Peninsula ; Perak, Kuns- 

 tler ! Scortechini ! 



17. Limnophila sessiliflora Bl. 



Add to localities of the F. B. I. : — Burma ; Hotha, J. Anderson I 

 Kachin Hills, Shaik Mohim! Andamans ; Port Blair, King's Collector ! 



The Burmese localities are very far north ; the species may however occur else- 

 where but have been overlooked. At Port Blair it is to be suspected that the 

 species has been accidentally introduced with seed of rice from India. 



21. Limnophila gratioloides R. Br. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Chittagong ; Puttea, Clarice ! Burma ; 

 Rangoon, Kurz ! Tenasserim, Heifer ! 



The great rarity of this species to the east of India Proper leads to the sus- 

 picion of introduction. 



22. Limnophila Gripfithii Hook. f. 



This interesting little species has also been collected in Perak by Kunstler, who 

 reports the flowers as pure white, so that the plant from Nigeria referred to by 

 Hooker may be actually the same. 



18. HERPESTIS G^rtn.

 ed ; pedicels solitary, ehracteate ; upper sepal ovate, 2 lower ovate
