T. Anderson's whole diagnosis of his E. Teijsmanni is " a fine species with a 

 straggling habit " ; and I have no authentic specimen ; the name is disposable. 

 Whether this was the imperfectly known E. graciliflorum, Nees (Wall. PI. As. 

 Bar. V. 3, 107), from Penang I cannot say ; it is not the E. graciliflorum of Madura 

 (Java) distributed from the Buitenzorg Garden. This species resembles much 

 E. hirtipistillum (collected at the same locality), but the corolla-tube is here 1'3 to 

 1-5 in. long. 



25. Clinacanthus, Nees. 



A rambling shrub. Floivers conspicuous, in small drooping cymes 

 at the ends of the branches ; bracts and prophylla small, linear. Sepals 

 5, equal, linear. Corolla-tube narrow, funnel-shaped ; limb 2-lipped. 

 Stamens 2 ; anthers of 1 cell, oblong, muticous ; pollen ellipsoid, with 

 2 longitudinal bands. Style very shortly 2-fid. Capstde stalked, 4- 

 seeded. Only 1 species. 



1. Clinacanthus Buemanni, Nees in DC. Prodr. X. 511 (1847). 

 Stems round. Leaves glabrate; blade 3 by -5 to -8 in., elliptic- 

 lanceolate or lanceolate, entire or crenate ; base obtuse or attenuate ; 

 petiole -25 in. long. Cymes pubescent, 5- to many-fiowered ; bracts '125 in. 

 long. Sepals -25 in. long, minutely hairy. Corolla orange-red or dull 

 scarlet, 1-25 in. long, lobed one-third to half-way down. Stamens gla- 

 brous, no rudiments. Style glabrous. Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. II. 854 ;

26. Justicia, Linn. 



Herbs or shrubs. Leaves opposite, subequal or sometimes pseud- 

 alternate, entire or undulate. Liflorescence various in the different 

 sections, from strobilate spikes to panicles with the flowers all 

 pedicelled ; bracts and prophylla small, linear, sometimes lanceolate, or 

 in the strobilate spikes round, large, imbricate (these large round bracts 

 in many cases cover more than one flower, and are then floral leaves). 

 Calyx small, deeply 5-fid (4-fid in Sect. Eostellaeia). Corolla-tube
