Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 683 



This is a striking var. ; some of Scortechini's examples show on the same stem 

 leaves acute at base and leaves auricled at base. 



Vae. e ixtrvihracteata, C. B. Clarke. Spikes interrupted at base ; bracts 

 very small, round, long-petioled, spreading, hardly (or not) imbricated. 

 Peeak : Biclley 7166 ; Goping, King's Collector 555. 



Wallich's (one) type sheet of this is very imperfect, as can be infen-ed from Nees' 

 description, and my account in Hook. f. Fl. Br. Ind. is erroneous both as to the 

 bracts and the synonymy. 



2. JusTiciA PUBiFLOEA, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. Leaves 4 to 6 in. long, 

 elliptic-lanceolate, cuneate or rounded at the base ; nerves 6 pairs ; rha- 

 phides none (or most obscure) on either surface. Peduncles terminal, 

 and a few axillary ; bracts (floral leaves) round-ovate, green, -35 in. long, 

 shortly stalked, pubescent, without white bristles on the margin. Calyx 

 pubescent. Corolla very hairy without. Style at base slightly hairy. 

 Anther-cells short-ellipsoid, the lower with a medium ovoid tail ; pollen 

 ellipsoid ; pores 2 ; one longitudinal row of tubercles on either side of 

 each pore. Otherwise resembling J. ptychostoma, Wall. 



Peeak: alt. 4000 ft., Kings Collector 3671; Scortechini. 



3. JusTiciA PATULiNEEVis, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. Sparingly pubescent. 

 Leaves 6 by 4 in., crenate, truncate at base, very shortly cuneate on the 

 petiole ; nerves 10 to 11 pairs, spreading at right angles from the mid- 

 rib. Spike dense ; bracts nearly glabrate, with some white bristles on 

 the margin. Corolla hairy without. Otherwise as /. puhiflora. 



Peeak : Scortechini. 



4. JusTiciA Scoetechinii, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. Leaves 3 to 4 in. 

 long, ovate or elliptic-acuminate, most of them rounded at the base, 

 crenulate ; nerves 6 to 7 pairs, without rhaphides. Spikes dense ; bracts 

 round-ovate, imbricate, somewhat pubescent, not bristle-ciliate. Corolla 

 hairy without. Capsule hairy, nearly to the base. Otherwise as /. 

 puhiflora. 



Peeak : Scortechini 41, 387. 



The leaves have dried a rich brown in all the nine sheets of Scortechini. so that 

 they look very unlike the preceding three species. 



5. Justicia subcymosa, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. Stem 2 to 5 ft. high. 

 Leaves ovate-acuminate, up to 9 by 5|- in., mostly obtuse at the base ; 

 nerves 11 pairs; petioles 1 to 2 in. long. Biflorescence up to 9 by 1 in. ; 

 bracts "5 in. long (petiole included), ovate, at first imbricated, in 

 fruit often distant patent ; a condensed cyme of 3 to 7 flowers under 

 each floral leaf. Sepals hardly -125 in. long, pubescent. Corolla pale
