Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 685 



Perak: Scortechim 38, 1304; alt. 300 ft., Wray 35S8. Bungal E.: 

 Lobb. — DisTRiB. Amherst. 



Scortechini, n. 38, and Lobb's example agree with the Wallichian Amherst plant. 

 Wray's example is much larger, and from description is not separable from J. salici- 

 folia, T. Anders, (see Fl. Br. Ind. IV. 531), a Khasia plant, which, however, it does 

 not match. As stated in the Fl. Br. Ind. IV. .530, J. Neesiana should be esteemed only 

 a var. of J. quadrifaria. 



9. JusTiciA HENicoPHYLLA, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. A herb, 1-5 to 4 ft. 

 high, nearly glabrous. Leaves apparently alternate, attaining 9 by 

 3'5 in,, often only half these dimensions, elliptic or ovate, acuminate, 

 acute ; base cuneate, not rarely unequal, with one side rounded or 

 almost cordate ; primary nerves 7 pairs ; petioles to "25 in. long. Bi- 

 florescence of axillary peduncled cymes, sometimes small few-flowered, 

 sometimes compound 40-flowered (but less than half the length of 

 the leaf) ; bracts and prophylla minute. Sepals 5, linear, -175 in. long, 

 pubescent. Corolla a greenish cream-colour, the palate marked with 

 rose-purple, '35 in. in length, pubescent without; altogether as of a 

 Justicia. Stamens 2 ; filaments glabrous ; cells of anthers 2, eUipsoid, 

 one (half its length) below the other with a white tail ; pollen ellipsoid, 

 30 /A long, with 2 stopples, and a longitudinal row of patches on 

 either side of each stopple. Style hairy, shortly 2-fid at top. Capsule 

 •7 in. long, glabrate; base cylindric, with 4 seeds in the upper (widened) 

 part ; seeds glabrous, granular-scabrid. 



The numerous examples here collected may include more species than one ; some 

 (King's Collector 2189, Curtis 1342) have dried green ; others (Wray and Scortechini) 

 have dried red tinged black. The leaves in some are shortly acuminated, in others 

 long acuminated. The base of the leaf varies greatly on one branch.

10. Justicia subalternans, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. A much-branched 

 shrub, 2 to 4 ft. high, nearly glabrous. Leaves opposite, rarely 

 subequal, one of each pair often wanting or less than -125 in. long ; 

 nearly sessile, 1-sided, curved, shining, 4 by 1-25 in. long, acuminate, 

 acute, minutely scabrous on the midrib beneath. Liflorescence of pe- 

 duncled, axillary, short cymes. Sepals -125 in. long, lanceolate, pube-
