scent. Stamens 2 ; one anther-cell below the other, white-tailed. The 

 flowers and inflorescence much as of /. hemcophylla.

11. JusTiciA ALTBRNiPOLiA, C. B. Clarke, n. sp. Shrub, 2 to 3 ft. 

 high, with hairy stem. Leaves all alternate {i. e. one of each pair -1 in. 

 long, early deciduous) ; lamina ovate, oblique, acute, 7 by 3-5 in., very 

 unequal at the base ; primary nerves 8 to 9 pairs, hairy on the under 

 side of the leaf; petioles "1 to '25 in. long. Inflorescence of small, 

 short-peduncled, pubescent, axillary, few-flowered cymes ; bracts and 

 prophylla inconspicuous. Capsule -7 in. long, hairy, cylindric at base, 

 with 4 seeds at the top. 



Peeak: alt. 500 to 700 ft.. King's Collector 10680. 



The corolla has not been seen. This can hardly be a species of Hallieracantha, 

 as the cyme is too open and the calyx too small for that genus. 



12. JusTiciA otophoea, G. B. Clarke, n. sp. Nearly glabrous. 

 Branches slender, round, zigzag. Leaves sessile, one of each pair re- 

 duced to an ovate persistent ear -25 to '35 in. long ; the other 4-5 by 

 1-35 in., elliptic ; base unequal, rounded on one side ; tip caudate- 

 ligulate. Peduncles -5 to 1 in. long, axillary, carrying small few- 

 flowered cymes. Sepals -175 in. long, linear-lanceolate, nearly glabrous. 

 Capsule -7 in. long, glabrate, cylindric at the base, with 4 seeds in 

 the top. 



Peeak : Scortechini. 



The anther-tails have not been seen ; it is inferred from the small calyx and 

 the peduncled cymes that the genus is Justicia (alternate-leaved section), and not 

 Hallieracantha. 



13. Justicia Gendaeussa, Linn. f. Suppl. 85 (1781). Erect, 2 to 

 4 ft. high. Leaves 4 by -75 in., lanceolate, glabrous, entire or undulate; 

 petioles "25 in. long. Spikes (condensed panicles) 2 to 5 by '75 in., 

 terminal, sometimes panicled ; flowers clustered ; floral leaves ; bracts 

 ■125 to -175 in., linear. Sepals 5, linear, viscous-pubescent, -175 in. 

 long. Corolla -5 in. long, white or rose-purple, pubescent without or 

 nearly glabrous. Stamens 2 ; one anther-cell a little below the other, 

 tailed ; pollen 30 /x long, ellipsoid, with 2 longitudinal rows of patches 

 beside each stopple. Capsule '5 in. long, clavate, glabrous, 4-seeded.
