364 SYNOPSIS OF THE BUCHNERE.E, 
bio superiore emarginato inferiore duplo 
breviore. 
Buchnera phenicea, Wall. Benth. l.c.A1. 
Has. East Indian Peninsula. (v. s.) 
Very near S. lutea, from which it may 
not be really distinct, although it appears 
so from dried specimens, and is said to 
have a red flower.

gis 10-striatis, spicis laxis, corollis cocci- 
neis glabris, limbi lobis obovatis, labio su- 
periore emarginato inferiore duplo breviore.

This comes nearest the laxer specimens 
of S. lutea, but is much more glabrous, 
and usually dries black. I am doubtful 
whether the Macao specimens in the Bank- 
sian Herbarium (which appear to be the 
same as those described by Loureiro) be- 
long to this species, or to the S. lutea, as 
they are in some measure intermediate, 
and the colour of the flower described by 
Loureiro as eis appears red from the 
dried specimens 
This species n been supposed by 
Hooker to be the one described by Dupe- 
tit-Thouars: as parasitioak, From the dried 
the S. lutea, and paket ‘the S, Thun- 
ms which latter has also red flowers.

A TRIBE OF SCROPHULARIACE.;E. 
Much more slender than any of the pre- 
ceding, it evidently comes near the S. eu- 
phrasioides, but differs in its glabrous 
corolla. The flowers are said to be bluish, 
they dry nearly of the colour of those of S. 
euphrasioides. I had originally considered 
this to be the one Linneus had specially in 
view in describing his B. asiatica, but I 
find from his herbarium that he applied that | 
name to all the Strige he was acquainted 
with, I have therefore mou it avi 
in removing the 
Striga, to alter its specific name.
