‘Near 0. repanda Bth. and O. arabica Jaub. & Spach. To be 
distinguished from small- aes forms of O. repanda by the leaves 
soon becoming glabrous above while they remain hoary beneath; 
by the actitasy * samedi! this may eventually be found to be 
no absolute character; and by the poses and slenderer calyx-tube 
and different calyx-limb. 0. arabica, according to the excellent 
inelyaia of Jaubert & Spach. (Jllust. Pl. Chet t. 880 ), besides its 
somewhat differently shaped leaves, has not spiny bracts, its calyx 
is quite different, and the side-lobes of the lower lip of its shaae 
are broader and retuse at the apex.
