1. ANTICHARIS Endl. 



1. Anticharis linearis Hochst. 



Add to localities : — Rajputana ; Bikanir, where it is known as 

 " Dhunnya," Major Roberts ! 



The capsules, in all the Tndian specimens at Calcutta, are pubescent. 



2. VERBASCUM Linn. 



3. Verbascum erianthum Benth., DC. Prodr. x. 236; Boiss. Flor.

 thie's Collectors! Chitral ; near Drosh, Hamilton ! Kala Drosh, Harriss ! 

 between Mirga and Dir, Harriss ! Distrib. Afghanistan ; W. Beluchis- 

 tan. 



Biennial ; stem 3-4 feet, blackish, paniculately branched upwards. Leaves cre- 

 nate, radical up to 18 in. long, cauline 4-8 in. Flowers in distant tomentose fascicles 

 on the 6-8 in. long branches of the terminal panicle ; pedicels unequal, rather 

 shorter than the calyx, '25 in. long. Calyx-lobes triangular, partite to the middle. 

 Corolla *5 in. across. Stamens 5, filaments woolly. Capsule ovate, twice as long as 

 calyx. 



4. L1NARIA Juss. 



2. Linaria incana Wall. PL As. Bar. ii. 43; Benth., DC. Prodr. x. 

 270. L. cabulica Hook. /., Flor. Brit. Ind. iv. 251, quoad descript. L. 

 ramosissima var. pubescens Stocks Mss., Flor. Brit. Ind. iv. 25 J. 



Deccan : Perrottet! C. India : Jubbulpore, Beddome! Goona, King I 

 Nepal: Rambun, Wallich 3910! JST.W. Himalaya: Sirmore, Vicary t 

 Jaunsar, Gamble! Fagu, Gamble! Hazara, Stewart! Kangra, Stoliczka ! 

 Churnba, Clarke 23566 in part, mixed witb L. ramosissima! Rawal Pindi, 

 Aitnhison 213 in part, mixed with L. romomsma / Rajputana : Abu, 

 King! N. India: Etawab, Hume! Chitral, near Drosb, Harris! 



The above are the Herb. Calcutta localities for this plant, which the writer is 

 inclined to agree with Clarke and Aitchison in uniting with L. ramosissima. This 

 is the species with softly hirsute leaves and echinate or, as Bentham expresses ib 

 " muricate-tubercular " seeds, exactly like those of L. ramosissima. 



3. Linaria cabulica Benth., DC. Prodr. x. 270. L. incana Hook. 

 /., Flor. Brit. Ind. iv. 252. 



Afghanistan : Griffith K.D. 3859, named by Bentham ! Kashmir r 

 Srinagar, Clarke 29124 ! Gammie! Falconer 763! 



The above are the localities of the specimens in Herb. Calcutta of this species, 

 which is, as an authentic sheet named by Bentham shows, the one with flowers, 

 capsules, and seeds larger than in L. ramosissima and L. incana ; in this plant the- 

 seeds have a closely roughly pitted testa, not echinate or " muricate-tubercular."
