 and in waste corners in the neighbourhood of Calcutta.

In all the specimens examined by the writer the lower filaments are distinctly 

 toothed.

6.* Torenia rubens Benth., DC. Prodr. x. 410. 



This is included under T. vagnns in the F. B. I., and may, as Hooker suggests, 

 be but a form of that species. The two are, however, very easily distinguished in 

 the Herbarium by the smaller, often minute, teeth on the longer filaments of T. rubens. 

 They are still more easily distinguished in the field by the colour of the flowers : 

 T. vagans has a fairly uniform blueish-purple or dull-violet corolla ; T. ruhens has a 

 corolla with a pale lilac or nearly white tube with three bright violet-purple spots. 



10. Torenia flava Ham. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Malay Peninsula : Perak, Kunstler ! 



Kunstler describes the corolla of this as bright yellow. 



II. Torenia ciliata Sm.

 Kunstler! Distrib. Sumatra (Teijsmann 1182) ! 



Teijsmann's original specimens of " T. flava Miq. non Ham." are marked corolla 

 ccerulea. Two species of Torenia collected by Teijsmann and described by Miquel 

 I have not seen. One of these is T. lamponga which from Miquel's description 

 ought certainly to be T. peduncularis ; the other is T. cwulea and it ought equally 

 certainly to be T. ciliata. 



12. Torenia Benth amiana Hance, Ann. Sc. Nat. Ser. 4. xviii. 226

 leaves petioled deltoid-ovate acute, serrate ; pedicels axillary larger 

 than the calyx or the leaves ; fruiting calyx oblong, subclavate, 5-angled, 

 keeled and chanelled, not winged ; lower filaments with a very long 

 slender tooth.
