 1800.] D. Praia — So)i)e additional species of Lablatae. 313 



tipped, corolla 13 mm., tube sliort, upper lip short cmarginate villous, 

 stamens exserted, nutlets smootlj truucatc flattened, 3 mm. lon^^. 



Very closely related to Otostegia limhata Boiss. (Flor. Orient, iv, 

 778) from which it differs by its glabrous habit, spinescent-tipped leaves, 

 bract-spines all rounded, broader lower calyx lobes and shorter corolla 

 upper lip. 



45. LEUCAS R. Br. 



§ § OUTHOLEUCAL 



* * Perennial rooted. Branches 4-angled, hairs on them erect or 

 spreading (not deflexed). Calyx teeth not i the length of the tube. 



5 b, Ledcas Collettii Prain ; everywhere densely softly silky 

 with long spreading hairs, stems simple their hairs spreading and 

 angles obtuse, leaves all sessile very small thick ovate acute, bases 

 truncate or subcordate entire their margin elsewhere coarsely serrate, 

 whorls many flowered, bracts linear short, calyx truncate teeth minute 

 erect, corolla tube exannulate. 



Upper Burma; Popah hill, 5000, Gollett n. 29. Distrib. S. China. 



Rootstock woody, stems short 8 — 15 cm. rather stout bluntly angled 

 and distinctly grooved, leaves 1'5 cm. long 1*25 cm. wide close set softly 

 silky below and above, calyx 5 mm. long, corolla 7 mm. long, tube not 

 exserted. 



Very like a densely silky form of Leucas lanata from the dry hills 

 of the Deccan (L. collina Dalz.) but easily distinguished on analysis 

 by the calyx, within densely villous at the mouth only and not (as in all 

 forms of L. lanata^ sparsely hirsute throughout the upper third, and 

 by the much shorter corolla without any trace of an annulus.

49. ERBMOSTACHYS Bunge. 



4. Eremostachys thyrstflora Benth.; root-leaves obtusely incised 

 toothed narrowed into a long petiole, floral sessile oblong dentate, lower 

 as long as flowers, whorls in lax 5 — 7-flowered cymes forming lax ra- 

 cemes, the terminal flower of each cyme sessile, the others pedicelled along 

 one side of the cyme branches, bracts 2, linear-subulate softly hairy erect 

 as long as the calyx, calyx hoary-tomentose infundibuliform, teeth long 

 subulate from a wide base shorter than the corolla. — Eremostachys
