97. Marcreightia Andamanica, Kurz, (in Eep. Yeget. Andam., 

 ed. 2, p. 42) is the female plant of Maba Sumatrana, Miq., with 

 somewhat larger and thinner leaves. 



ACANTSACEM. 



98. Limnophila diffusa, Koxb. (Fl. Ind., Ill, 93) is Ebermaiera 

 diffusa. — Ebermaiera thyrsoidea, N. E., and E. Zei/lam'ca, N. E., both 

 belong to the above noted species. 



99. Nomaphila stricta, N. E., and N". corymhosa, BL, will have 

 to be named Nomaphila pubescens, (Justicia pubescens, Lamk. 111., I, 

 40). — AT. Parishii, T. And., is hardly more but one of those glan- 

 dular-pubescent states of JV. pubescens, which also occur in the more 

 cultivated parts of Java. 



100. Hemiagraphishirsuta, T. And. {Ruellia hirsuta, N '. E., in 

 Dr. Brod., XI, 148 ; Justicia hirsuta, Yhl., Symb., II, 3, et Enum., 

 I, 122), is in my opinion the very same plant as Ruellia Blumeana, 

 N. E. in DC, 1, c. 149, and therefore the latter a synonym. Dr. 

 Anderson's H. confinis {R. confinis, N. E. in DC. 1. c. 148) is another 

 synonym, if his identification is correct, what I do not doubt. H. 

 hirsuta is a very common plant in the Indian Archipelago, growing 

 not only in moist sunny places, but also in the densest shade of 

 village-bushes and evergreen forests. It resembles to a certain 

 degree Strobilanthcs glaucescens. 



The differences between Strobilanthes and Uemiagraphis do not 

 appear to me to be clearly defined, for the number of seeds is 

 not very reliable, and several species of Strobilanthes, as for instance 

 St. fiava, with 8-seeded capsules, should then be referred to Hernia-
