 much smaller. Leaves rather more coriaceous, 3—4 in., narrowed from the middle 

 to both ends, the adpressed brown pubescence of the underside coarser and less silky. 

 Pod oblong, glabrous, distinctly stfdked.

General habtt of the three preceding, to which it is closely allied. Leaves oblan- 

 ceolate-oblong, subcoriaceous, 3-4 in., cuneate at the base, clothed beneath with 

 thick white silky pubescence. Bacemes rather densely 20-30-flowered, reaching ^ ft, 

 long; bracts like those of 0. sericea but smaller ; lower pedicels as long as the calyx. 

 Calyx ^ in. ; teeth lanceolate, twice campanulate tube. Corolla yellow, f in. deep. 

 Pod distinctly stalked, linear-oblong, IJ in. long. — A specimen from Eam Ghaut, 

 Eitchie, perhaps distinct, has subulate bracts and leaves finely silky beneath.

 long ; pedicels i-| in., densely silky. Calyx shaggy, ^-^ in. ; teeth deep, lanceolate-

. NrLOHiRia ; Travancor, ascending to 6000 feet, Beddome. 

 Sparingly branched. Branches woody, clothed with ascending dark brown silky 

 hairs. Leaves like those of C. sericea in shape and size, moderately firm, short-stalked, 

 cuneate at the base. Bacemes finally half a foot long ; pedicels ^-| in., densely 

 silky, not bracteolate at the middle. Calyx f in., deeply bilabiate, densely shaggy 

 with dark brown silky hairs ; teeth of lower lip linear, equalling limb. Corolla scarce 

 exserted. Pod 1 J in. long by half as broad, ] 6-20-seeded. 



46. C. long'ipes, W. 8r A. Prodr. i. 183 ; shrubby, stipules 0, leaves

NiLGHIEIS. 



A stiff undershrub with a straight woody stem, copiously panieulately branched. 

 Branches densely clothed with short ferruginous silky hairs. Leaves coriaceous, short- ' 

 stalked, more or less rounded at base, vestiture thin and shining, lower 3-4 in. 

 Flowers 3-4, dose together near the top of numerous rigid branches ; bracts copious, 

 refiexed, foliaceous. Calyx ^ in., densely clothed wi3i brown silky hairs, deeply 

 bilabiate ; lower teeth reaching half way down. Corolla |^ in. ; standard silky on 

 the back. Pod linear-oblong, 1-lA in. long, 10-12-seeded, narrowed into a long 

 gynophore. — Except for the glabrous pod, its affinity is with C. madurensit.
