72 Lxxv. EUBiACEiE. (J. D. Hooker.) [Anotis. 



nerves 6-8 pair. Cymes on slender peduncles much longer than the leaves ; heads 

 of flowers J in. diam. Corolla white, glabrous ; tube broad, much longer than the 

 lobes. — ^Fruit unknown. 



3. A. Xiescbenaultiana, W. ^ A. Prodr. 411 (Hedyotis) ; root 

 perennial, branches diflfiiae ascending villous or glabrate, leaves sessile or 

 petioled ovate obtuse or acute more or less hairy or hirsute above and beneath, 

 stipules bristly, cymes tei-minal corymbose hispid or glabrous, capsule sub- 

 globose didymous with the calyx-teeth near the top, cells 1-8-seeaed, seeds 

 deeply pitted. 



Throughout the moimtains of the Westebn Peninsuia, from the Concan to 

 Travancore, alt. 4-7000 ft. 



A most variable plant in habit, stature, hairiness, and length of the calyx-teeth, 

 which often enlarge and are sometimes somewhat toothed after flowering. There are 

 three principal forms. 



Var. 1. LeschenauUiana proper ; stout, stems often villous 1-2 ft., leaves 1-2 in. 

 ovate or ovate-lanceolate often cordate and sessile, cymes 2-4 in. diam., calyx-teeth 

 usually short. — Hedyotis Lesehenaultiana, Wt. III. 1. 125 ; Balz. ^ Gibs. Bomb. Ft. 115. 



Var. 2. affinis ; smaller, more slender, stem 4-8 in. usually almost hispid, leaves 

 i-| in. petioled coriaceous ovate, cymes 1-2 in. diam., calyx-teeth often very long.— 

 H. affinis, W. ^ A. Prodr. 411 ; Wt. lo. t. 1030. H. cymosa, Br. in Wall. Cat. 886. 



Var. 3. delioidea ; dwarf, glabrous or sparsely hispid, leaves ^-J in. coriaceous 

 petioled ovate obtuse. H. deltoidea, W. ^ A. Prodr. 410. 



4. A. decipiens, Sooh. /. ; perennial, stems elongate slender diffusely 

 branching and leaves sparsely pilose, leaves petioled ovate acuminate flat mem- 

 branous, stipules with long bristles, cymes terminal and axillary subpaniculately 

 branched many-flowered puberulous or glabrate, capsules small subglobose didy- 

 mous, crown shorter than the lanceolate calyx-teeth, cells 1-3-seeded. 



Westeen Peninsula ; Concan, Stocks ; Travancore and Pulney Mts., Wight. 



Habit of glabrate slender forms of H. LescAeiiaultiana, but the leaves have petioles 

 ^-1 in. ; the cymes are not at all corymbose, the branches being very unequal. The 

 capsules much resemble those of A. monosperma at first sight, but are more hemi- 

 spheric, didymous, and dehisce across the cells between the calyx-teeth. Corolla 

 nearly \ in. long, tube narrowly funnel-shaped, much longer than the calyx-lube. 



5. A., oxypIiyUa, Wall. Cat. 6193 (Hedyotis) ; glabrous, root perennial, 

 stem stout erect, leaves petioled linear-lanceolate, stipules long lanceolate 

 simple toothed or laciniate, cymes terminal subcorymbose many-flowered, pe- 

 duncles and pedicels erect, cal3rx-teeth short broad, capsules pedicelled turgid hemi- 

 spheric, cells 5-8-seeded. Oldenlandia oxyphylla, G. Don Gen. Syst. iii. 531. 



Khasia Mts. ; in marshy places, alt. 2-5000 ft., common. 



Stem 12-18 in., simple, rarely branched above, as thick as a goose-quUl below 

 and rooting at the lower nodes. Leaves 4-6 by ^-J in., tapering to the base, dark 

 when dry; stipules ^ in., base ovate, not connate, coriaceous, erect. Cymes much 

 divided with slender erect peduncles and pedicels. Corolla pale lilac, much longer 

 than the calyx-teeth. — Specimens from Gnffith's collection are marked as from Dar- 

 jeeling, probably by mistake for Khasia. 



6. A. urophylla, Wall. Cat. 6197 (Hedyotis) ; glabrous, root perennial, 

 stem erect simple, leaves sessile lanceolate caudate-acuminate, stipules cut into 

 many bristles, cymes terminal many-flowered, peduncles and pedicels divaricate in 

 fruit, calyx-teeth short broad, capsules shortly pedicelled turgid hemispheric 

 cells 5-8-seeded. 



Khasia and Jyntea Mts., alt. 4-6000 ft., Gomez, Griffith, &e. 



Resembles A. oxyphylla in habit, but is more slender, with shorter broader sessile
