4. C. hirsutum, JEdgeiv. in Trans. Linn. Soe. xx. 81 ; stem erect divided 

 upwards, leaves elliptic narrowed at both ends, calyx patently pilose, teeth lan- 

 ceolate-linear, ff.f. ^ T. in Joum. Linn. Soc. ii. 9, in part, excl. all syn. 0.

Western Himalaya; .nit. 2-5000 ft., from Kashmir to Kuraaon, frequent, 

 Falconer, Edgeworth, &c. Behab; Parasnath, alt. 4000 ft., J. D. H., Kurz. 



Stem, 1-S in., somewhat I'igid, patent'y pilose, the branches ascending'. Leaves 

 ^1 by J- J in., margin crisped waved or subcrennlate, patently pilose. Panicle small ; 

 upper bracts very small; pedicels J-g in. Calyx-teeth i in., pilose. Corolla ^ in., 

 blue. Capside yj in. diam., suhglobose. Seeds thortly ellipsoid, trigonous.' — A much 

 smaller, more rigid and hairy plant than C. paniculatitm, with smaller flowers ; but 

 perhaps not specifically distinct. It is readily separated from C. Schimperi by the 

 seeds, which Kurz could not have compared when he suggested (Joum. As. Soc. 1877, 

 pt. ii. 210) that H. f. & T. were in error. Wallich's n. 1295 C. was not collected in 

 Birma with the rest of n. 1295, but came from Herb. Wi^ht. 



5. C. Kooksri, Clarhe ; stem erect dichotomously branched upwards, 

 leaves elliptic narrowed at both ends, calyx-teeth shortly triangular glabrous.

Behae ; Parasnath, alt. 4000 ft., J. D. H., Clarke, Watt. Khasia Mts. ; from 

 the Garos to the Nagas, alt. 4000 ft., very common. 



Stem 3-8 in., patently pilose. Leaves f-g- in., hardly acute, often minutely cre- 

 nate, sometimes subpotioled, sparsely pilose. Panicles terminal, often nearly naked; 

 bracts most minute, linear. Calyx nearly glabrous ; teeth i in. long. Corolla ^in., 

 blue. Capside Jg in. diam., suhglobose. Seeds shortly ellipsoid. — The Parasnath 

 examples have the stem erect, simple, with some larger leaves clustered almost in n, 

 whorl at the base of the panicle. The Khasiau examples have the stem stouter, 

 flexuose, more hairy, branched from the base, and the leaves have no tendency to a 

 whorl.

Annual or perennial herbs. Leaves alternate or opposite. L'edundes terminal 

 or leaf-opposed, panicled. Calyx superior, limb 5-partite. Corolla campanu- 

 late, 6-lobed, sometimes to the base. Stamens free from the corolla ; filaments 

 often dilated near the base ; anthers oblong, free. Ovary turbinate, 2-3-celled. 

 ■Style cylindric ; stigma (in the Indian species) of 3 narrow lobes. Capsule 

 •erect, 2-3-celled, loculicidally 2-3 valved within the persistent calyx-teeth . Seeds 

 very many, small. — Disxeib. Species 80, chiefly in the southern hemisphere, a 

 iew tropical, 1 European.
