JASMIMUM CONTIGUUM Sp. nov. 

 PL XVI, figs. 10, 12. 



Bacca 2*locularis, 2*sperma, loculis aequaliter evolutis arcte adpressis in 

 fructum parvum irregulariter ovatum cohaerantibus, endocarpio striis tenuis* 

 simus confertis flexuosis tecto. 



Berry 2*loculed and 2*seeded; locules equally developed closely adpressed 

 cohering into a small irregularly ovate fruit; externally wrinkled with close*set wavy 

 or zigszag lines. 



Length 4.0 mm., breadth 2.3 mm. Reuver. 



This also is only represented by a single specimen; but it belongs to a different 

 section of the genus from that above described. The very curious surface sculpture 

 (fig. 12) corresponds with, though it is finer than, that of/, fruticans (fig. 11); but 

 from that species it is clearly distinguished by the much smaller and more elongate 2* 

 loculed fruit. It will be noticed that the surface pattern is so fine that to make it com* 

 parable with J. fruticans we have had to photograph this pattern on 4 times the scale 

 of the recent fruit (fig. 11). 



GENTIANACEAE. 



Amongst the unknown plants figured by us from Tegelen in 1910 {op. cit fig. 58) 

 was a small globose strongly reticulate seed, in which the smooth polished testa is 

 divided into irregularly triangular or polygonal areas by thin prominent ridges. We 

 now find that seeds of this type occur among the tropical Gentianaceae (cf. Schultesia, 

 Chironia), but we cannot carry the determination further. 



LABIATAE. 



AJUGA ANTIQUA Sp. nov. 

 PL XVI, figs. 13, 14. 



Ab affini A. reptante nuculis parvis ovatis arcte reticulata differt. 



Nutlet small ovate, closely reticulate. 



Length 1.8 mm., breadth 1.2 mm. v Reuver. 



Nutlet resembling that of A. reptans (figs. 15, 16) but smaller and more finely 

 reticulate. It does not approach so closely to any other species of the genus. Two sped* 

 mens have been found. 



SIDERITIS SCORDIOIDES Linn.? 



PL XVI, fig. 18. 



Nutlet obovate, pointed below, attachment narrow; surface granulate with minute 

 elongate tubercles. 



Length 2.2 mm., breadth 1.4 mm. Reuver.
