In this Order I have departed from the "Genera Plantarum'' in intrcdneing- 

 Latkraa under the Tribe EuphrasietB, instead of retaining it in Orobanchece. This, 

 its proper position, -was pointed out by Solms Laubach, in a dissertation which was 

 overlooked when the Scrophularinem of the " Genera " were elaborated. I have also 

 transferred , Campbellia to Christisonia, which is left in Orobanckeis till the living 

 plant shall be studied morphologically. 



A few non-Indian garden Scrophularineee are more or less frequent near stations, 

 but none seem truly naturalised to any extent except the American Calceolaria 

 mexicana, Benth., which is so about Darjeeling and in the Nilgherries.
