Very variable in habit, but distinguished from S. bracMata and reptans by the 

 very different serratures of the leaf, which are more distant and less deep. - Corolla 

 violet (fioxb.).

 area as B. veronictBfolia and Vandellia pedunaulata, which it closely resembles. The 

 name grandiflora is not appropriate. Corolla light blue {Roxb. )

 B. veroniocefolia, and it inhabits the same area. It bears the same relation to it as 

 Vandellia angustifolia (which it closely resembles) does to V. peduneulata. 



4. B. peduncularis, Benth. Seraph. Ind. 34, and in DC. Prodr. 



X. 421, and in Wall. Cat. 3865 ; stems erect slender simple, leaves sessile

 slender much longerthan the leaves, capsule nearly three times as long as 

 the calyx.
