 MootstocTc woody ; annual stems 6-24 in., hairy upwards. Leaves 3| by l-lj in., 

 much acuminate, with scattered short white hairs on both surfaces ; petiole f in. 

 Mowers 1-3 together, axillary and terminal ; bracteoles 1 in. Sepals exceeding 

 J in., linear, hairy. Corolla pubescent, , white with rose or pink-purple marks, 

 tubular portion equalling the ventricose. Stamens of the genus. Capsule | in., as 

 of B. prostrata. — The plant here described is the Parasnath one, which is a typical 

 Euellia sect. Dipteracanthus, and which Anderson identifies confidently with Kox- 

 burgh's -B. cernua, of which nothing is known but that the seeds came from Mysore, 

 and Roxburgh's description and picture. In his description Roxburgh says the flowers 

 were small, and his picture shows them f in. long, so that it must be a striking variety 

 of the Parasnath plant.

 acuminate in Thomson's, specimens. Bracteoles f in., hardly acute. Sepals linear, 

 puberulous or glabrate. Capsule |— 1 in. — Very closely allied to ^. cernua.

This seems nearer iJ. suffruticosa than M. cernua, of which T. Anderson reckoned 

 it a form j but it differs from both in the very large caroUa, the lobes of which are 

 1 by I in., roundly elliptic.
