528 cix. ACANTHACB.E. (C. B. Clarke.) [Justicia. 



setaceous hairy. Corolla (dried) rose-purple, spotted j tube much inflated upwards. 

 Lower anther-cell conspicuously white-tailed. -A specimen, issued hy Kurz under the 

 same number (2167), has large oblong leaves much attenuate at both ends ; petiole 

 winged to the base, and there often auricnlate ; capsules i in./ clavate, 4-seeded. 

 From the variations of the leaves in some allied species, it is probably a form of 

 J. Kurzii.
