Besembling L. indica. Leaves finely crenated, very scabrid above. Outermost 

 Iracts i by ,'5 in. Corolla from yellow to orange. — This plant may not be wild in 

 India, but it is not known where it is so.

 leaves often temate ovate-lanceolate hairy somewhat scabrous above, outer

Besembling L. indica ; so much so that ternate-leaved examples of L. indica 

 are generally marked L. trifolia. Perhaps only a denizen in British India.

III. XiIPFXA, Lirm. 



Fruit dry, separating into 2 1-seeded pyrenea.. Othierwise as Lanfand. — 

 Species 90, mostly American. 



The genus Lippia can hardly be distinguished from Lamtana, but the present 

 species is easily recognized by- its creeping habit and alternate peduncles. Rheede 

 Sort. Mai. x. t. 93, sometimes quoted for this plant, has large bracts to the heads, 

 nor does it represent the creeping habit. Roxburgh, by some slip, has omitted the 

 genus Yerhena in Fl. Ind., though he has it in Hort. Beng. 



1. Ii. nodiflora, Rich, in Michx. Fl. Bor. Amer. ii. 15 ; annual, creep- 

 ing, minutely strigose, leaves cuneate-spathulate serrate, peduncles axillary 

 rarely opposite, bracts obovate shortly acuminate as long as the coroUa-tnbe.
