I doubt this being more than a form of N. mollis with narrow bracts and a longer 

 more curved calyx. 



18. N. cillarls, Senih. in Wall. PI. As. Sar. i. 64, Lab. 475, and in 

 DC. Prodr. xii. 379; tall, erect, branched, softly densely tomentose, leaves 

 shortly petioled ovate-cordate obtuse crenate, whorls seound dense-fld. in 

 long interrupted villous spikes, upper crowded, bracts lanceolate, calyx J in. 

 curved villous, teeth slender shorter than the tube, nutlets broadly ellipsoid.

"Westebn Tempbbate HiMAiATA, alt. 6-8000 ft. ; from Kashmir to Qurwhal, 

 Sot/le, Jacquemont, Mdgeworth. 



Stem 2-3 ft., strict. Leaves f-lj in., sometimes almost as broad, lower floral 

 large. Spikes 4-8 in., pale; whorls sometimes shortly pediCelled. Corolla very 

 small, about j in., lilac, tube slender. — ^Very like N. ruderalis, but the inflorescence 

 is more simple, the whorls rarely peduncled. Bentham describes the nutlets as 

 minutely granular, but I find them smooth. Clarke doubts Royle's habitat of 

 " road to Kashmir," and suspects that the species is confined to the Simla and neigh- 

 bouring hills. 



D. Whorls in branched panicles, some or all more or less peduncled. 



* Corolla less than | in. long. 



21. N. ruderalis, Hamilt. mss. ; annual, erect or ascending, finely 

 pubescent or hoary, leaves petioled broadly ovate- or orbicular-cordate 

 obtuse crenate, whorls very dense-fld. subglobose in interrupted spikes 

 villous, the lower peduncled, calyx ^ in. villou-s, mouth subequal, 3 upper 

 teeth triangular aristate, 2 lower filiform, nutlets obscurely granulate.

Stem 6-18 in., branched from the base, robust or slender, obtusely angled. Leaves 

 §-ai in., green or hoary ; petiole i- J in. Whorls J-1 in. diam., unilateral, depressed ; 

 peduncles sometimes 1 in. ; flowers pedicelled. Corolla very small, J in., purplish, 

 tube shortly exserted. Nutlets ,'b in. long, broadly oblong. The granulation consists 

 of more or less tumid separated areolse, and is sometimes very indistinct. — N. clinopo- 

 dioides, with a calyx less hairy and flowers smaller, is scarcely a variety, found ou the 

 Jumna by Royle. Woodrow sends from Poona a plant resembling N. ruderalis in 

 habit, but with a large calyx and nutlets like N. hombaiensis (from which the calyx- 

 teeth distinguish it). 



22. N. bombalensls, Balz. in Balz. Sf Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 209 ; erect, 

 branched, tomentose or laxly villous, leaves long-petioled rounded ovate- 

 cordate coarsely crenate, cymes all axillary few and lax-fid., peduncles 

 equalling the petioles, flowers long pedicelled, calyx \ in. laxly hairy, 3 upper 

 teeth broadly triangular acute much shorter than the tube, 2 lower subulate, 

 natlets nearly smooth.
