BtTRMA ; at Prome and Tenanghuen, Wallioh. ' 



A very doubtful species, of which there are two forms in Wallich's Herbariain 

 under the name, one with oblong obtuse petioled leaves, the other with subsessile 

 lanceolate ones, the latter agreeing with Bentham's A. malabarica, var. nigrescens. 

 Of this last the calyx is that of ovata, the leaves of malabarica.

Softly pubescent undershrubs or herbs; branches terete. Whorls in 

 dense spikes. Calyx 10-nerved, lips short, upper erect, 3-fid ; lower shorter, 

 spreading, 2-fid. Corolla-tube slender, not annulate within; upper lip 

 short, erect, notched ; lower 3-lobed, midlobe largest concave. Stamens 4, 

 subequal, ascending ; anthers 2- or by confluence 1-celled. Style 2-fid. 

 Nutlets crowned with a rugged annulus or chaffy beard. — Species 5 or 6, of 

 India, the Malaya Islands, Tropical Africa and Madagascar. 



A. Wallicllianuin, Penth. mss. ; hoary or tomentose or villous, 

 leaves elliptic-ovate acuminate orenate-toothed, blade decurrent on the long 

 petiole, bracts exceeding the calyx orbicular acuminate, nutlets crowned 

 with a jagged annulus. Teuorium Wallichiannm, Penth. in Wall. PI. As.

Suflfrntescent ; stem terete, 1-3 ft., simple or branched, rigid. Leaves 4-6 by 

 2-4 in., membranous, sparsely pubescent. Spikes 2-6 in., cylindrie, glabrate or 

 villous; bracts membranous, ciliate. Calyx \-^ in., rather inflated, membranous ; 

 teeth triangular, reticulate. Corolla J in., white dotted with rose. Nutlets ^ in., 

 turgid, faintly hairy. — There are two varieties, one tomentose with villous spikes 

 from SUhet (Wallich) and Tenasserim ; the other more glabrous from the Khasia and 

 Himalaya. I suspect both may prove forms of the Javan .4. densijlorum, B\., from 

 which A. philippinense, Benth., does not diifer.
