I cannot fit this species into any of those des- 

 cribed in the flora of British India. I have not seen 

 the fruiting calyx by which Hooker sorts the species, but 

 the calyx in flower has the upper tip entire, very short, 

 and except at the base glabrous. 

 (Acrocephalus cajiitatus, Benth. I find in looking over the 

 herbarium, I collected a single plant of this Indian 

 speeies at Pulau Tawar in Pahang in 1891. The flowers 

 were light blue. It has not previously been recorded 

 from the peninsula).
