296 D. Pram — Some additional species of Labiatae. [No. 4, 



altogether different habit. In habit this approaches 0. scapiger Bentli. 

 from Nepal and Kamaon, as does another plant from Manipur (Watt n. 

 7718) which has been collected without corollas or fruit ; the calyx in 

 Watt's plant is like that of 0. Parishii but the bracts are rather longer 

 (7 mm.) and the pedicels distinctly shorter (hardly 1 mm.) while the 

 leaves are in 4 (not 3) pairs, are deeply cordate at the base, and have 

 branches in the axils of the 3 lowest pairs. 



8. PLBOTRANTHUS L'Herit. 

 § Isodon. (F. B. I. iv, 616). 



* * * Fruiting calyx indistinctly 2-lipped, shortly h-toothed. Corolla 

 | — -| in. long, tube straight equal at the base. 



lib, Plectkanthus Brandish Train; stems simple or branched 

 ascending leafy puberulons, leaves petioled lanceolate serrate above the 

 middle, puberulous beneath, snbglabrous above, cymes panicled, corolla- 

 tube short broad, lips subequal ; fruiting calyx red-punctate scaberulous, 

 3 upper teeth acute, 2 lower broader triangular acute or sometimes ob- 

 tuse ; nutlets narrowly ovoid. 



Burma; Pegu, Brandis n. 813; Kurz nn. 575, 2101, 2405, 2406, 

 2407. 



Stems slender angles obtuse 50 — 80 cm. long, branches spreading 

 sometimes 30 cm. long, petioles 2 — 4 cm. long, laminse 5 — 12 cm. long, 

 1*5 — 2'5 cm. broad, membranous ; panicles pyramidal branches slender, 

 flowers white speckled with red, stamens far exserted. Flowers in 

 January. 



Leaves and habit of P. Walheri and P. Stracheyi with inflorescence 

 of P. striatus and a speckled calyx like that of P. Stochsii to which this 

 bears the relationship that P. Stracheyi bears to P. striatus. It is re- 

 ferred to in F. B. I. iv, 018 under P. Stracheyi by Sir Joseph Hooker 

 as a plant very like but probably distinct from that species ; the speci- 

 mens available being neither in flower nor with fruit could not be then 

 described. 



* * * * Fruiting calyx longer than broad, 2-lipped or subequally 

 h-toothed. Corolla ~ — g- in. tube declinate or abruptly decurved (almost 

 straight in P. repens and P. Kurzii), base usually gibbous. 



16 b. Plectranthus Kurzii Brain; stem simple ascending gla- 

 brous, leaves broadly orbicular obtuse, base cuneate entire narrowed 

 gradually into the short petiole, above the middle few wide toothed, the 

 terminal tooth always longest often very large and blunt, cymes in 

 narrow racemes shorter than the stem, corolla tube nearly straight, cy- 

 lindric, obtusely spurred at the base above, stamens included, fruiting 

 calyx glabrous teeth subequal subacute, nutlets small broadly ovoid.
