6 b. Teucrium Wattii Prain ; stem stout diffusely branched rufous- 

 villous, leaves long-petioled oblong-ovate acute, base cuneate entire 

 margin elsewhere sharply irregularly toothed, racemes panicled bracts 

 linear-lanceolate hardly exceeding pedicels, calyx campanulate declinate, 

 upper tooth rounded, 2 lower lanceolate, corolla tube subequalling 

 calyx, terminal lobe ovate the four upper rounded obtuse. 



Manipur : — Kassome summit, 6000, Watt, n. 5,127. 



A straggling herb, stems 80 — J 20 cm. long almost terete below, 

 densely rufous- villous with long spreading hairs, leaves 13 — 15 cm. 

 long, 5 — 7 cm. across, membranous, nerves softly hirsute, petioles densely 

 villous 5 — 7 cm. long, racemes rufous-villous, bracts 6 — 7 mm. long, 

 pedicels 6 mm. long, calyx 7 mm. (tube 4 mm.) upper tooth ovate acum- 

 inate twice as broad as rounded obtuse lateral and as long as lower 

 pair conuivent lanceolate acute, teeth within and calyx throat setose, 

 corolla tube 6 mm. long, lip 7 mm., filaments sparingly hairy. 



Nearest to T. quadrifarium from which it differs by the petioles 

 being 3 times as long, the leaves cuneate not cordate at base, and 

 membranous not rugose, and by the bracts which are inconspicuous 

 instead of large ovate. The calyx in both is very similar but the 

 corolla-tube is in T. Wattii longer and the upper pair of lobes are 

 rounded like the lateral, not, as in T. quadrifarium, acute.

9. Teucrium serratum Bentk. ; perennial sparingly hairy or gla- 

 brate, stems leafy, leaves small lanceolate serrate base cuneate apex acute, 

 bracts lanceolate longer than flowers, branches long slender paniculate, 

 whorls 2 — 4-fld. rather remote, pedicels i exceeding oalyx, calyx teeth 

 triangular subequal shorter than campanulate gibbous tube, corolla \ 

 exceeding calyx, filaments subexserted sparsely hirsute, nutlets small 

 glabrous. — Teucrium serratum Benth., DO. Prodr. xii, 586 ; Boiss., Flor. 

 Orient, iv, 813. 



N.-W. Himalaya ; Gilgit, Giles. Distrib. Afghanistan. 



Stems 25 — 40 cm. high, rootstock slender, leaves 30 — 45 mm. by 

 8 — 14 mm . decreasing upwards, pedicels 9 — 11 mm. long, calyx 6 mm. 

 long (tube 4 mm. teeth 2 mm.), corolla 8 mm. long, nutlets 15 mm., 

 spherical, distinctly rugulose. 



Near P, Scordium Linn, which it follows and from which it differs 

 by having leaves decreasing upwards instead of uniform, and acute 

 at the apex instead of obtuse, also by having distinctly longer pedicels 

 and a slightly smaller corolla.
