ADENOSM A R. Brown 



ADENOSMA CAPITATUM Benth. ex Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 4 (1884) 264. 

 Stemodia capitata Benth. in Wall. Cat. (1831) no. 3926, nomen nudum, 



Bot. Reg. sub. t. 1470, fide C. B. Clarke. 

 Pterostigma capitatum Benth. Scroph. Ind. (1835) 21. 

 Erinus bilabiatus Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. 2, 3 (1832) 92. 

 Stoechas pilosa Rumph. Herb. Amb. 7: 51, t. 22, f. 1. 



This species is not represented in our Amboina collections. 

 The figure and description, however, both refer unmistakably to 

 Adenosma capitatum Benth. Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 

 190, referred it, with doubt, to Acrocephalus capitatus Benth., 

 which is manifestly wrong. The whole plant is pleasantly aro- 

 matic when crushed. Clarke states that Erinus bilabiatus Roxb. 

 and Stemodia capitata Benth. were published in the same year.

Ruellia antipoda Linn., typified by FL Zeyl. 235, supplies the 

 oldest specific name for this common, well-known, and widely 

 distributed species. The reduction to Ruellia antipoda Linn, was 

 first made by Linnaeus, in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 24, in 

 which he was followed by Willdenow, Loureiro, Poiret, and other 

 authors. Burman f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 135, referred it to his 

 Ruellia anagallis, while various other authors have cited it under 

 one or another of the synonyms mentioned above. The species 

 appears in most recent botanical literature as Bonnaya veronicae- 

 folia Spreng.
