coccineum, u Fl. des Serres " = Thypsacanthus Strietus. 

 Cooperi, Hook. = Eranthemum sinuatum. 



Crenulatum, Lindley (fig. M Bot. Reg." ii. t. 879). — Khasia, up to 

 2,000 feet elevation. Leaves lanceolate, acuminate ; racemes slender, 

 in a terminal panicle with curved, drooping branches ; corolla 

 pale purple, tube slender, narrowly funnel-shaped upwards. Only 

 of botanical interest. 



Dutremblayanum. " Jour. Soc. Nation. d'Hort. de France," 

 1906, 553. — A garden hybrid between verbenaceum and longi- 

 folium. See "Kew List of New Garden Plants of 1907." I have 

 not seen this. 



eboracense, Bull = Eranthemum tuberculatum. 



eldorado— Eranthemum reticulatum. 



elegans, Masters = Eranthemum acuminatissimum. 



yfa^m=Barleria flava. 



foecundum, Lindley (fig. " Bot. Reg." 18, t. 1494). — Lilac flowers 

 on a terminal simple spike. Of botanical interest only. 



graeiliflorum, Nees in "Wall. PI. As. Rar." hi. 107. — Penang. 

 Leaves elliptic, lanceolate, punctate (under the lens), decussately 

 arranged in pairs, short-petioled ; spikes terminal, about 4 inches 

 long ; flowers decussate ; bracts and calyx very small ; corolla 

 lavender-coloured with a paler blotch on lower lip, under the lens 

 with numerous punctiform red dots ; tube very narrow, 1^ inch 

 long, cylindric in its entire length. Syn. E. punctatum, DC. 

 "Prod." xi. 455; E. malaccense, Clarke, "FL Brit. Ind." iv. 

 p. 498. A very free-flowering species with very pretty flowers ; 

 it is inclined to straggling growth, which can be counteracted 

 by well pinching in the rooted cuttings. Old plants should 

 be thrown away after flowering. 



hypocrateriforme, R. Br., Roem. & Sch. "Sys." ser. 1, 175 ; (fig. 

 "Bot. Mag." t. 6181).— Tropical Africa, West Coast. Shrubby, 

 straggling. Spikes solitary at the end of the branches or crowded 

 on short terminal branches, about 3 inches long, forming a large 

 terminal head ; flowers crimson, bracts very small ; calyx 6 lines 

 long ; corolla tube 1 \ inch long, very slender, cylindric, curved, lobes 

 1 inch in diameter, crimson on face, straw-coloured on back. A 

 very fine species ; in cultivation at Kew and in a few other stoves. 

 It grows to a considerable size. 



indicum, Clarke, "FL Brit. Ind." iv. 497; (fig. "Bot. Mag." t. 

 5062). — Himalayas, 1,000-5,000 feet elevation. Leaves lanceolate, 

 elliptic, short-petioled ; racemes up to 5 inches long, dense ; 

 flowers white, purple-veined, tube ventricose, curved, 1J inch 

 long. Syn. Thyrsacanthus indicus, Nees. As pointed out by 

 Mr. Clarke, the ventricose corolla tube is more that of Thyrsa- 

 canthus than of this genus, but the former is an American genus. 



igneum, "Fl. des Serres "=Chamaeranthemum igneum. 



laxiflorum, A. Gray, "Proc. Amer. Acad." v. 5 (1862), 349: 

 (fig. " Bot. Mag." t. 6336).— Fiji. Cymes few-flowered, axillary ; 

 corolla purplish, hypocrateriform, tube cylindric, about 1 inch 

 long. Not a desirable plant, as I find it difficult to flower well ;
