2. Labisia paucifolia, King & Gamble, n. sp. A small semi- 
herbaceous undershrub, 10 to 15 in. high; the stems striate, round, 
minutely purplish-brown-pubescent, bearing rarely more than 3 to 
4 leaves. Leaves long-petioled, the blade ovate or orbicular-ovate, 
rounded at top into a bluntly acute point, rounded at base and then 
very shortly decurrent; entire or very minutely crenate ; 2-5 to 4 in. 
long, 1-5 to 3in. broad ; main-nerves slender, numerous, more or less 
parallel, joining near the edge ; petiole 1 to 2 in. long, thickened at 
the base and decurrent into the stem. Inflorescence 1'5 to 2'5 in. 
long, consisting of axillary, short-peduncled, rusty-pubescent racemes, 
the flowers reflexed, single or in few -flowered sessile clusters ; pedicels 
•05 to -1 in. long, with short subulate bracts of equal length. Calyx- 
lobes ovate-acuminate, covered without with numerous glands, '075 in. 
long; tube short, about half the length of lobes. Corolla-lobes oblong- 
acuminate, - 125 in. long, glabrous. Stamens closely enfolded ; filaments 
very short ; anthers hastate, long apiculate, glandular warted behind, 
•1 in. long. Ovary rounded, pubescent; style about '04 in. long,

forest at 3,000 to 5,000 feet. 
Besides the characteristic leaves, the acuminate petals and hastate long apiculate 
anthers make this species recognisable, though the leaf-venation resembles that 
of L. puviila.

nently glandular-pitted above and with rusty glandular scales below ,

lar scaly ; main-nerves at right angles to midrib, extremely numerous, 
straight, parallel, anastomosing towards the edge which is slightly 
recurved. Inflorescence a raceme-like rusty-pubescent panicle of single 
flowers or shortly peduncled few-flowered secund corymbs, 8 to 9 in. 
long, the main peduncle about 4 in. ; corymb-peduncles curved, angled, 
•3 to '4 in. long ; bracts very short, subulate ; pedicels striate, about 
■15 in. long ; bracteoles minute. Calyx-lobes ovate, acute, glandular
