2. M, pubuscens (downy), Ji. Br. Broil. 441 ; Benth. FI. Austr. iv. 488. 
Very nearly allied to M Jiorihunda, and, as far as could be ascertained in the few 
specimens seen, with the same nearly sessile flowers calyx and corolla, but the 
whole plant hoary with a short soft pubescence. — Benth. in DC. Prod. x. 385;

3. 1VX. glabra (without hairs), R. Br. Prod. 441 ; Benth. FI. Austr. iv. 488. 
Stems from a perennial stock erect, usually branched, rather slender, ^ to 1ft. 
high, glabrous or with a minute almost granular pubescence on the upper parts 
and flowers. Leaves sessile, linear or linear-lanceolate, entire or with very few 
small teeth, A to lin. long. Flowers in the upper axils, on slender pedicels, 
sometimes short at fii’st but at length much longer than the calyx. Calyx not 
2 lines long, deeply divided into narrow segments. Corolla above Ain. long, the 
tube twice as long as the calyx, the lips broad, the upper one truncate, the lower 
3-lobed, both much shorter than the tube. Capsule shortly acuminate. — Benth. 
in DC. Prod. x. 385.

10. LIMNOPHILA, R. Br. 
(Found in wet places.) 
Calyx divided to the base or below the middle into 5 narrow segments, all 
eifual or nearly so. Corolla tubular at the base, the upper lip broad, entire, 
notched or shortly 2-lobed, the lower one spreading, 3-lobed. Stamens 4, in 
pairs; anthers 2-celled, with the cells quite separate and somewhat stipitate. 
Style deflected at the summit, with 2 short flat stigmatic lobes, scarcely winged 
at the bend. Capsule broadly ovoid or oblong, usually obtuse, opening in 4 
valves, leaving the dissepiment entire at least at the base, bearing the placentas 
on its faces, thus forming as it were two wings to the undivided placental 
column. Seeds numerous, small, striate and transversely reticulate. — Herbs 
usually growing in marshes or shallow water, glabrous or slightly pubescent, 
usually scented and marked with pellucid dots. Leaves opposite or whorled, 
toothed or deeply cut, the submerged ones in some species divided into numerous 
capillary segments. Flowers solitary in the axils, tiie upper ones sometimes 
forming a terminal raceme. Bracteoles linear, close under the calyx. 
A considerable, genus, chiefly tropical, and limited to the Old World. 
Lower leaves (or all) deeply divided. Flowers pedicellate. Calyx -segments 
1-nerved .... i 1 . L. gratioloides 
Leaves all undivided. Flowers pedicellate. Calyx-segments several-nerved, 
striate. Glabrous 2. L. punctata. 
1. L. gratioloides (Gratiola-like), II. Br. Prod. 442; Benth. FI. Austr. iv. 
489. Stems from a creeping base, ascending or erect, usually about 6in. high, 
but sometimes very short decumbent and branched, or drawn up into simple 
stems of 1 to 2ft., the whole plant glabrous. Leaves mostly opposite, but the 
lower ones usually divided to the base into narrow toothed or pinnatifid segments 
so as to appear whorled, and when under water cut up into numerous capillary 
segments or lobes ; the upper ones sometimes, or very rarely nearly all, undivided, 
sessile, linear or lanceolate and slightly toothed, all under lin. long and usually 
about Ain. Pedicels in the upper axils longer than the calyx and usually exceed- 
ing the leaves. Bracteoles small. Calyx usually under 2 lines long at the time 
of flowering, the segments lanceolate, acuminate, broad at the base especially 
after flowering, membranous and 1-nerved. Corolla blue, with the centre yellow
