2. Buchnera ? densijlorai annua simplex scabra, foliis integerrimis raclicalibus ovalibus 
caulinis inferioribus lineari-oblongis obtusis superioribus linearibus acuminatis sursum de- 
crescentibus, spica oblonga pedunculata (a foliis remota) tetragona densa bracteata imbricata, 
bracteis ternis duabus latei’alibus subulatis tertia late ovata acuminata concava ciliata calycem 
5-dentatum estriatum ! eequante, corollae (parvae) tubo subrecto, limbo submqualiter 5-lobo 
lobis oblongis undulatis, capsulis inclusis. 
Hab. Canton; Mr. Millett. 
This agrees in many respects with B.cruciata, Ham. {Benth. Scroph. Ind.p. 41,) but it appears from Mr. 
Bentham’s specific character of the latter, to be quite distinct. The whole plant, as is usual in the genus, 
becomes black by drying. 
SIPHONOSTEGIA. [Benth.) — Peismatanthus, Hook, et Arn. MS. 
Ca/t/rr tubulosus, subcoloratus, decemstriatus, versus faucem paullum angustatus; limbo 
subsequaliter quinquepartito, laciniis oblongo-linearibus, duabus superioribus rectis, tribus 
inferioribus deflexis. Corolla ringens, tubo angusto calycem tequante : labium superius 
rectum, indivisum, concavum; inferius trilobum, subdeflexum. Stamina quatuor, didy- 
nama, ascendentia, sub labio superiore posita. Antlierce incumbentes, loculis discretis 
parallelis basi acutis muticis. Stylus rectiusculus simplex. Stigma capitatum, subbilobum. 
“ Capsula oblonga recta, valvulis integris.” Benth. — Herba erecta, ramosa, cano-pubescens. 
Folia subopposita, circumscriptione triangularia, basi in petiolum attenuata^ ^i-partita, seg- 
' mentis lateralibus divaricatis, omnibus inciso-pinnatifidis. Rami fiorigeri simplices. Folia 
floralia minus dissecta quam caulina, inferiora alterna, superior a opposita. Flores axillares, 
solitarii, breve pedicellati, bracteolis duabus sub calyce parvulis, linearibus. Calyx fere 
Lythri seu Cuphese at elongato-ampullaceus. Corolla purpurea. 
1. S. Chinensis. [Benth.) (Tab. XLIV.) — Prismatanthus bartsioides. Hook, et Arn. 
olim, in Herb. Henslow. 
Hab. Macao and the adjacent islands; Rev. G. H. Vachell, n. 184, 
This approaches very much in character to Bartsia, from which it is distinguished by the calyx, and to 
Pedicularis, from which it is separated by the corolla and calyx. In habit it is not allied to any genus with 
which we are acquainted.
