Doubtful Species 
O. fasciculata Don, Prod. FL Nep. 136?; King , l.c. 1 73. 
Herb, 10 to 14 in. tall, puberulous. Leaves very unequal 
narrow-elliptic, sub-acute, base cuneate, glabrous above 
midrib and 9 to 11 pairs of nerves and reticulations puberulous 
beneath ; large leaves 5 to 6 in. long, 1*5 to 2 in. wide; smaller 
•8 to 2-5 in. long, -85 to 1*5 in. wide; petioles -2 to *8 in. long. 
Stipules -15 in. long, subulate, bases dilate. Cymes 1 or 2 
to 3 together, ebracteate terminal puberulous ; branches 
shorter than peduncles. Flowers under -25 in. long. Calyx 
narrow campanulate. Corolla -2 in. long, cylindric inflated, 
base mouth expanded. Capsules obreniform glabrous, -25 in. 
across. Hab. Perak (Kunstler, Wray) fide King. 
I have not seen the specimens quoted by King, but his description does 
not fit with O. fasciculata Don, which has remarkably long bracts and a long 
corolla. 
O. Mungos Linn . ; King, l.c. 174, is probably a mixture of several 
species. The real 0. Mungos Linn, is an endemic Ceylon 
plant, very distinct.
