anthers 2, filaments quite distinct inserted on the lower lip at the centre of the tube, slightly .hairy particularly at their dilated bases. 
Style slightly hairy, stigma capitate very small, ovary many.seeded. 
This very fine large species only inhabits the ghats in the most southern parts of Tinnevelly and Travancore at 3000-4000 
feet elevation ; it is very abundant in the dense moist forests above Paupanassam and Calead, and is in flower in August and September.

PflLOGACANTHUS ALBIFLORUS. (Bedd.) A large shrub 6-10 feet high, glabrous, leaves lanceolate with rather 
along acumination subentire or obscurely crenately waved, glabrous above, very sparingly hairy on the costa, veins and veinlets beneath, 
about 5 inches long by lb to 2 broad, panicles shorter than the leaves corymbiform, bracts and bracteoles small subulate, flowers pure 
white 14-15 lines long calyx and corol sparingly puberulous, the former of o equal subulate segments, corol tube very short upper lip 
concave entire or very slightly etnarginate at the apex, auricled on both sides at the base on the outside just at the apex the tube, lower 
lip auricled at the base shortly 3 lobed at the apex, hairy inside at the base in the centre, anthers 2, filaments quite distinct inserted on 
the lower lip at the centre of the tube slightly hairy, much dilated below articulated near the apex, and quite black above the articulation 
style slightly hairy ; stigma capitate very small, ovary many seeded, capsule terete striated 2-|-2f- inch long by 2 lines broad many 
seeded, seeds scrobiculate. 
South Tinnevelly mountains 3000-5000 feet elevation, it comes further north than the last species and is abundant at the 
Chinna kal raty on the ascent to the General’s hill near Courtallum, in floumr during the rainy season. It is not so common as the last, 
but I have collected it in several places to the south of Courtallum. I have given very full description and careful analysis (drawn from 
fresh specimens) of these 2 interesting species, as they are perhaps not true Phlogacanthi though agreeing technically with the genus, 
and I do not know where else to refer them ; the articulated filaments of albiflorus are very peculiar, but there is no trace of this articu¬ 
lation in grandis.
