by; leaves crenate, fmooth; fpikes terminating, four-cor¬ 
nered; brake's ovate, imbricate, in four rows, keeled, cili- 
ate. Branches roundifh, fmooth,oppofite. Leaves pctioled, 
about a lpan in length, much attenuated at the bafe, de¬ 
current along the petiole, nerved, obfeurely veined, a lit¬ 
tle attenuated at the tip, fmooth on botli fides, except 
along the midrib and larger veins, not at all foft. It was 
lent from Cayenne by von Rohr as the J. pulcherrima of 
Jacquin, with which it agrees in the leaf and corolla; but 
the leaves are not foft to the touch underneath, the fpikes 
are terminating and folitarv, not axillary two or four toge¬ 
ther, the bractes ovate, not lubcordate-round, theantherae 
final 1 and fmooth, not very large, and villofe at the back ; 
nor has von Rohr mentioned any thing of the inner braftes 
and racliis being tomentofe. It differs from the J. pul¬ 
cherrima of Linnaeus in the fmootlinefs of the branches, 
and in the leaves not being hoary with foft hairs under¬ 
neath, nor quite entire. It is certainly different from the 
J. pulcherrima of Vahl’s fecond part. 
20. Juflicia coccinea, or fcarlet-flowered jufticia : fhrub- 
by ; leaves and brafles elliptical, acuminate ; upper lip un¬ 
divided ; antherae parallel, Stem fix feet high, nearly ereft, 
round, covered by a fmooth brown bark, cracking longi¬ 
tudinally. Flowers large, handfome, fcarlet, becoming^ 
tawny in decay. This is the large!! fpecies, at leal! ot 
thofe that are cultivated here, and grows in the hot-houfe 
almoft to the fize of a tree. The flowers are only to be 
found on old plants. The leaves, when bruifed, have an 
herbaceous fmell,' like fome trefoils ; the flowers have no 
fmell. Native of South America. Found by Aublet on 
the banks of rivers in the ifland of Cayenne, flowering in 
October, November, and December. Here it flowers in 
fummer. Introduced about 1770.

gated ; fpikes terminating, leafy; flow'ers in whorls; brafles

the Eaft Indies. 
24. Jufticia procumbens, or procumbent jufticia : herba¬ 
ceous ; fiem procumbent; leaves lanceolate, quite entire ; 
fpikes axillary and terminating ; calyxes four-cleft. This 
varies with fhorter denfer hairy fpikes, figured by Plukenet 
in t. 392. f. 4; and with longer narrower fmooth fpikes, 
figured by the fame author in t. 56. f. 3 ; with fnialler 
rounder leaves, the ftems branching very much and dif- 
fufed.the ftem more upright, or the leaves lanceolate. Bur- 
man fays that his fpecimens agree with Hort. Malab. 10. 
t. 94. and Pluk. phyt. t. 392. f. 4. (in which the fpikes 
are longer,) in figure, more ovate leaves, and feflile imbri¬ 
cate fhorter incraffated fpikes. Native of Ceylon and Java.

fmooth ; leaves three inches long, broad-ovate, fmooth, 
quite entire, on a petiole only two lines in length, chan¬

ovate, painted ; fpikes axillary and terminating ; flowers 
in whorls, upper lip bifid ; antherae parallel. Stem ftriated, 
eight feet high, the thicknefs of the human arm ; with af¬ 
eending, whitifh, even, brittle branches. Leaves quite 
entire, fhining, petioled, oppofite, dufky green, beautifully 
marked with a long, white, lucid, finuated, fpot in the mid¬ 
dle, whence the trivial name ; the lateral ribs are parallel 
and oblique. Flowers in fliort fpikes. Calyx five-cleft, 
acute, fliort, permanent. Native of the Eaft: Indies. 
29. Jufticia nitida, or neat juflicia ; fhrubby; leaves el. 
liptic* acuminate ; racemes fpike-form, whorled ; braftes 
minute; pedicels and calyxes fmooth; antherae parallel. 
It has the habit of J. variegata, Aubl. Guian. t. 4. which 
differs however in having feflile leaves, flowers in fpikes, 
peduncles and calyxes rough-haired. Jacquin fays, that 
it very much refembles J. hirfuta; and that, befides the 
two fertile ltamens, there are at the bottom of the corolla 
two barren filaments, which Vahl could not difeover. Na¬ 
tive of the Wei! Indies; as Martinico, Guadaloupe, and 
Santa Cruz. 
30. Jufticia ftrifiia, or narrow jufticia : herbaceous; 
leaves lanceolate-elliptic; racemes axillary, two-parted, 
pointing one way, filaments ; fmooth. It differs from 
the next fpecies, to which ir approaches in habit, by a 
ftem three times the thicknefs, longitudinally grooved, 
broader leaves on long petioles ; peduncles three times 
fhorter than the leaves, once bifid ; flow'ers oppofite, longer 
than the calyxes, and bracked at the bafe, and fmooth fila¬ 
ments. Native of Malabar.

the fides. Leaves like thofe of J. peftoralis, an inch and a 
half long, attenuated to both ends, ending in a very fliort 
petiole, quite entire, fmooth, bluntifh. "it differs from 
the other fpecies, in having capfules comprefled flat, and 
of the fame breadth from end to end. Native of the Eaft 
Indies.

leaves toothed ; racemes terminating, nodding at top ; 
flowers inverted. Stem roundifh, fmooth, very finely ftri¬

upper lip upright, bifid ; antherae divaricating. Stem 
fiirubby, fomewhat angular, three feet or more in height,

pure white, inodorous ; calycine leaflets lanceolate, entire, 
permanent; thefe, as well as the whole of the plant, are 
befet with minute tranfparent globules, vifible with a 
magnifier. It produces almoft the year through abundance 
of flowers, diftinguiflied not iefs for their Angularity than 
their fnowy whitenefs. The bruifed leaves are ufed in the 
Eaft Indies, where it is a native, for the cure of cutane¬ 
ous eruptions. Introduced into the Royal Garden at Kewr 
fince the publication of the Catalogue in 1789.

leaves lanceolate, bluntifh; flowers axillary, oppofite; an-
