Bean, Revision of Anisomeles

by the stalked glandular hairs on the upper 
stems, rachises and calyces; the sparsely hairy 
leaves; and the much shorter calyx fringe 
hairs. 
Conservation status : A status of Vulnerable, 
criterion D2, is recommended (IUCN 2012). 
Etymology : Named for John Dallachy 
(18087-1871), collector of the type specimen. 
Dallachy was a very well-known botanical 
collector in Victoria, New South Wales and 
Queensland. In the latter state, most of his 
collections are from near Rockingham Bay 
(Cardwell), where he lived from 1864 until his 
death in 1871.

Anisomeles sp. (Agnew J.R.Clarkson 4993); 
Bostock & Holland (2010, 2014). 
Procumbent shrub, or erect or spreading 
shrub, 0.4-1 m high. Upper stems and rachises 
without patent hispid hairs; short curved hairs 
retrorse or no fixed direction, very dense, 
obscuring stem surface at x40 magnification; 
stalked glandular hairs absent. Cauline leaves 
50-100 mm long, 21-40 mm wide, 1.9-3.2 
times longer than wide, base narrowly cuneate 
(< 60°) or attenuate; marginal lobes dentate 
or serrate, regular, 15-20 on each side, acute 
or obtuse, 0.3-1.7 mm deep; petioles 8-14 
mm long, 13-19% of lamina length. Lamina 
upper surface indumentum lanate, tangled, 
0.4-0.7 mm long, dense (hairs < 0.1 mm 
apart) or very dense (obscuring surface at 
x40 magnification), sessile glands 32-96 
mm 2 ; lower surface indumentum lanate, 
tangled, 0.4-0.7 mm long, dense (hairs <0.1 
mm apart) or very dense, obscuring surface 
at x40 magnification; transition from leaves 
to floral bracts abrupt, or gradual. Floral 
bracts elliptical, 8-34 mm long, 4-13 mm 
wide, not consistently exceeding verticils. 
Verticils (inflorescence clusters) overlapping 
near apex or all separated on rachis, cymes 
entirely monochasial or once dichasial at 
base then monochasial, with 6-13 flowers per 
monochasium, peduncles 0-3 mm long on 
lowermost cluster; bracteoles spathulate or 
linear, 3.5-6.1 mm long, 0.3-0.8 mm wide. 
Corolla tube shorter than calyx; annulus 
2.4-3 mm from base of corolla, annulus hairs 
0.15-0.25 mm long; upper lip elliptical, 4.5- 
5.5 mm long, with glandular hairs on outer 
surface; lower lip pink or white, 5.6-73 mm 
long to end of lateral lobes, 10.6-12.5 mm 
long overall, glabrous on platform. Longest 
stamens 11-12.5 mm long from base of corolla 
tube; filament hairs 0.5-0.9 mm long, mainly 
at distal end. Style 11-13 mm long; longer 
stigma lobe 07-0.9 mm long, shorter stigma 
lobe 0.4-0.5 mm long. Fruiting calyces 1-1.6 
mm apart on rachilla; fruiting calyx narrowly 
campanulate or cylindrical, 8.3-97 mm long, 
4-4.9 mm wide at lobe apices, 17-2.4 times 
longer than wide, exterior surface with all 
hairs same size and type, hairs eglandular, 
0.6-1 mm long; lobes acute, 2.5-3.3 mm long. 
Fruiting calyx fringe hairs longer at sinus end 
than at apical end, 0.2-0.35 mm long at apical 
end, 0.8-1.1 mm long at sinus end, sinus hairs 
absent, inner surface of tube with sparse long 
hairs in medial section or glabrous. Nutlets 
2-2.4 mm long. Figs. 3H, 9A.
