Names
JUSTICIA andongensis C. B. Clarke [family ACANTHACEAE]
JUSTICIA Betonica S. Moore [family ACANTHACEAE], in Journ. Linn. Soc. xviii. 309, partly.
Information
Branches 18 in. long, with two hairy lines. Leaves 2 1/2 by 3/4 in., cuneate-triangular at either end, glabrous or minutely hairy on the nerves beneath; petiole 0– 1/16 in. long. Spikes, flowers and bracts nearly as of J. Betonica, Linn. Filaments glabrous; pollen with 3 stopples. Style hairy.
Distribution
Angola Lower Guinea Pungo Andongo, Welwitsch, 5111! Malange, Pogge, 301! Amboland, Schinz, 36!
Notes
The leaves of this plant, which are subsessile with both ends nearly alike, do not agree with the Indian J. Betonica. But this may be a form of J. nilgherrensis (Welwitsch, 5043), as S. Moore took it to be.
