Notes
Justicia mollis, E. Meyer, is carried to Monechma; to avoid confusion Krauss' n. 61 is given here a new specific name. The series of plants included by T. Anderson under J. protracta consists of closely-allied plants; the present J. Krausii, with its variety, is exceedingly near J. filifolia, Lindau, and its allies in Mozambique.
