Names
JUSTICIA paucinervia T. Anders. [family ACANTHACEAE], MS.
Information
Stems simple, 8–12 in. long; innovations rusty with moniliform brown hairs. Leaves 3 1/2 by 1–2 in., oblong or ovate, narrowed at either end, nearly glabrous except the nerves; cystoliths numerous on both faces; petiole 1/2–1 3/4 in. long. Spikes terminal, 2 by 1/2 in., very loose, obscurely strobilate; bracts 1/4– 1/3 in. long; obovate, veined, fimbriate, almost lobed at the top, brown-ciliate, scarcely imbricate; bracteoles 0. Sepals 5, scarcely 1/6 in. long, linear, hairy. Corolla 1/3 in. long. Filaments glabrous; one anther cell below the other, tailed; pollen ellipsoid, with 2 longitudinal bands and stopples, no tubercles. Ovary nearly glabrous; style-base somewhat hairy.
Distribution
Gaboon Lower Guinea Sierra del Crystal, Mann, 1672!
Notes
The stem and leaves of this species are unlike those of any other Justicia, but simulate those of Distichocalyx angustifolia, D. polyneura, &c., which grow at the same place.
