    Abstract

    The much disregarded Leonotis nepetifolia (L.) R. Br. var. africana (P. Beauv.) J.K. Morton (Lamiaceae), hitherto known only from Africa, is described and illustrated from Greater Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. The present report extends its distribution to Asia. Some critical notes on diagnostic features are added for greater clarity to discern var. africana from the var. proper.

    中文摘要

    備受忽視的非洲海膽花（Leonotis nepetifolia var. africana，唇形科）迄今僅知分布於非洲。本文描述並繪圖說明自印度安得拉邦的Greater Hyderabad所發現之該物種；並將該種的分布範圍擴展至亞洲。此變種與其正種的主要的特徵也於本文中描述以利更清楚地辨別兩者。
