(Acanthaceae), a new variety from Kouigehara in Charmadi Chat, Karnataka State (Western Chats), is described and illustrated. The new variety is very similar to the typical variety R. linifolia var. linifolia in its filiform branches, inwardly curved inflorescence axis, secund, four-ranked spikes with two flowerless bracts and two flowered bracts, lanceolate bracteoles with scarious margins, and superposed anther lobes with the lower one spurred.
