Crısıa differs from its nearest co-ordinate VERBASCUM in 
having four instead of five stamens; according to Schrader, 
a stable mark and of influence sufficient to keep the two 
groups naturally apart, notwithstanding their close agree- 
ment in most other respects. 
We have not found any mention of the species except 
in the above-cited work of Jacquin. "There are no speci- 
mens of it in the Banksian Herbarium. Jacquin, who first 
observed it in the gardens of Vienna, had not learned 
from whence it came. In general appearance the inflores- 
cence comes nearest to that of Cesta Arcturus, but the 
foliage of sublonata is alternate and otherwise distinct, 
and bears a greater resemblance to that of Cexsia betonice- 
folia than to any other, as far as we can judge from a de- 
scription by Desfontaines and a costly engraving by M. 
Robert.
