are destitute of the white veins and midrib which charac¬ 
terise our plant: the leaves are also much less acumi¬ 
nated ; and the corolla is represented as of the same length 
as the segments of the calyx, and with an entire upper 
lip. All these are differences which it is difficult to 
account for upon any supposition of the specimens of 
the two plants having been in different states ; but what 
strikes us as the most remarkable peculiarity of the subject 
of these remarks, is the abundance of curious little capitate 
deformed hairs with which every part of the inflorescence, 
except the corolla, is covered; of these, there appear to 
have been no traces in Dr. Hooker’s plant, and they 
are far too numerous and permanent to have been over¬ 
looked. 
Joints of the stem short, tumid in the middle. Leaves 
oblong-lanceolate, very much acuminate, wavy, minutely 
downy, on short stalks, their midrib and venae primariae 
being very pale. Panicle terminal, crowded, all yellow, 
covered in every part, except the corolla, with short, 
capitate, distorted, thickish hairs. Bractece and calycine 
segments subulate, shorter than the corolla. Corolla quite 
smooth, funnel-shaped, shortly 2-lipped; the upper lip 
emarginate; the lower 3-parted, revolute, with nearly 
equal segments. Stamens 2, the length of the orifice, with 
the cells of the anthers parallel. Style smooth, filiform. 
Stigma subclavate, acute, 2-lobed.
