divaricatis. Discus æqualis, carnosus, stipitatus, fructifer longe 
stipitatus. Stylus bifidus, e galea breviter exsertus. Nucule 
supra discum longe stipitatum impositz, ample, trigone, apice 
truncate et puberule, gynophoro breviores.— Herba erecta, 
ramosa, urticifolia, verticillastris dense paucifloris axillaribus, 
bracteis minutis aculeiforinibus. 
The remarkably elongated lower or anterior lip of the calyx and 
a gynophore as long or longer than the ripe nutlets are the chief 
distinguishing characters of this genus. In the fruiting-stage 
the dry rigid calyx is distinctly 8-nerved ; five of the nerves being 
very prominent and terminating in the prickly teeth, with three 
intermediate, much slenderer nerves terminating in the three 
anterior notches. These three nerves are very obscure in ihe 
flowering-stage. Loxocalyx we place provisionally near Otostegia 
and Roylea.
