quam tubus duplo brevioribus, coroll: lilacinze tubo calycisequilongo, labio 
supremo parvo orbiculari, inferiore majore trilobato, genitalibus inclusis. 
A perennial, branched at the crown of the root, with slender 
simple glabrous stems under half a foot long. Leaves in 4-6 
pairs below the inflorescence, sessile, oblanceolate, 3 in. long, 
narrowed gradually from the middle to the base, moderately firm 
in texture, green and quite glabrous on both surfaces. Racemes 
of 2-3 distant 1-2-flowered whorls; pedicels very short; bracts 
like the leaves in shape and texture. Calyx 4 in. long, funnel- 
shaped, with a few hairs about the teeth; ribs 10, faint. Corolla 
with a tube equalling the calyx; upper lip orbicular, under 4; in. 
long and broad; lower } in. long, with an orbicular unguieulate 
terminal and two oblong erecto-patent side lobes. Stamens and

A branched perennial herb, with slender square glabrous 
stems. Leaves in distant pairs, sessile, oblong or lanceolate, 
4-1 in. long, acute or obtuse, finely serrated, moderately firm in 
texture, green and glabrous on both sides. Racemes of 3-4 
distant whorls, two flowers in each, bracteated by reduced leaves 
at most as long as the calyx; pedicels very short, ascending. 
Calyx + in. long, slightly pilose, with 10 distinct ribs. Corolla 
pilose, with a subcylindrical tube 4 in. long, a small orbicular 
upper lip, and a 3-lobed lower one } in. long. Stamens reaching 
out of the tube into the galeate upper lip of the corolla.— Cen-
