We have frequently seen this plant raised from collections of Mexican seeds, 
wherefore we suppose it to be a common weed in that country. With us it is a 
hardy annual or biennial, growing a foot or two high, flowering from June to 
October, and readily increased by seeds. Se 
Our principal motive for publishing it now is for the purpose of giving a figure 
something better than the very bad one of Willdenow, which is commonly quoted, 
and Mr. Bentham’s amended character of the genus. 
We also profit by the present opportunity to continue that gentleman’s cha- 
racters of Labiatee, comprising all the genera, except those of Ocymoidee, which 
will appear hereafter. oye
