Corolla, stamens, and sterile anther and capsule as in S. aquática. 
Smith considers this to be a variety of S. Scoroddnia, but 
Wydler considers it a variety of S. aquática.

stem acute, membranous ; leaves ovate, or elliptic, subcordate 
at the base, crenate-toothed : lower leaves usually appendicu- 
late; lobes of calyx margined with red; genitals inclosed.

sometimes without auricles, but always full of pellucid dots. 
Cymes usually dense-flowered. Corolla blood red. The plant 
is called Water Betony, Brownwort, and Bishop leaves. The 
leaves are recommended medicinally for the same purposes as 
those of S. nodósa; in taste and smell they are similar, but 
weaker. M. Marchant has reported, in the memoirs of the 
French Academy, that this plant is identical with the Equetaia 
of the Brazilians, celebrated as a corrector of the ill flavour of 
senna: the Edinburgh college, in their common infusion of 
that drug, directed two thirds of its weight of water Figwort 
leaves to be joined ; but as they have since discarded this ingre- 
dient, we may presume that it was not found to be of much 
use. The disagreeable smell which attends this plant when 
bruised makes it rejected by cattle in general. Bees collect 
much honey from the flowers.

dular villi: lower branches 3-5-flowered: superior ones 2-3- 
flowered. 2. H. Native of Altaia, on rocks among the 
mountains of Arkaul and Tschingistau; and on the borders of 
the river Tschuja, &c. Said to be nearly allied to S. laciniata, 
but the leaves are never cordate at the base. Stem and branches 
bluntly quadrangular. Corolla and anthers dark purple. Geni- 
tals exserted. Margins of calyxes white, and membranous.

hairs, and longer simple ones. Margins of the segments of the 
calyx membranous. Corolla yellowish-green. Capsule nearly - 
globose, acuminated. ‘The thyrse of this species being leafy, it 
ought to have been placed in the preceding section: the leaves 
of the thyrse are deeply jagged.

Urvilledna, but differs in the lobes of the calyx being broader, 
and in the petioles being dilated.
