branched, pubescent; leaves ovate, crenated, cuneated at the 
base, or narrowed, wrinkled ; flowers loosely panicled ; fructi-

calyx, canescent.

brous ; stem erect, nearly simple ; leaves ovate, acute, coarsely 
toothed, narrowed a long way at the base ; raceme loose, few- 
flowered ; fructiferous calyx erect, campanulate, glabrous, equ- 
ally 5-toothed. %.? G. Native of Japan, Thunberg. This 
differs from P. amethystoides in the narrower leaves, and simple 
few-flowered raceme.

+ Species doubtful whether belonging to the present genus. 
42 P. satvioipzs (Benth. lab. p. 45.) leaves ovate-oblong, 
crenulated, running into the petioles at the base, and quite 
entire, pilose on both surfaces, ciliated; stem hoary from 
reversed pili at bottom, but beset with glandular clammy villi 
above, as well as the calyxes ; raceme terminal, simple ; bracteas 
roundish-ovate, on short petioles ; lower lip of calyx (superior ?) 
tridentate : middle tooth the smallest. %.? G. Native of the 
East Indies. O'cymum salvioides, Heyne, in Roth. nov. spec.

small, brownish purple, hardly one half longer than the calyx, 
resupinate, villous outside. The inflorescence and form of co- 
rolla is that of O'cymum, but the calyx is very different. It is 
perhaps a species of Moschósma or Perilla. 
Salvia-like Plectranthus. Pl.
