are therefore excluded. 
Cult. "The species are of easy culture and propagation, grow- 
ing freely in any soil; and are readily increased by dividing at 
the root. The M. punctàta and M. aristata are more shy of 
cultivation than the others; and for this reason it is safer to 
grow them in pots, in a mixture of peat and sand. 
XXXIII BLEPHILIA (probably from fXeóapie, blepharis, 
the eye-lash, in allusion to the ciliated bracteas.) Rafin. ex 
Benth. lab. p. 319. Monárda species of Lin. and other au- 
thors. 
Lin. syst. | Diándria, Monogynia. Calyx ovate-tubular, 13-

exannulate inside; the throat dilated, and the limb bilabiate : 
lips nearly equal: the upper one erect and entire: the lower 
one spreading and trifid : the lateral lobes ovate-roundish, and 
the middle one narrower, oblong, retuse and emarginate. Rudi- 
ments of upper stamens wanting, or small and filiform: lower 
two fertile, ascending, exserted from the upper lip of the co- 
rolla ; filaments toothless, inserted in the throat of the corolla ; 
anthers linear, somewhat 2-celled, with connate margins, and 
divaricate confluent cells. Style equally bifid at top; stigmas 
minute, terminal. Achenia dry, smooth.— Herbs, with a habit
