Lin. syst. Didndria, Monogynia. Calyx tubular, elon- 
gated, 13-nerved, villous inside the throat, bilabiate ; upper 
lip tridentate, with mutic teeth. Corolla having the tube hardly 
exserted, and exannulate inside; the throat dilated, and the 
lips nearly equal: upper lip erect, entire: lower one spreading, 
trifid, with rounded lobes, the middle lobe longer and emargi- 
nate. Rudiments of the superior stamens almost wanting: the 
2 lower ones fertile, ascending under the upper lip, and equal in 
length to it, or longer; filaments inserted at the throat of the 
corolla, toothless; anthers linear, somewhat 2-celled, with diva- 
ricate, confluent cells, and subconnate margins. Upper lobe 
of style very short; stigmas minute, terminal. Achenia dry, 
smooth.—Herbs or subshrubs, with a habit between Mondrda 
and Thijmus. Leaves quite entire, or furnished with a few 
minute teeth, lined with diverging veins beneath; floral leaves 
almost similar to the others, but sometimes broader, and some- 
times narrower. Whorls few-flowered, usually approximate at 
the tops of the branches. Pedicels short, flattened, erect. 
Bracteas almost wanting. Flowers intermediate between those 
of Blephilia and Thymus. 
§ 1. Permanent suffruticose plants. 
1 Z.criNoPoprorpzes (Bieb. fl. cauc. 1. p. 17.) suffruticose ; 
leaves ovate-oblong or lanceolate; floral leaves similar to the 
others, or narrower, loose; whorls approximating into a round- 
ish terminal head; calyx clothed with hoary pubescence, or cili- 
ated with a few hairs. kh. F. Native of Armenia, Iberia, 
Caucasus, Siberia, Altaian mountains, in grassy places. Habit 
of a large variety of Thymus serpijllum. Branches diffuse, pur- 
plish, canescent from short tomentum, like the leaves and 
calyxes. Corolla bluish purple. Stamens a little exserted.

broader leaves, longer heads of flowers, and the very hispid 
calyxes; the calycine teeth are also a little longer, the corollas 
usually shorter, and the stamens rarely exserted. Corollas pur- 
plish blue.

Syria and Egypt, Labillardiere. Habit of Z. Hispánica. Flowers

pubescence.
