Cult. The perennial species of Zizíphora are very pretty 
rock plants. They should be grown either on rockwork, or in 
small pots well drained with sherds, in any light sandy soil; 
they are readily increased by seeds and cuttings. The seeds of 
annual species only require to be sown in the open ground, in 
April, where they are intended to remain.

Cult. This is a very elegant plant when in blossom. It will 
grow in the open border, and is readily increased by dividing at 
the root, or by seed. In severe winters it is sometimes liable to 
be killed by damp; therefore a reserve plant or two should be 
grown in pots, so that they may be protected by placing them 
under a frame in winter. 
Tribe IV. 
SATUREI'NE/E (so called from containing genera agreeing 
with Saturéia in the characters given below.) Benth. lab. p. 
324. Calyx 5-toothed, equal or bilabiate, with the upper lip 
tridentate, and the lower one bifid. Tube of corolla exannulate 
inside, shorter, or scarcely longer than the imbricate calyx and 
bracteas ; limb of corolla sub-bilabiate : upper lip flat, entire, or 
emarginately bifid: lower lip spreading, trifid, with flat, nearly 
equal lobes ; or the middle lobe is rather the broadest. Stamens 
distant, straight, diverging, or scarcely ascending, equal, or the 
upper ones are shorter or abortive. The tetrandrous genera of 
this tribe are intermediate between tribe Menthoide@ and Melis- 
sinee ; but the corolla is more decidedly bilabiate than in the for- 
mer tribe; and the stamens are seldom ascending, as in the lat- 
ter; from most genera of which they are also distinguished by 
the shortness of the tube of the corolla. The diandrous genus 
Cunila connects tribe Monárdece with Melissinee. 
XXXVI. BYSTROPO'GON (from fvw, byo, to close; and 
mwywy, pogon, a beard; the throat of the calyx is closed by 
villi inside.) Benth. lab. p. 324.—Bystropógon species, Lher. 
sert. angl. 19. 
Lin. syst. Didynàmia, Gymnospérmia. Calyx 10-13-nerved, 
campanulate or tubular, equal, 5-toothed ; throat villous inside. 
Corolla with an inclosed tube, and sub-bilabiate limb; upper lip 
erectish, bifid; lower lip spreading, trifid: lobes all flat and 
entire, Stamens 4, erect, distant, shorter than the corolla, didy- 
namous: lower ones the longest; filaments glabrous ; anthers 
2-celled: cells parallel. Disk equal, glandless. Style shortly 
bifid at apex : lobes nearly equal, linear, a little thickened, ob- 
tuse, stigmatiferous at top. Achenia dry, smooth.—Shrubs. 
Flowers small, cymose in the first section; the cymes dichoto- 
mous, subcorymbose, or panicled; in the second section, dis- 
posed in dense spicate whorls. — Bracteas lanceolate or subulate. 
This genus is scarcely distinct from Méntha.

lab. p. 325, Calyx campanulate, 10-nerved. Flowers loosely
