species, Lam. et Juss. 
Lin. syst.  Didynàmia, Gymnospérmia. Calyx campanulate, 
10-nerved, obliquely bilabiate ; upper lip broad, shortly triden- 
tate ; lower lip bifid, with pilose sinuses. Tube of corolla slen- 
der, exserted, ascending, naked inside, and the throat a little 
dilated ; upper lip erect, galeate, keeled, entire; lower lip short, 
dependent, with oblong, erectish, lateral lobes, and a spreading, 
emarginately bifid middle lobe. Stamens 4, didynamous, ascend- 
ing; lower two longest; filaments toothless at the base, gla- 
brous, but shortly bifurcate at apex, the upper fork subulate,

approximate by pairs, 2-celled : cells divaricate. . Style shortly 
quadrifid at apex, with nearly equal subulate lobes, which are 
stigmatiferous at top. Achenia large, orbicular, a little com- 
pressed. This genus has most of the characters of Prunélla, 
with the corolla of Scutellària.

Cult. The seeds of Clednia should be sown in autumn, and 
the plants will come up the following spring; as seeds sown in 
the spring frequently take a whole year to vegetate. 
LVIII. SCUTELLA‘RIA (from scutella, a little saucer; in

sida, Tourn. inst. t. 84. Moench. 
Li. syst. Didynàmia, Gymnospérmia. Calyx campanulate, 
bilabiate ; lips entire, from the coalition of the sepals, closed 
after the falling of the corollas, and at length cleft even to the 
base : superior lip furnished with a dilated scale at top, which is 
concave above, falling away at maturity: lower lip permanent. 
Tube of corolla much exserted, naked inside, straight or usually 
recurvedly ascending beyond the calyx, dilated into the throat 
above; limb bilabiate; upper lip entire at apex, or emarginate ; 
lower lip spreadingly dilated, convex, emarginate at apex; the 
lateral lobes sometimes free and spreading, but usually joined to 
the upper lip, rarely to the lower lip. Stamens 4, ascending un- 
der the galea, didynamous ; the 2 lower ones the longest. An- 
thers approximate by pairs, ciliated, those of the lower stamens 
dimidiate, and those of the superior stamens 2-celled, cordate ; 
cells sub-divarieate. Superior lobe of style very short; lower 
one stigmatiferous at top. Ovarium oblique, elevated upon the 
incurved gynophore. Achenia dry, naked, tubercled, glabrous 
or clothed with adpressed tomentum.—Annual or perennial 
herbs, rarely shrubs. Inflorescence sometimes tetragonally spi- 
cate, with membranous, sub-imbricated coloured floral leaves ; 
sometimes racemose, with small floral leaves ; sometimes axillary, 
with the floral leaves almost similar to the cauline leaves. Pe- 
duncles solitary, 1-flowered in the axils of the floral leaves, 
short, usually opposite, except in sect. Heteranthésia, in which 
both the floral leaves and flowers are scattered. Bracteas almost 
wanting. Corollas blue or yellow, rarely purple or scarlet.
