near Bathurst, Cunningh.; at the river Macquarie, and in the 
valleys of Lushington and Glen Finlas ex herb. Hook.

linear, with recurved margins, and are, as well as the calyxes, 
green on both surfaces ; calycine teeth length of tube. b. G 
Native of New South Wales, about Port Jackson, on the banks 
of rivulets. Prostanthéra linearis, Sieb. fl. nov. holl. exs. but 
not of R. Br. Angles of branches rough. Leaves an inch long,

Long-leaved Westringia. Clt. 1823. Shrub 1 to 3 feet. ? 
9 W. crA'sRA (R. Br. prod. p. 501.) leaves 3 in a whorl, 
linear-lanceolate, flat, glabrous on both surfaces, as well as the 
calyxes. A. G. Native of tropical New Holland. Allied to

whole plant quite glabrous. Leaves about an inch long. 
Flowers nearly sessile.

whorl, elliptic, flattish, quite glabrous, shining; calyx nearly 
glabrous, having the teeth rather longer than the tube. h.G. 
Native of Van Diemen's Land. This differs from W. rosmari- 
nifórmis in its smoothness, acuter calycine teeth, shorter, 
broader leaves, with the edges almost flat.  Whorls 6-8- 
flowered.

LXVI. MICROCO'RYS (from juxpoc, micros, small; and 
xopvc, korys, a helmet; probably from the upper lip or galea 
of corolla.) R. Br. prod. p. 502. Benth. lab. p. 460. 
Lin. syst. Didyndmia, Gymnospérmia. Calyx campanu- 
late, about 10-nerved, equal, 5-toothed ; throat naked inside. 
Corolla with the tube equal in length to the calyx, naked inside: 
throat widened: limb sub-bilabiate ; upper lip flattish, emargi- 
nately bifid, erectly spreading: lower lip spreading, trifid. Sta- 
mens 4, erect, distant, inclosed in the tube of the corolla: upper 
2 fertile, bearing dimidiate, 1-celled, bearded anthers: lower 2 
sterile, bearing bipartite anthers, the lobes linear, dependent, 
and empty. Style almost equally bifid at top; lobes subulate, 
stigmatiferous at apex.—Shrubs, with the habit of Westringia. 
Leaves 3 in a whorl. Flowers small, white or purple, solitary 
in the axils of the floral leaves, which are similar to the cauline 
leaves, and, like them, 3 in a whorl. 
1 M. virea'ra (R. Br. prod. p. 502.2? Benth. lab. p. 461.) 
leaves oblong-linear, obtuse, and are, as well as the calyxes, 
glabrous; bracteas caducous; corolla hairy outside. p. G 
Native of New Holland, on the south coast; and in boggy 
places at King George's Sound. 
Twiggy Microcorys. Shrub. 
2 M. sarsa‘ta (R. Br. prod. p. 502.) leaves linear, obtuse, 
glabrous; calyxes and corollas hairy outside; bracteas cadu- 
cous. h.G. Native of New Holland, on the south coast, 
R. Br.; at King George’s Sound, ex herb. Hook. Very nearly 
allied to M. virgata, but differs from it in the calyxes being 
densely villous, &c. E 
Bearded-flowered Microcorys. Shrub.

Tribe VIII. 
NEPETEZ (the genera contained in this tribe agree with 
Népeta in the characters given below.) Benth. lab. p. 462. 
Calyx equal, oblique, or sub-bilabiate ; upper teeth the largest. 
Corolla inclosed or exserted ; throat usually inflated ; upper lip 
rather arched: lower lip spreading. Stamens 4, didynamous, 
ascending or diverging, the upper ones the longest. The whole 
of this tribe may not inappropriately be considered as a single 
genus, ex Benth. 
LXVII. LOPHA'NTHUS (from Aoóoc, lophos, a crest ; and 
av0oc, anthos, a flower; in allusion to the crenated or crested 
middle lobe of lower lip of corolla.) Benth. in bot. reg. vol. 15. 
lab. p. 462.  Hyssópus species of authors. 
Lin. syst. Didyndmia, Gymnospérmia. Calyx tubular, 15- 
nerved, rather incurved, with an oblique, 5-toothed mouth : su- 
perior teeth rather the longest. Corolla having the tube equal- 
ling the calyx, naked inside; and the limb bilabiate ; the upper 
lip erectish, emarginately bifid: lower one spreading a little, 
trifid, the middle lobe broadly crenated. Stamens 4, didyna- 
mous, distant or divaricate : lower ones the shortest; anthers 
2-celled : cells parallel, at length rather diverging. Style 
shortly bifid at apex; lobes nearly equal, subulate, stigmatifer- 
ous at apex. Achenia dry, smooth, naked. 
Secr. I. Curasta’npra (probably from yew, cheio, to scatter 
abroad, and aynp avdpoc, aner andros, a male; perhaps from si 
inequality of the stamens.) Benth. lab. p. 462. —Whorls col- 
lected into terminal spikes. Upper stamens declinate: lower 
ones ascending. Leaves entire. 
1 L. umricróLIUs (Benth. lab. p. 462.) glabrous ; lenya 
cordate-ovate, crenated, green on both surfaces ; spikes dense,
