woolly from adpressed pili ; branches elongated, erect, a little 
branched; leaves few, linear, quite entire ; whorls 2-flowered ; 
bracteas shorter than the calyxes; calyx tubularly campanulate, 
with spinose teeth, which exceed the tube of the corolla. Y.? 
H. Native of Greece, Zuccarini. Branches almost naked. 
Leaves scarcely an inch long, acutish : floral leaves small, ses- 
sile, lanceolate. Calyxes sessile.

dense silky wool; leaves oblong-elliptic, narrowed at both ends, 
scarcely crenulated, wrinkled : floral leaves smaller: upper flo- 
ral leaves shorter than the whorls; whorls many-flowered, the 
uppermost ones approximating into a spike; bracteas linear- 
lanceolate, about equal in length to the calyxes; calyx incurved, 
with scarcely unequal acute mutic teeth which are woolly inside ;

13 S. Ira'rrcA (Mill, dict. no. 3.) erect, clothed with hoary 
tomentum; leaves nearly sessile or on short petioles, oblong- 
lanceolate, narrow, obtuse, crenulated, narrowed at the base, 
rarely subcordate, wrinkled : floral leaves ovate-lanceolate, quite

15 S. rroccósa (Benth. lab. p. 739.) herbaceous; stem tall, 
clothed with dense floccose wool; cauline leaves petiolate, ovate- 
lanceolate, obtuse, crenated, cordate at the base, clothed with soft 
villi above, and dense white floccose wool beneath: lower floral 
leaves crenulated : superior ones lanceolate, quite entire, pun- 
gent, rather shorter than the calyxes; whorls many-flowered, 
distinct, racemose: upper ones approximate ; bracteas lanceo- 
late, equalling the calyxes ; calyx a little incurved, with acute 
pungent teeth, which are rather woolly inside, the upper teeth 
the largest; tube of corolla inclosed. 2/. H. Native of the 
North of India, on the mountains near Hirpur, Jacquemont. 
This species differs from its nearest allies, S. Germánica and $$. 
lanáta, in the leaves being deeply cordate at the base, and in the 
wool of the stem and lower surfaces of the leaves being dense 
and floccose, not long and silky. 
Floccose Woundwort. Pl. 1 to 3 feet. z 
16 S. atrrna (Lin. spec. p. 812.) herbaceous, tall; stem 
erect, pilose, rather woolly ; leaves petiolate, ovate, serrately 
crenated, cordate at the base, green on both surfaces, villous : 
floral Jeaves narrower, gradually becoming smaller as they as- 
cend, acute, serrated ; whorls all remote, many-flowered ; brac- 
teas linear, about equal in length to the calyxes; calyx rather 
pilose, with lanceolate-ovate acute spinose teeth ; corolla woolly 
outside, about twice as long as the calyx. %. H. Native of 
the mountainous parts of Europe; as of the Pyrenees, France, 
Switzerland, Upper Italy, Germany, &c. — Lapeyr. fl. pyr. 1. p. 
14, t. 8. Erióstonum alpinum, Hoffm. et Link, fl. port.—Sabb. 
hort. rom. 3. t. 41. This plant varies much in gardens, but is 
at all times readily distinguished from S. Germánica in the 
leaves being green on both surfaces, in the whorls being fewer 
and more remote, and in the raceme being much less woolly. 
Corollas, like those of S$. Germánica, obscure purple, or reddish 
brown. 
Var. D, intermedia (Benth. lab. p. 537.) larger; leaves more 
wrinkled, rather woolly beneath. Y%.H. Native of Caucasus

17 S. sericea (Wall. pl. rar. asiat. 1. p. 64. Benth. lab. p. 
537.) herbaceous, tall; stem erect, very pilose; leaves petio- 
late, ovate or ovate-oblong, bluntish, crenated, cordate at the 
base, villous on both surfaces, green above, pale or hoary beneath,

H. Native of Central Asia, on the mountains ; Caucasus, on 
the Talusch mountains, in woods ; Persia, on the mountains of 
Gilan ; Nipaul, Kamaoon, and Himalaya. S. Pérsica, Gmel. Jun. 
ex Meyer, verz. pflanz. p. 94. Hardly distinct from $. alpina, 
unless in being more villous, and in there being fewer flowers in
