Cult. The species are free growers, and flowerers. Any 
light rieh earth will answer them; and cuttings readily strike 
root, with a hand-glass placed over them.

Steud. nom. p. 413. Stem rather hairy. Leaves nearly ses- 
sile, 2-6-inches long, ovate, obtuse, crenulated, cuneated at the

spike bractea-formed, equalling the calyxes. Spikes oblong or

Native of Mexico, Karwinski. Branches nearly simple, villous. 
Leaves petiolate : lower ones ovate : superior ones oblong ; all 
obtuse, crenated, sub-cordate at the base; lower floral leaves 
almost similar to the others, sessile: the upper ones small and 
bractea-formed. Whorls 6-10-flowered. Corolla like L. spicata, 
but a little longer. 
Procumbent Lepechinia. Pl. procumbent. j 1 
Cult. The species of Lepechinia should be grown in pots in a 
rich open earth, or one composed of equal parts of peat sand 
and loam. They require the protection of a frame or green- 
house in winter, and are readily increased by division and seeds, 
and even by cuttings.
