of Ballóta nigra, or Black Horehound, which is derived from 
Barw, ballo, to emit; rejected by cattle on account of the 
offensive smell.) Benth. lab. p. 592.  Ballóta and Marrübium, 
species of Lin. and other authors. Beringéria, Necker. Pseu- 
dodictamnus, Tourn. and Meench. 
Lin. syst. Didynàmia, Gymnospérmia. Calyx somewhat fun- 
nel shaped ; tube 10-nerved ; teeth 5-10, dilated at the base or 
combined into an orbicular spreading limb. ^ Corolla having 
the tube a little inclosed, with a transverse pilose ring inside, 
and a bilabiate limb; upper lip erect, oblong or subconcave, 
emarginate at apex ; lower lip spreading, trifid, middle lobe emar- 
ginate. Stamens 4, ascending, didynamous; lower ones the 
longest; anthers exserted from the tube of the corolla, approxi- 
mating by pairs, 2-celled : cells at length divaricate, and nearly 
distinct. Style bifid at apex, with subulate lobes, which are 
stigmatiferous at apex. — Achenia dry, obtuse at apex, not trun- 
cate.—Perennial, hairy, woolly, or tomentose herbs. Leaves 
wrinkled, usually cordate at the base, entire or crenated, never 
cut; floral ones almost similar. Whorls axillary, many rarely
