shrubs; in the first section clothed with floccose wool, and in 
the second section green. Leaves wrinkled. Whorls many- 
flowered, axillary, propped by bracteas, rarely naked. Corollas 
in the first section yellow or purple; but in the second section 
purple or white. 
Secr. I. Eurnro' wis (from ev, eu, well; and phlomis ; so 
called because this section is supposed to contain the true spe- 
cies of the genus.) Benth. lab. p. 622. Galea of corolla large, 
incumbent, tomentose, rarely villous, shortly somewhat bearded 
inside and along the margins ; lateral segments of the lower lip 
small, furnished each with a lanceolate, or ovate, truncate, small 
appendage; the middle lobe large, very broad, rounded, emar- 
ginate, or somewhat 2-lobed. 
§ 1. Lycunris (from Avxvoc, lychnos, a lamp; down used for 
making wicks.) Benth. lab. p. 623. Plant suffruticose. Floral 
leaves broadly dilated at the base, clasping the flowers. 
1 P. rycunrris (Lin. spec. p. 819.) suffruticose, clothed with 
hoary tomentum ; leaves sessile, oblong-linear, narrowed at both 
ends, stem-clasping, wrinkled ; floral leaves very broad at the 
base; bracteas subulate, and are, as well as the calyxes, clothed 
with silky pili, with short subulate teeth. h.H. Native of 
Europe, in the region of the Mediterranean, in dry places ; as 
of Spain, South of France, North of Italy.? Sims. bot. mag. 
999. 
Stems numerous, simple, rising from a woody base. Cauline 
leaves 2-3 inches long, and scarcely 4 lines broad, green or 
canescent above, very veiny, and clothed with white tomentum 
beneath. Corolla yellow, twice as long as the calyx. The dry 
leaves of this sort are used for wicks ; hence its specific name, 
and its Spanish one of Candelera.
