LABIAT/E. XCIV. Norocuzre. 
membranaceous at apex, shortly 5-toothed, 5-nerved ; nerves 
drawn out into subulate, stiff, uncinately revolute awns under 
the top of the calyx. Corolla with an inclosed, exannulate tube ; 
upper lip galeate, very pilose ; lower lip spreading, somewhat 
equally trifid. Stamens 4, ascending, didynamous ; lower 2 the 
longest. Filaments naked at the base ; anthers approximate by 
pairs, 2-celled ; cells at length divaricate. Lobes of style short, 
equal. Achenia dry, truncate at apex, naked. This genus is 
allied to section 4. Phlomidópsis of Phlomis, and particularly to
