Cult. The greater number of the species grow best in a dry 
soil and shady situation; but T. Scórdium and T. lanuginósum 
require a moist boggy soil. All the perennial herbaceous kinds 
are readily propagated by division and by seeds. Most of the 
shrubby species being rather tender require the protection of a 
frame or greenhouse in winter ; and they are readily increased 
by cuttings of young wood. The seeds of annual kinds only 
require to be sown in the open border in spring, where they are 
intended to remain. 
CIX. A’JUGA (said to be from a priv. and Zvyoc, zugos, a 
yoke; in reference to the calyx being equal, not bilabiate; or 
either from Abigo, or from a priv. and Jugo, to yoke; both 
from a supposed power of procuring abortion, which, however, 
the plants do not possess.) Benth. lab. p. 690. A’juga and 
Teiicrium species, Lin. and other authors. — Phleboánthe, Tauch. 
—Bigula and Chame’pithys, Tourn. 
Lin. syst. Didynamia, Gymnospérmia. Calyx ovate or glo- 
bosely campanulate, nearly equal, 5-cleft or toothed. Corolla 
with an inclosed or exserted tube, straight or somewhat spirally 
twisted, usually furnished with a pilose ring inside ; limb bilabi- 
ate; upper lip short, but generally very short, emarginate: 
lower lip elongated, spreading, trifid, having the lateral segments 
oblong, and the middle segment broader, emarginate, or bifid. 
Stamens 4, ascending, usually exserted from the upper lip, didy- 
namous, lower ones the longest ; anthers 2-celled : cells diverg- 
ing or divaricate, at length confluent. Style about equally bifid 
at top; stigmas minute. Achenia reticulately wrinkled.—Annual 
or perennial herbs, usually procumbent or ascending, sometimes 
stoloniferous. Whorls 2 or many-flowered, dense, sometimes 
all axillary, when the floral leaves conform to the cauline 
ones; sometimes the superior whorls are approximate into 
spikes, then the floral leaves are small, and of a different form 
from the cauline ones.
