Var. B, minor (Benth. lab. p. 699.) ©.H. Native of Syria,

floral leaves similar to the others, exceeding the flowers ; whorls 
2-flowered. (2. H. Native of Middle and South Europe ; also

it abounds in Kent and Surrey, but otherwise a scarce plant.

The whole plant has a highly aromatic odour, and was much es- 
teemed in the same disorders as Teucrium Botrys, and was an in- 
gredient in the Portland powder. :

herbaceous, glabrous ; leaves dilated at the base, deeply trifid, 
with linear, quite entire lobes : floral leaves similar to the others ; 
whorls 2-flowered ; calycine teeth lanceolate, obtuse, glabrous. 
©.? H. Native of Sicily and Syria. Teùcrium levigàtum, 
Russ. nat. hist. alepp. 2. p. 255. This differs from the preced- 
ing by its being glabrous, and by the flowers being twice the 
size ; and from A. Chia by its being glabrous.

Sect. IIl Psrvpoanisémexes (so called from the species 
having the habit of the genus Anisémeles, with the anthers of 
Ajuga. False Anisomeles.) Benth. lab. p. 700. Whorls 2-6- 
flowered. Upper lip of corolla hardly thrice as short as the 
lower lip. Australian plants. The two species have the calyx, 
corolla, and nearly the habit of Znisómeles, with the anthers of 
A'juga. The achenia have not been secn. 
27 A.? vinaa'ra (Benth. lab. p. 700.) stems elongated, twiggy, 
nearly simple ; leaves oblong: cauline leaves coarsely serrated, 
somewhat canescently villous: floral leaves quite entire, exceed- 
ing the calyxes ; whorls distant, 2-6-flowered, disposed in long 
racemes; tube of corolla inclosed. %.? G. Native of New 
Holland, in the interior, at the river Lachlan, Cunningham. 
Stems pubescent. Leaves almost of Anisémeles; lower ones 
petiolate; upper ones sessile, narrow at the base, 1-2 inches 
long. Flowers nearly sessile. 
Tniggy Bugle. Pl. 1 to 13 foot. 
28 A.? rripenta‘ra (Benth. lab. p. 701.) stems elongated, 
‘twiggy, simple; cauline leaves oblong, petiolate: floral leaves 
sessile, ovate, trifid at apex, exceeding the flowers ; whorls dis- 
tant, 2-6-flowered, disposed in long racemes; tube of corolla 
exserted. %.? G. Native along with the preceding, Cunning- 
ham. Whorls occupying the larger part of the stem, usually 2- 
flowered. Flowers nearly sessile. Calyx glabrous or pubes- 
cent, campanulate, deeply 5-toothed. This differs from the pre- 
ceding in the smaller calyxes, larger corollas, and tridentate floral 
leaves. 
Tridentate-leaved Bugle. Pl. 1 to 14 foot. 
+ A species not sufficiently known. 
29 A. repens (Roxb. fl. ind. 3. p. 2.) biennial, procumbent, 
villous; leaves oblong-lanceolate, narrowed into the petioles at 
the base, coarsely and unequally serrated ; spikes terminal, cy- 
lindrical ; bracteas oblong, ventricose, 5-flowered, therefore the 
whorls are 10-flowered. ¢.G. Native of the East Indies, in 
the province of Chittagong. A robust diffuse plant, having the 
lower branches generally radicant. 
Creeping Bugle. Pl. robust.

Most of the species belonging to section Bágula require a

flowers being disposed in cymes.) Benth. in bot. reg. vol. 15. 
lab. p. 705. 
Lin. syst. Didynàmia, Gymnospérmia. Calyx nearly globose, 
about 10-nerved, equal, 5-toothed; throat coarctate, naked inside. 
Corolla with a subexserted straight tube and a bilabiate limb ; 
lips nearly equal; upper lip erect, entire, arched; lower lip 
spreading, trifid, having the middle segment entire. Stamens 4, 
ascending under the lower lip, didynamous; lower ones the 
longest ; anthers 2-celled: cells at length divaricate. Upper 
lobe of style very short ; stigmas minute. Achenia dry, wrin- 
kled.—Shrubs. Flowers small, cymose ; cymes racemose. This 
genus resembles Craniótome and Plectranthus in habit; yet the 
rugose achenia, less deeply separated than in most Labiate,
