1036 LAMIACEAE 
bracts, disposed in terminal contracted panicles. Calyx very irregular, ringent: tube 
densely bearded with white hairs in the throat and closed by them at maturity, 2-lipped : 
lobes cuspidate, those of upper lip short and broad, those of the lower lip more elongated. 
Corolla blue or purple: tube pubescent within, 2-lipped: upper lip 2-lobed : lower lip 
spreading, ample, 3-lobed, the middle lobe 2-lobed. Stamens 2, with a transverse connec- 
tive, lower branches with more or less polleniferous anther-sacs.  Staminodia 2, some- 
times 2-toothed at the apex. Nutlets subglobose. 
1. Salviastrum Texànum Scheele. Stems hirsute, commonly tufted, erect or ascend- 
ing, 1-3 dm. tall, simple or branched : leaf-blades linear or linear-oblanceolate at the base of 
the stem, entire or rarely few-toothed : panicles 4-15 cm. long, continuous or interrupted : 
calyx 7-10 mm. long; tube campanulate, the upper lip with 3 cuspidate teeth, the lower 
lobes lanceolate, acuminate : corolla blue, 2 cm. long ; tube barely as long as the calyx ; 
lips longer than the tube, the upper notched, the lower 3-lobed, the middle lobe reniform, 
deeply notched : style glabrous: nutlets 2.5 mm. long, somewhat shining.

23. MONARDA L. 
Annual or usually perennial caulescent herbs, with glabrous or pubescent foliage.

purple, sometimes variegated, 2-lipped : tube glabrous within, often puberulent or glandu- 
lar without, dilated into a throat: upper lip narrow, erect or arched, entire or notched : 
lower lip spreading, 3-lobed, the middle lobe much longer than the lateral. Anther-bear- 
ing stamens 2: 2 filaments rudimentary or wanting: anthers narrow, 2-celled, versatile ; 
sacs divergent, somewhat confluent at the base. Nutlets smooth.
