matifid. Flowers in terminal spikes with large often acutely cut bracts, 
ebracteolate. Calyx tubular or campanulate; lobes 4, equal or connate in 
pairs, rarely with a minute 5th tooth. Corolla 2-lipped, tube dilated above : 
upper lip erect, concave, 2-lobed, margins replicate; lower larger, not plaited 
below, 3-lobed, lobes spreading, obtuse or notched. Stamens 4, didynamous ; 
anthers beneath the upper lip, cells distinct, parallel, base equally or 
unequally mucronate or spurred. Stigma dilated, entire or with a small 
dorsal tooth. Capsule oblong, compressed, loculicidal ; valves septiferous, 
separating from the placentiferous column. Seeds numerous (rarely few), 
pendulous, oblong, grooved.—Species about 20, of cool regions. 
E. officinalis, Linn.; Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 552; annual, pubes- 
cent or glabrate, leaves sessile ovate or ovate-cordate deeply crenate-serrate, 
bracts like the leaves, anthers hairy, cells of posticous ones unequally 
spurred. Boiss. Fl. Orient. iv. 472; Reichb. Ic. Fl. Germ. xx. t. 1731, 2.

10-12,000 ft., J. D. H.—DISTRIB. Affghanistan and N. Persia to Europe, N. Central 
and East Asia to Japan, N. America. 
Stem wiry, 6-18 in., simple or sparingly or fastigiately branched, often naked 
below; branches slender, erect. Leaves 4-4 in., distant or imbricating, nerves 
strong. Spikes continuous with the foliage, short or long, obtuse, few- or many -fld. 
Flowers very small; bracts imbricating. Calyx about equalling the bracts ; lobes 
acute. Corolla i-i in. long, white or lilac, with purple veins. Anthers brown. 
Capsule included in the calyx or exserted.— Very variable, attaining a much larger 
size in the Himalaya than in Europe, and being more constant in foliage. Bentham 
distinguishes two Himalayan varieties ; E. farfarica, with almost orbicular leaves, 
remote, subacute bracts, and small corollas hardly exserted from the bracts, and £E. 
vulgaris, with ovate or oblong obtusely crenate cauline leaves, sharply serrate bracts, 
and corolla of very variable size. These, which are both widely distributed in Europe 
and Asia, present no constant characters in India.
