Annual. Stem 4-18 in., rather slender, strict or flexuous, usually tomentose or 
villous above, branches ascending. Leaves 1-3 by 4-3 in., often scabrid, narrowed 
into the short petiole; radical often elliptic or oblanceolate, cauline narrower; crena- 
tures broad, rounded, sometimes crenulate. Racemes or spikes 1-6 in., very lax; 
bracts often longer than the flowers; pedicels slender very short or 0; flowers jin. 
long. Calyx 4 in., narrow in flower, hirsute or glabrous, lobes very short, fruiting 
broadly oblong. Corolla-tube rarely less than twice as long as the calyx; upper lip 
inflated in the middle, longer than the lower, which is 2 in. broad and shallowly 3-lobed. 
Capsule broadly oblong, acute, shortly exserted. Seeds minute, orbicular, ns 
diam., compressed, black, punctulate.— Bentham refers to this Don’s Bhinant ius 
bifidus, which differs in the hirsute upper lip of the corolla according to Don's descrip- 
tion. Very near the N. Asiatic and Japanese P. resupinata, of which the leaves are 
sessile, or if petioled broad at the base and doubly crenate.
