minute, Calyx pubescent, throat with long hairs, fruiting ribbed, 2 lower lobes 
rigid, subulate. Corolla about l in. long. Nutlets oblong, obscurely reticulate,

Branches 6-12 in., many, ascending from a stout woody stock. Leaves i? in., 
obtuse or acute, scentless, base cuneate entire and narrowed into a petiole 4-3 the 
length of the blade. Racemes long or short, stout or slender ; floral leaves mmute ; 
owers din. long. Corolla white. Fruiting calyx as loug as the pedicel, ]-j in. 
long, deflexed ; lower teeth subulate or aristate. Nutlets subglobose, compressed, 
pale, nearly smooth.— With difficulty distinguished from states of Ocimum adscendens, 
the calyx being nearly identical. Roxburgh's figure of O. inodorus is this plant, but 
his description refers to some other with cordate rugose leaves and cordate bracts.
