or upper much the largest, or 3 upper combined into a broad lip. Corolla- 
tube not annulate within, upper lip erect notched, lower spreading 3-fid, 
midlobe largest. Stamens 4, ascending under the upper lip, anther-cells 
diverging. Style-lobes subulate. Nutlets smooth.—Species about 30, S.

As characterized in modern works, Dracocephalum cannot be distinguished from 
Nepeta, to which latter genus the two last described species should probably be 
referred.
