Stem 6-10 in., and branches very stout, and leaves grey ; hairs minute, deflexed 
and appressed. Leaves 4-1 in. broad, margins flat or recurved. Whorls 3-4 10.3 
bracts slender, hispid. Calyx membranous below, green and striated above, not con- 
tracted at the junction. Corolla very small.—The stout scabrid habit, narrow entire 
leaves, small whorls, and short calyx, not contracted above the nutlets (with, how- 
ever, similar teeth) distinguish this from L. aspera. 
37. Lh. aspera, Spreng. Syst. ii. 743; annual, erect or diffuse, stem 
stout hispid or scabrid, leaves 1-3 in. linear or oblong obtuse entire oF 
crenate, whorls large terminal and axillary, bracts long linear and filiform,

$ in. broad. Whorls often 1 in. diam., very dense-fld. and hispid. Calyx variable, 
but with always the upper lip produced and with short triangular teeth. Coral a 
small.—-Whole plant fragrant and used as a pot-herb, Roxb. Bentham’s L. dimidiata, 
from Burma (Wallich) is certainly L. aspera, and may or may not be Sprengel’s plant 
of that name. A piece of L. nutans is on the same sheet.
