is every part of the plant. Leaves ovate, all of them very 
coarsely and unequally serrated, the lower ones tapering 
into a footstalk, the rest sessile, gradually becoming smaller 
and more acuminated on the upper part of the stem. Pe- 
duncles two and three inches long, leafy upwards, and 
bearing a corymbé of three to five or six large purple flowers. 
These peduncles arise from the axils of the leaves in the 
upper part of the plant, so that the inflorescence may be 
described as a large, leafy panicle. Calyx about one-third 
the length of the tube of the corolla, its segments lanceo- 
late, serrated. Corolla with the throat inflated, the limb 
two-lipped, the upper lip with two, the lower with three 
nearly equal lobes. Stamens included. Barren filament 
rather longer than the tube, bearing a conspicuous white 
tuft of hairs.

eluding the Pistil :—magnified.
