down larger, and cordato-ovate, or even approaching to hastate 
all rather obtuse, scarcely ever acuminated, and then but slightly 
so, more or less strongly dentato-serrate, the teeth never reaching 
to the point. Whorls of flowers in axillary racemes, shortly 
pedunculate, the flowers pointing upwards. Calya tubular, with 
five narrow, almost subulate, or subulato-lanceolate, erect teeth. 
Corolla almost exactly as in the C. Mezicana, represented in 
Bot. Mag. t. 3860. W. J. H. 
Curr. A hard-stentned herbaceous plant, of suffruticose habit ; 
the stems growing in a compact manner, and producing nume- 
rous spikes of showy flowers, which make it worthy of cultivation 
for the border. It appears to be quite hardy, and grows freely 
in common garden-soil. It may be increased by division of the 
roots, or by cuttings taken from the lower part of the stems. /. S.
