 the corolla are so different. In Thymbra spicata, as well as in several 

 species of Calamintha and Acynos, the cells of the anthers are more 

 or less separated by the fleshy connectivum, without this character 

 running through the whole of the species even of the same genus.

 ian herbarium, two Chinese plants, which appear to be true Perillce.
