This appears to be a very variable plant. The leaves resemble 

 those of L. hyssopifolia, but are smaller ; the verticillastri are con- 

 stantly dimidiate, the teeth of the calyx are sometimes very short, 

 more frequently nearly as long as the breadth of the calyx.

This species appears intermediate between the L. hyssopifolia, or 

 dimidiata of the section Plagiostoma, and the L. ciliata of Astrodon, 

 thus connecting the two sections. The stems are about a foot high, 

 with very few leaves ; the verticillastri terminal, with a pair of very 

 long leaves proceeding from their base, and sometimes another pair 

 from their centre.

This plant scarcely belongs to this section, but cannot well be 

 placed in either of the two preceding ones, of the characters of which 

 it partakes.— The verticillastri are 30- or 40-flowered at least ; the 

 bractese are often scarcely shorter than the calyx.
