XXVII. Nepeta, Linn. Gen. 



Calyx tubulosus, basi subgibbus, 15-nervius, aequalis vel ore obli- 

 quus, 5-dentatus, intus fauce nuda vel subvillosa. Corolla tubo sub- 

 exserto, fauce inflata, bilabiata, labiis subsequalibus, superiore erecto,

 goso-punctata, rarius leevia. — Herbae verticillastris saepius mtiltifloris, 

 laxe racemosis, rarius dense spicatis. 



The above character will include the Glechoma hederacea, v^hich I 

 do not think can be generically distinguished from Nepeta. The 

 anthers are more or less " per paria cruciatim approximatae " in most 

 of the species, especially before they have burst. The chief character 

 which distinguishes Nepeta from Dracocephalmn is in the calyx, 

 which in the former is regular or oblique at the mouth, but not bi- 

 labiate as in the latter genus. The flowers of Dracocephalmn are 

 also in general larger and less numerous, with the orifice of the tube 

 more inflated.
