Descr. A perennial rooted branched herb, clothed with 

 soft spreading silvery white hairs. Branches obtusely four- 

 angled, rather soft, a foot and more high. Leaves spreading, 

 blade one inch long, ovate- cordate, subacute, deeply crenate- 

 toothed, much raised between the impressed nerves, grey- 

 green above ; floral leaves equalling the flowers, narrower, 

 shortly petioled or sessile, with cuneate bases ; petiole of 

 cauline leaves longer than the blade, stout, horizontal. Flowers 

 in false whorls, collected into a narrow oblong obtuse leafy 

 spike, very shortly pedicelled, few in each whorl ; bracteoles 

 inconspicuous. Calyx one fourth of an inch long, narrowly 

 campanulate, woolly, with faint nerves ; mouth oblique, with 

 five triangular ovate acute but hardly mucronate teeth. 

 Corolla one half an inch long, and as broad across the lips, 

 softly hairy externally ; tube rather longer than the calyx, 

 with an obscure ring of hairs within half way up, pale straw- 

 coloured, with purple blotches on the lower lip; upper lip 

 small, concave, obtuse, arched ; lower much larger, an oblong 

 square in outline with rounded angles, and the narrow acute 

 sinus between the lobes about half way between the base and 

 tip ; lateral lobes narrow, with rounded ends that hardly 

 project laterally; terminal lobe nearly orbicular, retuse or 

 emarginate. Filaments stout ; anthers purple, cells short, 

 divaricating. Ovary and style glabrous.— J". D. H.
