drawn from plants which flowered in the open borders of 
the Glasgow Botanic Garden. 
Descr. Root decidedly annual. Stem erect, eight or 
ten inches to a foot in height, branched in a brachiated 
manner, acutely four-angled, glabrous. Leaves oblong, 
or oblongo-lanceolate, serrated, glabrous. Flowers oppo- 
site on the racemes, leafless, but each with an ovato-acu- 
minate bractea at the base of the short slightly glandular 
pedicel. Calyx gibbous and downy at the base, two-lipped ; 
upper lip very broad, and cut into three rounded, spinuloso- 
acuminated lobes ; the lower much smaller, ovate, with two 
sharp teeth, the whole veiny and distinctly reticulated 
when dry. Corolla more than twice as long as the calyx, 
purple-rose-coloured, slightly downy ; the throat inflated. 
Upper lip convex, entire; lower lip of three spreading, 
nearly equal, rounded lobes, the middle part white, spotted 
with purple. Filaments slightly woolly, rather distant, 
Hel Anthers each of two rounded, almost black 
obes.
