at the base, longer than the calyx, hairy: limb deeply five- 
cleft, lacinie flat, rounded at the end, somewhat undulate- 
toothed at the margin, marked with a blue streak at their 
base : faux closed with villi, not quite equal, and_bilabiately 
arranged. Stamens four within the tube: filaments equal. 
Germen ovate, smooth: style shorter than tube: stigma 
hooked. see 
Linnzus himself expressed a doubt, whether this plant 
belonged to the genus Lantana, and left it uncertain, till the 
fruit should be examined; this has been since done by 
Mepicus ; who. in consequence, established it as a distinct 
nus, which he named Sprenmanyia, in honour of Dr. 
AMES Retnpoup Spiexmany, Professor of Botany, at 
Strasburgh. | menOv oUF tin 
On account of the equality of the stamens, Lamarck and 
Prrsoon have removed $ ielmannia to the Class Tetrandria ; 
but by so doing, they have separated it from the plants to 
which it is nearly allied. It may be observed too, that 
although the stamens are not didynamous, the . bilabiate 
arrangement of the lacinie of the corolla and its whole habit 
shew its approach to that class; and many others of the 
Verbenacee, to which natural family both Lantana and it~ 
belong, have their stamens equal. a 
Native of the Cape of Good-Hope. A hardy greenhouse 
shrub, requiring only to be protected from frost ; and easily 
propagated by cuttings. It appears to have been cultivated, — 
in England in 1710.” Flowers from’ February to November.
