segment two-lobed, pale purple, spotted at the base : lateral

Anisomeles is a genus established by Mr. Brown in his 

 Prodromus Florae Nova? Hollandiae, to which, both Nepeta 

 indica and malabarica of Linn^us belong. Our plant is very 

 similar to Anisomeles salviccfolia of the former author, from 

 which it is distinguished especially by the form of the calyx, 

 the teeth of which in the New Holland plant are broad 

 and scarcely half the length of the tube. 



Native of Malabar and Coromandel, and is, as we are 

 informed by Dr. Roxburgh, esteemed a medicine of consi- 

 derable virtue by the inhabitants. Communicated by Mr. 

 William Kent, of Clapton, in whose stove it flowered in 

 July.
