I cannot find any other explanation of ZL. Brownii than 
to take it as an hybrid of L. sempervirens and L. hirsuta. 
The rather long tube and short limb and the color of the 
corolla as well as the inflorescence and the general appear- 
ance of the plant show the influence of L. sempervirens 
from which it strongly differs by the two-lipped corolla. 
The pubescence of the under side of the leaves, of the 
style, the filaments and the outside of the corolla show that 
a pubescent species of the subsection Cypheolae must be 
the other parent; the sparse glandular pubescence on the 
petioles and on the outside of the flowers and the scattered 
hairs which are often found on the margins of the leaves 
particularly near the base make it highly probable that L. 
hirsuta is the other parent, no other species of the Cyphe- 
olae having ciliate leaves together with glandular pubes- 
cence. That L. ciliosa entered into the parentage is the 
less probable as it has always been very rare in cultivation.
