In Benth. Lab. 562 and in DC. Prodr. xii. 492, Burchell’s specimens are referred 
to S. integrifolia, Vahl, the type of which we have not seen. We have, however, 
seen the types of Betonica heraclea, Linn., and Sideritis plumosa, Thunb., both of 
which are reduced by Bentham to S. integrifolia. These agree with Drdge’s 
specimen on which Bentham based his S, aurea, which is therefore in this work 
referred to S. integrifolia, while Burchell’s plant, which differs chiefly in having 
distinctly terete instead of square branches, is described as a new species, 
50. 8. hyssopoides (Burch. ex Benth. Lab. 558) ; apparently an 
undershrub ; stem ascending or erect, from a few inches up to 2} ft. 
high, slender, branched, glabrous above or sometimes very slightly 
or densely tomentose below ; leaves scarcely petiolate, sometimes 
fascicled, linear, oblanceolate or linear-oblanceolate, usually 1-21 in. 
Jong, }—6 lin. broad, rounded, obtuse or obtusely apiculate, rarely 
acute, much attenuated at the base, quite entire or minutely toothed 
in the upper part, glabrous, slightly glandular-pulverulent or shortly 
whitish tomentose ; bracts lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, longer to 
shorter than the calyx ; whorls 2—6-flowered, several, distant, in 
slender spikes up to 6 in. long or more; pedicels $—1} lin. long ; 
calyx tubular-campanulate, 21-3} lin. long, very sparingly pubes- 
cent, sometimes shortly whitish-tomentose, gland-dotted; teeth 
narrowly deltoid or lanceolate-triangular, 3-1 lin. long, shortly 
acuminate ; corolla pink, pale purple or blue, more or less silky- 
hairy outside ; tube funnel-shaped, 24-34 lin. long, curved ; upper 
lip elliptic, 1}-2 lin. long; lower lip 23-4 lin. long. E. Meyer,
