MONADELPHIA. PENTANDRIA, 
and therefore importantly specific. 3. erassiuscula. Erect, 
subpubescent; stem mostly simple; leaves linear-lanceolate, 
serrulate, acute, and rather thick; flowers subsessile; seg- 
ments of the calix reflexly denticulate; disk of the lower 
lip of the corolla bearded.—Flowers very few and remote, 
rather large, blue, calix as often smooth as pubescent. 4. 
amena, Oss. The largest of the United States’ species. 
Leaves more commonly scabrous than smooth, lanceolate 
acuminate, serrate, 6 to 8 inches long; little more than an 
inch broad; flowers bright blue insccund racemes. 5. pu- 
berula. Erect, simple and pubescent; leaves subelliptic, 
or elliptic-ovate, serrulate; spike secund, foliaceous at the 
base, bractes serrulate; calix shorter than the tube of the 
corolla; segments of the lower lip oval, acute.—Very near- 
ty allied to L. Ciaytoniana, but the fiowers are 3 times as 
jarge, and of finer and deeper blue. The calix is either 
smooth or pubescent, never ciliated. Has. On the mar- 
gins of ponds and swamps in the Pine forests of Carolina 
and Georgia. ‘ 
6.* Michauxii. L. Cliffortiana. Mich. Rather smooth, 
branching above; leaves petiolate, oval, crenately toothed; 
lower ones suborbicular; spike leafless; flowers small, 
i . Has. In Virginia. Certainly distinct from 
L. Clifortiana of Linnzus, which appears to be a South 
American species. 7. Clayioniana. Oss. Bractes entire, 
calix equal with the tube of the corolla, segments of the 
lower lip oe palate prominently bidentate as in L. pu- 
_ berula; spike smooth, naked below. 
leafy; 
7. Kalmii. Stem smooth, erect and branching; leaves 
smooth, long, linear and nearly entire; raceme loose and 
peduncle longer than the fruit, minutely bibracteate 
at the summit; calix campanulate, segments lanceolate, 
. shorter than the capsule, which is attenuated at the base.
