A much-branched, hairy or silky shrub, well covered with leaves and flowers ; va- 
riable in pubescence and in some minor characters. There are many cultivated va- 
rieties of this, and several handsome hybrids are partly traced to it. 
*** Leaves scabrous, acutely three-lobed, and sharply serrate. (Sp. 149-159.).

A very scabrous, slender shrub, with strongly-scented, curled, rough leaves, which 
vary much in size, being from 3 inch to 14 inches in length and breadth. ‘Their in- 
sertion is distichous, and the stipules are vertically, placed one over another, on each 
side of the branches. The scent is strong and like balm. Typical specimens of var. B. 
with minute, wedge-shaped, truncate leaves look very different, but intermediate forms 
detween these and the broad-leaved “ erispum” of gardens, are common ; and both 
grow intermixed, in a wild state. Drege’s “‘ P, crispum” belongs to our var. Y, 
which is well figured by L’Heretier.

harsh, hairy and glandular ; leaves on shortish petioles, cuneate at base, — 
deeply three-lobed, the terminal lobe often trifid and the lateral bifid, all 
coarsely toothed, the nerves prominent underneath, and rough with

icled, many-flowered ; the pedicels and calyx remarkably scab- 
a bristly ; petalssmall. DC. Prod. 1. p. 677. Cav. Diss.t. 108.
