LABIATAE 
Stachys rubisepala n. sp.— Biennial herbs, 3 to 5 dm. 
high; stems many from the root, erect or the outer ones 
suberect, sparingly branched, brown glandular pubescent. 
Leaves chiefly cauline, quite numerous, evenly scattering 
clear to the base, variable in size and shape, membranous, 
soft pubescent especially beneath, the smaller ones lanceo- 
late, the normal ones ovate to elliptic, obtuse at both ends, 
the blade 15 mm. wide and 2 to 3 cm.long with 3 to 5 
fine ascending nerves; petiole pubescent, about 5 mm. long. 
Inflorescence scattering along the stems, at irregular inter- 
vals, in rather dense 2 cm. thick whorls subtended by fol- 
iaceous bracts, bristly pubescent with ciliate hairs; the 3 to 
5 slender pedicels similarly pubescent, usually grouped upon 
very short peduncles, subtended by very linear 5 mm. long 
bracts; calyx only slightly curved, the upper portion red 
when in anthesis, 2 mm. thick, tubular, covered with 
whitish bristle like hairs on the exterior, 5 mm. long in- 
cluding the 2 mm. long teeth, about 13-nerved; teeth sharp- 
ly acuminate, equal, the lower two a trifle longer aud 
split down the base; corolla 6 mm. long, straight, subgla-
