the upper galeate lip is of a deep crimson colour, and the palate 
of the opposite lip seems of a roseate tinge, judging at least from 
the appearance of the flower when moistened after being dried : 
externally it is quite smooth in bud, but the flower, at maturity, 
is covered with a very short, dense, echinate, rigid pubescence, 
with which, indeed, the whole plant, under the lens, will be found 
to be more or less invested: the crimson galeate lip of the corolla, 
with the exception of the dorsal nerve, is, however, quite glabrous.
