 ther-bearing : anthers 2-celled ; sacs diverging. Nutlets 3-angled, smooth. 



1. Leonotis nepetaefolia II. Br. Annual, softly pubescent. Stems 3-20 dm. tall, 

 simple or branched : leaf-blades ovate or ovate-deltoid, 4-12 cm. long, coarsely crenate, 

 cuneate or subcordate at the base : clusters dense, 4-6 cm. in diameter : pedicels 1-2 mm. 

 long : calyx puberulent, becoming at least 2 cm. long ; tube reticulated above the middle ; 

 lobes 8, awn-tipped : corolla scarlet or orange-yellow, 2-2.5 cm. long, villous-hirsute ; tube 

 curved, the upper lip as long as the tube, the lower lip much shorter than the upper, with 

 3 narrow lobes : nutlets 3 mm. long, sharply angled. 



In waste places, Tennessee to Florida and Louisiana. Also in the tropics. Summer and fall. 



20. STACHYS L. 



Annual or perennial caulescent herbs, with glabrous or variously pubescent foliage. 

 Leaves opposite : blades entire or toothed, commonly petioled. Flowers in axillary clus- 

 ters, the upper ones sometimes approximate or contiguous. Calyx mostly campanulate : 

 tube 5-10-ribbed : lobes 5, equal or nearly so. Corolla purple or white or rarely red or 

 yellow, 2-lipped : upper lip erect, entire or notched : lower lip spreading, with 3 lobes, the 

 middle lobe largest, entire or 2-lobed. Stamens 4 : filaments all anther-bearing : anthers 

 2-celled ; sacs mostly diverging. Nutlets blunt at the apex. 



Plants with annual or biennial roots. 



Lower lip of the corolla slightly surpassing the calyx : mature calyx 3-4 mm. long. 



1. S. affraria. 

 Lower lip of the corolla much surpassing the calyx : mature calyx 5-6 mm. long. 2. S. brumrnrmdii. 

 Plants with perennial roots. 



Leaf-blades narrowed at the base. 



Leaf-blades glabrous, entire or with shallow teeth : calyx-lobes glabrous at 

 maturity. 

 Calyx-lobes subulate-tipped : leaf-blades entire or nearly so. 3. 5. hyssopi/oUn.

toothed. 4. S. lythroides.
