10a. RUSSELIA Jacq. 

 Shrubs, commonly with rush-like diffuse stems. Leaves opposite or whorled, mostly 

 scale-like, sometimes with small dilated blades. Flowers in diffuse cymes. Calyx- 

 lobes broad. Corolla mostly red, tubular or tubular-f unnelf orm : tube elongated; 

 lobes very short. Stamens 4: anther-sacs divergent. Styles united. Capsule ovoid or

 nodium, 



1. Russelia equiaetifdrmiB Schlech. & Cham. Stems tufted spreading or arch- 

 ing, the branches striate. Leaves various, those of the twigs with spatulate or 

 obovate blades, 1-1.5 cm. long, those of the stem and branches reduced to short scales: 

 flowers numerous : calyx 3-4 mm. long ; lobes ovate : corolla showy, bright red, 20-26 

 mm. long ; lobes ovate : capsules ovoid. 



In fields and waste places and on roadsides, peninsular Florida. Naturalized from 

 Mexico. All year. Coral Flower. Fountain Plant.

12a. MAZUS Lour. 



Annual or perennial low herbs. Leaves opposite or alternate above: blades 

 rather broad, those of the lower and the upper leaves often different, all usually 

 toothed. Flowers in open racemes. Calyx scarcely 2-lipped: tube campanulate, 

 terete; lobes 5, about as long as the tube. Corolla white or blue, strongly 2-lipped; 

 tube short: lips broad, the upper one with 2 minute apical lobes, the lower one much 

 longer than the upper, with 3 broad lobes. Stamens 4, paired: anther-sacs divergent. 

 Styles united to the 2-lobed stigma. Capsule loculicidally 2-valved, included, except 

 the apex. — Differs from Mimulus in the short terete calyx-tube and the minute lobes 

 of the upper corolla-lip. 



1. Mazus rugosus Lour. Plants 2-15 cm. tall, pubescent, the stems simple or 

 sparingly branched: leaf -blades spatulate, 1-6 cm. long, coarsely few-toothed: flowers 

 slender-pedicelled : calyx-lobes oblong to lanceolate, becoming 3.5^.5 mm. long, spread-

 those of the lower lip relatively very large and as wide as long: capsules ovoid, 2.5- 

 3.5 mm. long. 



In ditches and cultivated grounds, southern Louisiana. Naturalized from Asia. Spring, 

 to fall. 



Page 1069, in description of Capraria after "Stamens usually 4," add "or as 

 many as the corolla-lobes." 



Page 1070, after Veronica Byzantina, insert: 



la. Veronica hederaefoUa L. Annual, pubescent. Stem branched at the base,. 



the branches reclining or decumbent : leaf -blades renif orm to orbicular-renif orm,.

 pedicels as long as the leaves or slightly shorter: calyx-lobes ovate, 3-4.5 mm. long,, 

 acute: corolla about as long as the calyx or shorter: capsules depressed, slightly 

 2-lobed, 5-6 mm. broad. — Differs from F. Byzantina in the small corolla and the few-
