_VERBENACE&. 
TRIBE VERBENEZ. 
This Order has been divided respectively by Bartling and 
Endlicher into two and three tribes. The former arrange- 
ment is the most natural, though it requires some modifica- 
tion. 
The first tribe, or Verbenee, are closely allied to Labiate, 
but characterized by their simple spicate inflorescence and 
ovules, whieh are straight, anatropous and erect from the base 
of the cells. They are herbaceous or subshrubby, seldom, 
if ever arborescent. Leaves often divided, never compound ; 
calyx herbaceous or membranaceous, not materially extended 
after the fall of the corolla. Cells of the ovary often diverg- 
ing at the base, especially during the growth of the fruit, so 
as to leave between them a space, either empty in the dry 
fruited genera, or filled with pulp in the succulent ones, 
which space has been described as two additional empty cells. 
The Ferbenee would comprehend, among the genera with 
a bilocular ovary ; Spielmannia, with axillary solitary flowers : 
Cryptocalyx, Lippia, Riedelia, Dipterocalyx, Lantana, and 
Camara, with imbricate capitate flowers; and Aloysia, Bouchea, 
and Stachytarpheta, with spicate flowers. Of the genera 
with a quadrilocular ovary, it would contain Verbena, Dipy- — 
rena, — Tamonea, P Casselia, Monochilus, Mo e 
and Chloanthes. ^ : ;
