 glabrate : leaves rhombic-ovate or deltoid-ovate, with long acuminate 

 entire tips, and entire cuneate bases, otherwise coarsely appressed-serrate, 

 thin, dark green above, pale beneath, 2 to 4 cm. long, 1 to 3 cm. wide, 

 on slender petioles 2 cm. or less in length : racemes elongate, 0.5 to 2 

 cm, long ; verticels 2-10-flowered, all somewhat remote, the lowest 1 to 

 1.0 cm. apart: bracts lance-subulate, caducous : pedicels 2 to 4 mm. long: 

 calyx glabrate ; the tube twice exceeding the lobes ; upper lip broad- 

 ovate, entire, blunt and submucronate, the lower with ovate-lanceolate 

 acuminate lobes : corolla blue, 1 to 1.2 cm. long; galea pilose, nearly
