* * * Calyx phyllis utrisque 6-nervibus, postico apice emarginato- 

 bifido. Corolla profundius bilabiata, labio inferiori galea dimidio bre- 

 viore. Stamina 4 : antherae omnes uniloculares, loculo inferiori aut 

 abortivo aut praesertim in stam. breviorura plane nullo : filamenta 

 villosula. Folia brevia, linearia, conformia, fere semper integerrima. 



Cordylanthus laxiflorus, Gray, in Bot. Mex. Bound. 1. c. — 

 The flowers are said to be " bright yellow."
