ounila; DIANDRIA. MONOGYI^IA. 23 



Leaves with numerous diaphanous dots, opposite, broad-ovate, 

 acute, a little cordate at the base; upper surface smooth, 

 slightly pubescent beneath. Flowers in small fastigiate co- 

 rymbs, with the terminal divisions somewhat in threes. Calyx 

 oblong, sprinkled with resinous dots ; teeth prominent, acute, 

 nearly equal; throat densely villose. Corolla pale pink, a little 

 hairy ; upper lip erect and emarginate ; the under with rounded 

 emarginate lobes. Stamens and style nearly twice as long as 

 the corolla ; anthers 2-lobed ; stigma bilamellate. Seeds oval, 

 smooth. 

 Hab. In rocky and mountainous situations : sometimes in sandy 

 woods. On the hills near Weehawk. In the pine-barrens of 

 New-Jersey, &c. August — September. Mountain Dittany.

Root perennial, creeping. Stem 8 or 10 inches high, quadran- 

 gular, branched below, producing long suckers from the base 

 bearing small obovate leaves. Stem leaves often linear, with 

 diaphanous dots, smooth, without veins, sessile, margins revo- 

 lute ? Peduncles setaceous, shorter than the leaves, the upper 

 ones somewhat verticillate in threes. Calyx oblong-cylindric, 

 10-striate, not gibbous at the base, indistinctly 2-lipped ; teeth 

 nearly equal, subulate, the 3 upper ones approxim.ated ; throat 

 closed with hairs. Corolla violet, much longer than the calyx. 

 Fertile stamens 4 ? two of them exserted. 

 Hab. On the limestone rocks near the Falls of Niagara. £dd y.

This plant, though disagreeing a little with the generic cha- 

 racter, is certainly much more nearly allied to Cunila than to 

 Hedeojia, to which last genus it is referred by Per so on 

 and Kuttall. I regret that my specimens are not suffi- 

 ciently perfect to describe the flowers accurately. It appeared 

 to me, however, that there were decidedly 4 stamens, all of 

 which were antheriferous and perfect.
