This species differs so much from all the preceding in the 

 structure of the calyx, 8cc. that it might properly be separated 

 as a distinct genus, were it not connected with the Monardts 

 by the M. ciliata of Pursh. The latter has also a bilabiate 

 calyx, but the teeth are all subulate, the two superior ones 

 forming the upper lip being merely lower than the others.
