Perennial, 10-35 cm. high, stoloniferous ; stolons hypogajous, slender, 

 rooting. Stems erect, slender, simple or with a few branches above, 

 tetragonons, thinly pubescent or nearly glabrous, with remote nodes, leafy 

 throughout. Leaves opposite, petiolate, subdeltoid-oval or oval-ovate, obtuse, 

 truncate or subcordate at the base, dentate with deltoid or deltoid-ovate 

 ncutish or obtuse teeth, membranaceous, very thinly disparsed with pilose 

 hairs on both surfaces or nearly glabrous, 1-5 cm. long, l-3f cm. wide, the 

 superior ones passing the bracts ; petiole thinly pilose, |-4 cm. long, shorter 

 or sometimes longer than the blade. Raceme terminal, 1-14 cm. long, 

 secundly flowered ; rachis thinly pubescent ; bracts ova to-lanceolate or 

 narrowly ovate, the lower ones often similar to leaves in size and form, 

 the superior ones gradually diminished in size and the uppermost one 

 about 2-3 mm. in length. Flowers erect, loose, pedicellate, opposite as- 

 cending-erect, 17-22 mm. long, aeruleo-violaceous above ; pedicel very short, 

 11-3 mm. long, thinly pubescent. Calyx campanulate, shallowly 2-labiate 

 with entire equal lips, thinly pubescent with glandular patent hairs ex- 

 ternally, green, 2^-3 mm. long, but 31 mm. in length and compressed and 

 close in fruit, appendage erect, lato-semiorbicular, thinly glanduloso-pubescent 

 and ciliated, slightly concavo-convex, 3*-4 mm. broad in fruit. Corolla 

 thinly pubescent with patent glandular hairs, white but creruleous above ; 

 tube long, slightly arcuate, enlarged above, somewhat geniculate and sub- 

 gibbose at the base ; limb much shorter than the tube, the upper lip shorter 

 and much smaller, 2-lobed into oval-ovate obtuse lobules, the lower lip 

 ample, the lateral lobes obtuse deltoid-oval and shorter than the upper lip, 

 the midlobe much broad, patent, semiorbicular, 8-9A mm. broad, obscurely 

 trilobuled, the midlobule broader than the lateral lobules and subtruncate 

 or sub-einarginate. Stamens didynamous, inserted above the middle of 

 the corolla-tube, the anterior ones equal to the upper lip of corolla in 

 height ; filament pubescent below ; anther ciliated on the margin of anther- 

 cells, divergent, one of cells in those of the anterior stamens minute and
