 deflexed hairs. Leaves stalked, ovate, acute, serrated, slightly 

 hairy, bright green, various in breadth. Whorls numerous, each 

 composed of many large, handsome, inodorous, ytWow flowers, 

 whose lower lip is spotted with red, the middle segment stained 

 with orange-colour. Bracteas linear, shorter than the calyx.
