is another Rafinesquia for a fine shrub mis- 

 taken by all the Authors, and forcetl into 3 

 Genera! Cunila, Melissa, Gardoquia! if not ap- 

 proved, I add a 5th name ! abridged from Dio- 

 dontocheilis ! I add next the Gardoquia to 

 compare them. The type of this is in my her- 

 barium with several other shrubby Labiate of 

 Florida.

 from Florida, flowers scarlet or miniate, seen 

 dry. Bentham doubted the G. of this plant, 

 he says it has stamens nearly like Origanum. 

 I have another N. G. from Florida different by 

 campan. calix &c. see Dlseldia.

 tis obtusis, Chili — I shall begin to add some 

 good new Genera to those of Bentham on the 

 Labiate : I have already stated that his valua- 

 ble labors are incomplete in many genera, and 

 that his tribes of Labiate are artificial. The 

 old division of Unilabiate, Diandres,and Didy- 

 names by Jussieu was more natural, the stig- 

 ma lateral or terminal, the stamens bilocular 

 or unilocular ,with or without appendages, would 

 form much better natural tribes. Therefore I 

 offer the following tribes or families to be here- 

 after rectified and enlarged.
