8C FLOR. TELL 



Thus I have tried to revise Teucrium into 7 

 Genera ; but all the sp. must be examined 

 again, Linneus had 35 sp. Schreber in mono- 

 gr. unilab, and Vitman 26 more, Persoon 69 in 

 all : we have nearly 100, of which but few are 

 completely described. According to Smith 

 several belong to Ajuga, such as T, iva, lax- 

 mani, chamepytis, and salicifolium, but this last 

 has 4fid calix ! if so it is a Subgenus, Vimener- 

 ha Raf. 



764. Origanum Raf. non L. one of the ab- 

 surd linnean Genera formed upon mere habit 

 and the strobilaceous inflorescence, and there- 

 fore including many distinct G, I confine the 

 name to the sp, with calix tubulose equal 5 

 dentate, such as O. vulgare, humile, glandulo- 

 sufti, americanum, &c, and akin. The Au- 

 thors having neglected to describe the Corol- 

 las of the sp. many genera are yet hidden there- 

 in perhaps, such as 



Zatarendia R. type O. egyptiacum L. 

 Oroga Lobel. type O. hereaelontica. 



765. Amaracus Mench. cal. tubul. Sdentes 

 ineq. supera major labiatiformis, cor. basi sac- 

 cata, faux compressa — Type Am. dictamnus 

 and sipyleus. 



766. Majorana Raf. cal. urceolatus bilabi- 

 ato, lab. sup. magno integro, lab. inf. parva 

 dentata — Type M, fragrans Orig. majorana 

 L. 2 M, suffruticosa. Orig. majoranoides W. 

 3. M. tenuifolia, 4 Syriaca ? &c. 



767. Onites Raf. cal. bilabiato,labissubeq. 

 subintegris — Type Onites tomentosa Rah 

 Orig. onites L. &c. 



768. Beltokon Raf. (n. gr.) differs from 764 

 by Corolla ealearata ut in Plectranthus ! — 

 Type jB, Tourneforti Raf. Origanum do auet.
