THE root is perennial, Jong, ligneous, and divides into many 
fibrous branches: the stalks are numerous, slender, shrubby, woolly, 
somewhat branched, and rise above a foot in height: the leaves are 
oblong, pointed, entire, and near the bottom obscurely lobed: 
the upper pagina is of a pale green colour; the under, white and 
downy ; they are placed in pairs upon slender footstalks, which 
become gradually elongated towards the lower part of the stems: 
the flowers are produced in spikes, and all stand on the same side 
in pairs, upon short peduncles: the corolla consists of a short 
curved cylindrical tube, which divides at the limb into two lips; 
the upper lip is short, erect, and divided to the base, by which it 
seems lost in the upper lip, which is long, of a pale purple colour,
