Stem about two feet high; pimple, four angled^ :?cubrouSj Iiairy and witli 

 the calyx viscid. Leaves acutely and irregularly serrate, sometimes 

 slightly lobcdjthe interior obtuse, the upper ones acute, rugose, the veins 

 pellucid. Bracteas subulate, shorter than the calyx. Calyx tubular, 

 teeth unequal. Corolla twice as long as the calyx, pale purple, hairy 



within, the border 4 cleft, somewhat two lipped, the upper segment short, 

 wide and emarginate, the three lower oval. Filaments very short. Au' 

 ihers almost sessile in the tube of the corolla. Sti/le very short, with a 

 lateral tooth, beneath the capitate stigma. Capsule? very hard, ahnost a 

 nut, oblong, 4 celled, not opening. Can this be called a naked seed with 

 four cells ? 



This plant has entirely the apj)carance of a Verbena ; by its corolla 

 and seed it difters from that genus. I have little doubt from its fruit that 

 it is the plant Walter intended by the Phryma C?,roUmensis.
