Corolla somewhat funnel-shaped; tube widening upwards; limb 
oblique, 4-lobed, sub-2-labiate, the upper lip entire or 2-fid,

parallel. Ovary 2-celled; cells 1-ovuled; style short ; stigma

common littoral dwarf species of hot countries, occur in the Eastern district 
and at Natal. 
7. LANTANA, Linn. 
Calyx very small, membranous, subcampanulate, obsoletely 
4-toothed, enlarging with the fruit and enclosing it. Corolla 
tubular-funnelshaped, the tube much longer than the calyx, 
widening upwards; limb oblique, 4-lobed, sub-2-labiate, the 
upper lip entire or 2-fid, lower 3-fid. Stamens 4, included. 
Ovary 2-celled; cells 1-ovuled; style short; stigma bent back or 
obliquely capitate. Drupe fleshy or juicy, with 2 pyrenes.—

cells 1-ovuled; style short; stigma subcapitate, suboblique. 
Drupe quite hidden in the enlarged, membranous and coloured,
