I cannot find any really ^oocZ specific character to sep,i;ate this species 

 from Leucas hijlora. The amount of pubescence seems to be tlie chief 

 difference. The pedicels in L. procumbens are usually longer than those 

 of L. bijlora. The difference in the length of the calyx-teeth cannot be 

 relied upon as a good distinguishing character.
