 nor with the upper lip laterally compressed or folded and narrow and arched. 



1. Stamens loith anthers 4, and no rudiment of the fifth : peduncles 1-Jiowered. 



15. MAURANDIA, including LOPHOSPERMUM. Herbs with alternate or partly 



opposite leaves, and solitary long-jjeduneled flowers in their axils, climbing 

 by their coiling leafstalks and tiowerstalks. Calyx 5-parted, foliaceous. 

 Cforolla open-mouthed, between bell-shaped and inflated-tubular, with 2 

 plaits or hairy lines running down the tube within, the border obscurely 2- 

 lipped or oblique, but the 5 spreading roundish lobes nearly similar, the upper 

 ones outermost in the bud. Pod as in 14. 



16. DIGITALIS. Herbs with erect simple stem, alternate leaves, and a simple 



terminal raceme of hanging flowers. Calyx 5-parted, foliaceous, the upper 

 sepal smallest. Corolla declining, with a long more or less inflated tube and 

 a short scarcely spreading border, distinctly or indistinctly lobed, the lower 

 lobe or side longest, the lateral ones outermost in the bud. Pod 2-valved, 

 many-seeded. 



17. GERARDIA. Herbs with branching stems, opposite or some alternate leaves, 



and above with single flowers in their axils or those of the bracts. Calyx 

 6-toothed or 6-cleft. Corolla inflated bell-shaped or tubular-funnel fomi, 

 with an oblique or rather unequal border, the 5 lobes somewhat equal, the 

 lower and lateral ones outside in the bud. Two pairs of stamens of quite 

 unequal length. (Lessons, p. 95, fig. 194.) Pod globular or ovate, pointed, 

 2-valved, many-seeded. 



18. SEYMERIA. llerbs, like IT; but corolla with a short and broad bell-shaped 



tube, not longer than the 5 ovate or oblong nearly equal spreading lobes ; and 

 the stamens almost equal, their anthers blunt at base. 



19. MIMULUS. Herbs, with opposite leaves, and single flowers in the axils of the 



upper ones. Calyx prismatic, with 5 projecting angles, 6-toothed. CoroUa 

 tubular or funnel-form, 2-lipped, the upper lip of 2 rounded and recurved 

 lobes, the lower of 3 rounded spreading lobes. Stamens included. Stigma 

 of 2 flat lips. Pod 2-valved, many-seeded. 



20. TORENIA. Trailing herbs, with opposite leaves and axillary flowers. Calyx 



prismatic, with sharp angles, 2-lipped at summit, the lips 2-toothed and 

 3-toothed. Corolla short-funnel-shaped or tubular with inflated throat, 

 4-lobed, the upper lobe (sometimes slightly notched) outermost in the bud. 

 Filaments arched and their anthers brought together in pairs under the upper 

 lobe, the longer pair almost equalling the upper lobe and bearing a short 

 naked branch or appendage at base; the shorter pair simple and included. 

 Stigma 2-lipped. rod many-seeded. 



2. Stamens with good anthers only 2, a pair of sterile ones or abortive f laments 

 generally present also: fowcrs small: calyx b-parted : corolla 1-lipped : leaves 

 opposite, with single flowers in the axil of the upper ones : jieduncles simple 

 and bractless. 



21. ILYSANTHES. Spreading little herbs. Upper lip of the short corolla erect 



and 2-lobed: the lower larger, spreading, 3-cleft. Upper pair of stamens 

 with good anthers, included' in the tube of the corolla; lower pair borne in 

 the throat and protruded, 2-forked, without anthers. Stigma 2-lipped. Pod 

 many-seeded. 



22. GRATIOLA. Low herbs. Upper lip of the corolla either entire or 2-cleft; 



lower 3-cleft. Stamens included; the upper pair with good anthers; the 

 lower pair short with rudiment of anthers or a mere naked filament, or none 

 at all. Stigma 2-lipped. Pod many-seeded. A pair of bracts at the base 

 of the calyx. 



3* Stamens with anthers 4, the ffth stamen present as a barren filament or a scale : 

 calyx b-parted or of 6 imbricated sepals: stigma simple: leaves chiefly oppo- 

 site : flowers in the, axils of the vpper leaves, or when these are reduced to 

 bracts forming a terminal panicle or raceme : peduncles feio-flowered, or when 

 one-flowered U-aring a pair of bractlets, from the axils of which flowers may 

 spring : pod many-seeded. 



23. SCROPHULARIA. Homely and rank erect herbs. Corolla small, with a 



globular or oval tube, and a short border composed of 4 short erect lobes and 

 one (the lower) spreading or reflcxed. Fertile stamens short and included; 

 the rudiment which answers to the fifth is a little scale at the summit of the 

 tube of the coroUa.
