5. PAULOWNIA. Siebold. 
Calyx deeply 5-cleft, fleshy ; cor. tube long, declinate, enlarged

Branches crooked, nearly horizontal. Leaves 7—12’ by 4—9’, opposite, petio- 
late, broad cordate-ovate, entire or somewhat trilobate, villous-canescent both 
sides, smoothish above when full grown. Panicles large, terminal, many-

6. SCROPHULARIA. 
So named from the resemblance of the roots to scrofulous tumors. 
Calyx in 5 acute segments; corolla subglobose, limb contracted, 
sub-bilabiate, lip with an internal, intermediate scale (sterile filament) ; 
capsule 2-celled ; valves with 2 inflated margins——Herbs or suffruti- 
cose, often fetid. Lws. opposite. Cymes in simple or compound terminal, 
thyrsoid panicles. 
S. noposa (and S. Marilandica. Linn. S. lanceolata. Pursh.) Figwort. 
Glabrous; s/. angled; lvs. ovate, ovate-oblong, or the upper lanceolate, 
acute, serrate or subincised, base broadly cordate or rounded or acutish; thyrse 
oblong, leafless or scarcely leafy at base; cymes pedunculate, loosely many- 
flowered; cal. segments broadly ovate, obtuse, slightly margined; sterile anth. 
broadly orbicular. Bentham.—2. In woods and hedges, Can. U.S. and Cal.; 
also in Europe. Rare in N. Eng. Stem square, 4—6f high, with paniculate, 
opposite branches above. Leaves 3—7’ long, smooth, thin, often long-acumi- 
nate. Flowers ovoid, 3—4” long. Limb very small, sublabiate, having a 
green scale (sterile filament) adnate to the upper side. July—Oct.—The plant 
is quite variable in the form of the upper leaves and in the development of the 
anicle; but having observed it in numerous localities in the Middle and 
estern States, I cheerfully concur in the present view of Mr. Bentham.
