Calyx-teeth 5, equal. Corolla-tube short or long, the upper 
lip very short, truncate or emarginate, the lower lip long and 
spreading, the lateral lobes oblong, small, the middle lobe much 
larger, emarginate or bifid. Stamens 4, in pairs, exserted from the 
upper lip and arched over the corolla; anthers reniform, 1-celled 
by the confluence of the cells. Style shortly bifid at the end. Nuts 
laterally attached to near or above the middle, reticulate-rugose. 
— Herbs, usually diffuse or ascending or with spreading radical 
leaves and shortly erect stems. Flowers in false-whorls in the axils 
of floral leaves gradually smaller than the stem-leaves, the upper 
ones sometimes forming terminal leafy spikes. Bracts linear, or 
very small or none. 
The genus is widely dispersed over the extratropical regions of the 
Old World, and chiefly in the mountain districts within the tropics, but 
wanting in America.
