stipule membranaceze magnæ oblongz, infra medium centro 
carinato-alatze. Fol. breve petiolatis ovato vel oblongo-lanceo- 
lata cuspidato-acuminata coriacea subtus albida 2 darie vena 
arcuate. 
Spicæ capituliform. axillares, livido-purpurez horizontales, 
Seu j cernuz ; surrounded by a. peltately attached, subseve- 
ral-lobed involucre, os calycem bilabiata et inaequaliter tube- 
form. 
Cor. bilabiata tubo infundibul. calyce paullo longior. 
the upper lip in depressed segments narrower, conspicuous 
uncinato-carinate parallel. 
Lower 3 diverging, reflexed carinato-uncinate at the summits 
or deorsum. 
Cal. of flower bilabiate, lab. inferior subintegro, superior 
9-dentato majore often nearly entire. Stam. inserted about the 
centre of the tube, which is papillous, or at the back of the 
anthers hairy.

Young fruit 2-celled, few seeded, terminated by the trump-
