386 SMALL: PLANT NOVELTIES FROM FLORIDA 
flowered species was discovered at several localities. It grows 
on the otherwise desert-like sands by the acre, and when in 
flower is very conspicuous and so plentiful as to make extensive 
seas of lavender in the landscape. Recently this plant was 
described as a new species of Satureja. The preceding descrip- 
tion was made in the field in April, 1923. 
This labiate technically belongs to Clinepodium, and it is

may be considered as distantly related to Clincpodium coccineum 
and C. macrocalyx, but the proportions of the parts and colors 
of the flowers are quite different.

Lavender-shaded flowers of an odd type may be seen on 
shrubby plants in the “scrub” of the lower eastern coast of 
Florida during any month of the year. The habit of the plants 
of Conradina canescens is stiff and compact. That of C. grandt- 
flora conveys the opposite impression The stem and branches 
are elongate and straggling, and sometimes when growing among
