BORAGINACE^. 87 



A JUG A ALPINA. Lmn. 



The British plants recorded under this name are partly A. repens, 

 and partly A. Genevensis. I do not know if there be a Scandinavian 

 A. alpina, distinct from A. reptans, as I have not seen specimens of 

 the plant which Fries calls by that name. 



AJUGA GENEVENSIS. Linn. 

 (A. alpina, Sm.) Eng. Bot. 477. 



Figured in Eng. Bot. from a plant sent by Mr, Robson from Durham. 

 Dr. J. Hooker many years ago sent Mr. Watson a specimen among 

 plants collected in Lanarkshire. There is also an example of it from 

 Wales in Buddie's Herbarium. 



TEUCRIUM SCORDIOIDES. Schreh. 



Supposed to be British, but a state T. Scordium was mistaken for it. 



TEUCRIUM REGIUM. Sch-eh. 



Said to have been found on the slope of the Blorenge, near Aberga- 

 venny, by Mr. E. Y. Steele. 



ORDER LIV.— BORAGINACE^. 



Herbs, more rarely shrubs, usually rough with simple or sometimes 

 stellate hairs. Leaves (except sometimes those at the base of the 

 mflorescence) alternate, undivided, generally entire, without stipules. 

 Flowers perfect, regular or slightly irregular, generally in scorpioid 

 I'acemes or spikes ; racemes commonly arranged in pairs, rolled up in 

 bud, but straightening out in fruit. Calyx persistent, often enlarging 

 in fruit, free from the ovary, 5-cleft or 5-partite, rarely 4-cleft. Corolla 

 deciduous, hy|30gynous, monopetalous, salvershaped or rotate or clavate 

 cylindrical or funnelshaped, rarely subbilabiate ; limb 5-lobed or 5-cleft, 

 frequently with 5 scales or bosses at the throat. Stamens 5, inserted in 

 the tube or throat of the corolla, alternate with its lobes, exserted or 

 included. Ovary of 2 carpels, each of which is usually so deeply divided 

 that the ovary is 4-celled and 4-lobed, with a single style coming from 

 the centre of the 4 lobes, and consequently apparently from the base 

 of the carpels, rarely terminal when the adhesion between the lobes of 

 the ovary is more complete; stigma simple or bifid. Ovules 1 in 

 each cell of the ovary. Fruit of (generally) 4 separate indehiscent
