The genus Orthosiphon has much of the habit, the calyx, and 
most of the characters of Ocimum; but the tube of the corolla 
is usually longer, and the apex of the style, instead of being 
divided into two linear pointed lobes, is almost entire and capi- 
tate, with a terminal stigmatic surface. The species are all 
Asiatic or African, excepting a remarkable one, contained in the 
South American herbarium transmitted by Pavon to the late 
Mr. Lambert, but of which the precise station is as yet un- 
known. Bentham.
