 da has narrower leaves, equally serrate, tonien- 

 beneath, flat : the spike is composed of 

 whorls or scattered flowers, with a verv small 

 bracte under each. But the garden plant has 

 larger wrinkled leaves, unequally senate, scarcely

 the flowers are collected ill round bunches at the

The N rroM leaved Yell >••■' Polcy, which has 

 woody st.dks, erec . >«ng, a id ci

 hiirii : the lca> ry woolly, about half an
