 bracts oblong-ovate or orbicular, obtuse : pedicels very short : calyx becoming 1 cm. long, 

 glabrous or nearly so ; lobes about as long as the tube, the larger ones slightly notched : 

 corolla white, 2.5-3 cm. long, the upper lip hooded, nearly erect, the lower lip spreading, 

 the lobes emarginate or nearly truncate. 



In pine-land swamps, Florida. Summer. 



2. Macbridea pulchra Ell. Stems erect, 3-6 dm. tall, usually simple : leaf-blades 

 elliptic, oblong or linear-elliptic, 4-8 cm. long, acute or acuminate at both ends, undulate 

 or repand-serrate, the lower slender-petioled, the upper sessile : panicles few-flowered : 

 bracts ovate or oblong, mostly obtuse : pedicels very short : calyx becoming 1 cm. long ; 

 lobes shorter than the tube, entire or the larger ones oblique or emarginate : corolla rose- 

 purple striped with white and purple, 3-3.5 cm. long; tube abruptly dilated near the 

 middle, the upper lip suborbicular, 1 cm. in diameter, the lower lip with a notched middle 

 lobe and truncate lateral 'lobes. 



In swamps, North Carolina to Florida and Alabama. Summer and fall. 



14. PHYSOSTEGIA L. 



Perennial herbs, with glabrous or puberulent foliage and simple or sparingly branched 

 steins. Leaves opposite : blades rather narrow, usually toothed above an entire base. 

 Flowers in terminal spike-like racemes. Calyx campanulate, more or less inflated and open 

 at maturity : tube 5-ribbed : lobes 5, equal. Corolla white, pink, violet or purple, showy, 

 2-lipped : tube dilated upward : upper lip entire : lower lip 3-lobed, the middle lobe often 

 emarginate. Stamens 4 : filaments all anther-bearing : anthers 2-celled ; sacs parallel or 

 nearly so. Nutlets somewhat 3-angled, smooth. 



Corolla less than 2 cm. long. 



Mature calyx campanulate, 5 mm. long, or shorter : stems naked or sparingly leafy above : Texan 



species. 1. P. intermedia. 



Mature calyx tubular, 8-9 mm. long : stems copiously leafy to the inflorescence : 



Georgian species. 2. P. veroniciformis. 



Corolla over 2 cm. long. 



Leaf-blades entire or with blunt teeth. 



Racemes loosely and relatively few-flowered, interrupted at maturity. 



Mature calyx campanulate, 5-6.5 mm. long : upper leaves but slightly re- 

 duced. 3. P. leptophylla. 

 Mature calyx tubular, 9-11 mm. long: upper leaves conspicuously reduced. 4. P. denticulata. 

 Racemes closely many-flowered, continuous. 5. P. Digitalis. 

 Leaf-blades copiously toothed Avith very acute serrations. 6. P. Virginiana. 



1. Physoategia intermedia (Nutt. ) A. Gray. Stems erect or ascending, 3-9 dm. 

 long, simple or rarely branched : leaves few ; blades linear to linear-lanceolate, 2-6 cm.
