LABIATES. 



In this family much remains to be done even 

 after the labors of Bentham and mine in fl. tel- 

 lur. Our G. Pycnanthe.s, Teucrium, Brun- 

 nella, Lye opus, Mentha, Salma^ Monarda^ 

 Scutellaria &c are yet susceptible of revision 

 and improvement. My G. Euhemus 1830 

 Med. fl. for Lycopus Virginicus and akin sp, 

 must be admitted like my JUephitia, Vl<ckia, 

 Blephiloma and others of fl. tellur. I shall only 

 add now a few presumed new species, others 

 are in 2d part of this work. 



978. MENTHA CINEKEA R. cinereous pubes- 

 cent, leaves subsessile ovatoblong acute sharply 

 serrate, spikes terminal verticillate naked, bracts 

 subulate equal to flowers, stamens included in 

 the Welsh Mts. of Vlleghanies in Pennsylv. dis- 

 covered 1804 again 1834, habit of M. tennis 

 less odorous, root creeping, many stems erect, 

 pedal almost hirsute, leaves uncial quite cine- 

 reous beneath, less above, spikes short, flowers 

 small white, calix and bracts cinereous almost 

 canescent. I have several other sp. of Mint, 

 M. capitata, M. dentata, prcthiata, ciliata, 

 trachiloma &c, but some are doubtful, and the 

 two last belong to Pulegium like M. canadcn- 

 sis and borealis. 



979. VLECKIA BRACTEATA R. leaves petiolate 

 cordate acute grossly serrate, spike sessile 

 bracts also and ovate acute foliose longer than 

 flowers in Florida, pedal, stem fuscate, leaves 

 uncial not large, spike sessile, rather short, bracts 

 large remarkable. This perhaps may form a 

 subg. the habit and flowers are of Vleckia, but 

 calix more campanulate striate with very une- 

 qual teeth, Psalion Raf. see A. tel. 786.
