Calyx bell-shaped, inflated, membranaceous, irregularly veiny. Corolla with 

 a long tube, much expanded above and at the throat ; the upper lip slightly 

 arched, entire, the lower spreading and 3-cleft, with ovate lobes, the middle one 

 broadest and notched at the end. Filaments hairy ; anthers approximate in 

 pairs under the upper lip ; the two upper each with one fertile and one smaller 

 sterile cell, the latter cells cohering together (whence the name ; from avv, 

 together, and bvfip, for anther). 



1. S. hispidula (Michx.) Britton. Hairy biennial, 3-6 dm. high; lower 

 leaves long-petioled, broadly ovate, heart-shaped, crenate, thin, the floral sessile, 

 gradually reduced to bracts, each with a single sessile flower ; corolla 3-4 cm.

 cending under the upper lip ; the filaments of the upper pair longer than the 

 others in P. tuberosa, with an awl-shaped appendage at base ; anther-cells di-

 lobes ovate, the middle one inversely heart-shaped ; palate with 2 teeth at the 

 sinuses. Annuals, with spreading branches, and several-many-flowered whorls 

 in the axils of floral leaves which are nearly like the lower ones. (Name com- 

 posed of 7aX^rj, a weasel, and fyu, appearance, from some fancied likeness of 

 the corolla to the head of a weasel. )
