5. Clinopodium macrocalyx Small. Similar to C. coccineum in habit : leaf -blades

6. Clinopodium Carolinianum (Michx.) Heller. A branching shrub 2-6 dm. tall, 

 the branches finely pubescent : leaf -blades firm, ovate, oval or oblong, obtuse, 1-3 cm. long, 

 shallowly serrate, narrowed into short petioles : clusters few-flowered, sometimes peduncled : 

 calyx 5-6 mm. long, glandular-dotted ; tube strongly ribbed, villous in the throat ; upper 

 lip curving upward, 2-3-toothed, the lower lip of 2 lanceolate lobes : corolla white or pink- 

 purple, and purple spotted, 10-13 mm. long, minutely pubescent, the upper lip notched, 

 the lower lip 3-lobed : filaments and style glabrous : nutlets about 1 mm. long, granular.
