 lobes broad. Corolla mostly red, tubular or tubular-f unnelf orm : tube elongated; 

 lobes very short. Stamens 4 : anther-sacs divergent. Styles united. Capsule ovoid or 

 globose. Differs from Pentstemon in being shrubs and in the absence of a stami- 

 nodium. 



1. Russelia equisetifdrmiB Schlech. & Cham. Stems tufted spreading or arch- 

 ing, the branches striate. Leaves various, those of the twigs with spatulate or 

 obovate blades, 1-1.5 cm. long, those of the stem and branches reduced to short scales: 

 flowers numerous: calyx 3-4 mm. long; lobes ovate: corolla showy, bright red, 20-2S 

 mm. long; lobes ovate: capsules ovoid. 



In fields and waste places and on roadsides, peninsular Florida. Naturalized from. 

 Mexico. All year. CORAL FLOWER. FOUNTAIN PLANT. 



Page 1063, after Mimulus ringens, insert: 



12a. MAZUS Lour. 



Annual or perennial low herbs. Leaves opposite or alternate above: blade* 

 rather broad, those of the lower and the upper leaves often different, all usually 

 toothed. Flowers in open racemes. Calyx scarcely 2-lipped: tube campanulate, 

 terete; lobes 5, about as long as the tube. Corolla white or blue, strongly 2-lipped; 

 tube short: lips broad, the upper one with 2 minute apical lobes, the lower one much 

 longer than the upper, with 3 broad lobes. Stamens 4, paired: anther-sacs divergent. 

 Styles united to the 2-lobed stigma. Capsule loculicidally 2-valved, included, except 

 the apex. Differs from Mimulus in the short terete calyx-tube and the minute lobes 

 of the upper corolla-lip. 



1. Mazua rugosus Lour. Plants 2-15 cm. tall, pubescent, the stems simple or 

 sparingly branched: leaf -blades spatulate, 16 cm. long, coarsely few-toothed: flowers 

 slender-pedicelled : calyx-lobes oblong to lanceolate, becoming 3.54.5 mm. long, spread- 

 ing at maturity: corolla blue, 8-11 mm. long, the lobes of the upper lip minute,. 

 those of the lower lip relatively very large and as wide as long: capsules ovoid, 2.5- 

 3.5 mm. long. 



In ditches and cultivated grounds, southern Louisiana. Naturalized from Asia. Spring: 

 to fall.

Page 1070, after Veronica Byzantina., insert: 



la. Veronica hederaefolia L. Annual, pubescent. Stem branched at the base,, 

 the branches reclining or decumbent: leaf -blades reniform to orbicular-reniform,

 pedicels as long as the leaves or slightly shorter: calyx-lobes ovate, 3-4.5 mm. long,, 

 acute: corolla about as long as the calyx or shorter: capsules depressed, slightly 

 2-lobed, 5-6 mm. broad. Differs from V. Byzantina in the small corolla and the few-

 sparingly branched: leaves few: blades of the upper cauline leaves narowly linear, 

 mostly less than 1.5 mm. wide: calyx-tube campanulate, 3-3.5 mm. long; lobes mostly 

 less than \ the length of the tube: corolla about 1 cm. long: capsules 3.5-4.5 mm.
