250 The Flowering Plants of Western India. 



I have not been able to make use of Jff.'s distinctions of tribes and 

 sub-tribes, but have mentioned, as they occur, any characteristics 

 common to two or three genera. The generic distinctions chiefly 

 depend on the calyx and corolla. 



No. 11 is the only genus here given which has only two stamens. 



1. OOIMUM. Racemes bearing whorls of 6 to 10 flowers ; 

 calyx with upper tooth very large and decurrent, corolla tube 

 short, upper lip equally 4-lobed, lower lip entire ; calyx deflexed 

 in fruit, stigma bifid. 



2. OETHOSIPHON. Kacemes bearing whorls of 6 flowers or 

 less, calyx with upper tooth broad, membranous, decurrent, 

 corolla tube often long, upper lip 3 or 4 divided, lower entire 

 concave, calyx deflexed in fruit ; stigma entire. 



3. PLECTRANTHUS. Calyx 5-toothed, 2-lipped, the upper lobe 

 broad, enlarged in fruit, upper lip of corolla 3 or 4 divided, 

 lower much longer, boat-shaped, filaments free. 



4. COLEUS. As the last, but the filaments combined below 

 into a sheath round the style (which distinguishes this genus 

 from all others in the order. Don). 



5. ANISOGHILTJS. Flowers in dense spikes, calyx inflated 

 below the middle, corolla tube slender curved, upper lip short, 

 lower long concave, disk lobed. 



6. LAVANDULA. Leaves divided, flowers in spikes, calyx 5- 

 toothed, upper lip of corolla bifid, lower trifid, lobes spreading, 

 stamens included. 



7. POGOSTEMON. Spikes or contracted racemes bearing whorls 

 of many very small flowers crowded together ; calyx equally 4 

 or 5 cleft, corolla lobes 4, lower usually the longest, filaments 

 bearded. 



8. DTSOPHYLLA. Small plants generally with whorled leaves, 

 flowers in dense spikes, calyx ovoid equally 5-toothed, corolla 

 equally 4-lobed, filaments bearded. 



9. COLEBROOKIA. A densely woolly shrub, whorls dense in 

 spikes or panicles, calyx teeth long subulate feathery, corolla 

 minute, lobes 4, about equal, stamens included. 



10. MICROMERIA. Whorls axillary or in terminal spikes, 

 upper lip of corolla erect flattish, entire or nearly so, lower 

 spreading 5-lobed, anthers with a connective. 



11. SALVIA. Whorls of flowers in racemes or spikes, calyx 

 2-lipped, upper lip of corolla erect arched, lower 3-lobed, 

 stamens 2, anthers with a connective. 



12. SCUTELLARIA. Calyx 2-lipped, completely closing over
