CALAMINTHA, Benth. 



C. glabella, Benth. Herbaceous, smooth ; stems slender (1 -2 high) ; 

 leaves ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, sparingly serrate, short-petioled ; whorls 

 mostly 6-flowered, sessile, the spreading pedicels twice as long as the calyx, 

 and commonly longer than the lanceolate acute bracts ; corolla pale purple. 

 (Cunila glabella, Michx.) Rocky banks, Tennessee. 



SALVIA, L. 



S. lanceolata, Willd. Stem low (6' -12' high), smooth, the branches 

 pubescent; leaves lanceolate-linear, obtuse, obscurely serrate (l|'-2' long), 

 narrowed to a petiole, the floral ones subulate ; whorls distant, mostly 2- 

 flowered ; corolla blue, scarcely longer than the smooth calyx. East 

 Florida (Gray), and far west. 



S. OCCidentalis, Swartz. Stem long (2 -6), creeping, retrorsely pu- 

 bescent, the internodes swollen ; leaves short-petioled, ovate, acute, serrate ; 

 racemes spike-like, many-flowered ; whorls distant, mostly 6-flowered, as 

 long as the ovate acuminate bracts ; calyx glandular-villous, half as long as 

 the blue corolla, the teeth obtuse ; lobes of the style flat, rounded. Miami, 

 South Florida (Garber). 



S. privoides, Benth., var. Garberi. Chiefly like the preceding, but 

 the whorls less crowded and more distant, the calyx larger in fruit (3" 4" 

 long), the broad teeth abruptly contracted into an awn-like point, and both 

 lobes of the style rounded. (S. occidentalis, var. Garberi, Chapm.) 

 Manatee, South Florida (Garber). 



SCUTELLARIA, L. 



S. saxatilis, Riddell. Smooth, or nearly so ; leaves thinner, obtuse, less 

 strongly crenate-toothed ; otherwise like 6". arguta, Buckley, which appears 

 to be scarcely a variety of it. Shady woods, Tennessee, and northward. 



S. montana, Chapm. Softly pubescent; stem mostly simple (l|-2 

 high) ; leaves of the stem, and lowest floral ones, ovate or oblong-ovate, 

 coarsely serrate, acute at each end, or the lowest ones cordate; racemes few- 

 flowered; corolla large (l'-l' long), blue, the ample lower lip nearly as 

 long as the upper one. Dry woods, and margins of fields, on the mountains 

 of Georgia. 



S. CANESCENS, Nutt, is nearly like the var. punctata of the first edition, 

 but is taller (3 -4 high), smooth or canescent, and leaves generally longer 

 and narrower. Mountains of Georgia, Tennesseee, and northward. 



SYNANDRA, Nutt. 



Calyx inflated, bell-shaped, 4-toothed. Corolla 2-lipped, the upper lip 

 e'ntire, the lower broadly 3-lobed, spreading. Stamens 4, ascending under 

 the upper lip, hairy ; anthers smooth, the contiguous cells of the upper pair 

 smaller, sterile, and connate. Nutlets^large, smooth, angular.
