LABIATES. 



In this family much remains to be done even 

 after the labors of Bentham and mine in fl. tel- 

 lar. Our Gr. Pycnanthes, Teucrium, BruH" 

 nella^ Lpcopus, Mentha, Salvia, Monarda^ 

 Scutellaria &c are yet susceptible of revision 

 and improvement. My G. Euhemus 1830 

 Med. fl. for Lycopus Virginicus and akin sp, 

 must be admitted like my JUephilia, Vleckia^ 

 Blephiloma and others of fl. teliur. I shall only 

 add now a few presumed new species, others 

 are in 2d part of this work. 



978. Mentha cinekea R. cinereous pubes- 

 cent, leaves subsessile ovatoblong acute sharply 

 serrate, spikes terminal verticillate naked,bracts 

 subulate equal to flowers, stamens included — in 

 the Welsh Mts. of Vlle^hanies in Pennsylv. dis- 

 covered 1804 again 1834, habit of M, tenuis 

 less odorous, root creeping, many stems erect, 

 pedal almost hirsute, leaves uncial quite cine- 

 reous beneath, less above, spikes short, flowers 

 small white, calix and bracts cinereous almost 

 canescent. — I have several other sp. of Mint, 

 M, capitata, M, dentata, pectinata, ciliataf 

 trachiloma <Slc, but some are doubtful, and the 

 two last belong to Fulegiurn like M. canaden- 

 sis and borealis. 



979. Vleckia bracteata R. leaves petiolate 

 cordate acute grossly serrate, spike sessile 

 bracts also and ovate acute foliose longer than 

 flowers — in Florida, pedal, stem fuscate, leaves 

 uncial not large, spike sessile, rather short,bracts 

 large remarkable. This perhaps may form a 

 subg. the habit and flowers are of Vleckia, but 

 calix more campanulate striate with very une- 

 qual teeth, Psalion Raf. see fl. tel. 786.
