 petiole -| in., very slender. Corolla very small. The specimens are far from

RootstocJc stout, woody ; stem 2-3 ft., often woody ; branches stout, obtusely 

 4-angled. Leaves 1-3 in., lower shortly petioled, sometimes silky beneath, nerves 

 above impressed. Whorls dense-fld. Calyx-teeth variable, always very short. 

 Dalzell's L. collina is in no point different enough to be a marked variety ; some states 

 of it have the leaves beautifully silky beneath. The Parusnath specimens have a 

 smaller calyx and browner more scurfy tomentum on the branches. The hairs of the 

 branches at once distinguish this from L. montana. A variety with longer setaceous 

 calyx-teeth and bracts half as long as the calyx, is in Dalzell's Herbarium, marked 

 " L. zeylanica." 



*** Perennial rooted. Branches 4-angled, hairs on them deflexed (also 

 spreading in L. pilosa). Calyx-teeth not 3 the length of the tube.
