Stem erect, from two to three feet high, square, with winged sub-mem- 

 branous angles, simple or branched, smooth and shining. Leaves opposite, 

 oblong, obtuse, heart-shaped at the base, the upper ones sometimes ovate, 

 heart-shaped, and all or part of them having on each side at the base a 

 narrowish ovate spreading auriculated appendage, quite smooth, and 

 shining, dark green above, pale and dull beneath, with a stout mid- 

 rib and lateral branches, the margin of the lower ones obtusely 

 crenated, of the upper sometimes acutely crenated, petioles winged on 

 the edges. Inflorescence similar to the last species, a long terminal 

 panicle, the branches short, bearing numerous flowers in sub-corymbose 

 clusters, more or less thickly scattered over with short glandular hairs. 

 Bracteas awl-shaped. Calyx in five roundish very obtuse segments, 

 with a pale thin membranous margin, often fimbriated on the edge. 

 Corolla larger than the last species, a deep purplish red, the tube sub- 

 globose, slightly green at the base, the upper lip straight, of two 

 roundish obtuse lobes, having at the base within a roundish obtuse 

 notched scale. Stamens with short filaments and rather large anthers. 

 Style simple. Stigmas obtuse. Capsule broad, sub-globose, acute. 

 Seeds small, rough, wrinkled, dark brown, numerous. 



Habitat. On the banks of a stream in the Bottoms, Mansfield, 

 Nottinghamshire. 



Perennial ; flowering in July. 



This species we have had in our collection some years as a variety of 

 the S. aquatica, from which species, however, it is distinguished by its 

 ovate oblong auricular crenated leaves, its larger darker coloured 

 flowers, and the scale of the upper lip being roundish, scarcely notched, 

 not bifid. The capsule is larger and broader, depressed, globose, acute. 

 We have not found it except in the above situation, where it was growing 

 luxuriantly.
