 with the genus Prostanthera, in the characters given below.)

 mens 4, didynamous, shorter than the corolla ; lower ones some- 

 times the longest and sometimes abortive. Achenia coriaceous, 

 wrinkled reticulately. Style almost permanent. 



LX. CHILODIA (from x A e> cheilos, a lip, and oriove, 

 odous, a tooth ; application not evident.) R. Br. prod. p. 507.

 largest and bifid, all flat and spreading. Stamens 4, nearly 

 equal, shorter than the tube ; filaments glabrous, naked ; an- 

 thers 2-celled : cells parallel, glabrous, naked, mutic. Style 

 shortly bifid at apex ; lobes unequal, stigmatiferous at apex. A 

 shrub, with the habit of Prostanthera.
