 and calyxes. Cymes usually elongated as in A, Malabdrica, 

 but the flowers are fewer. Calyx elongated, having the teeth as 

 in A. ovata.

 Peninsula, on the mountains of Madura ; and of Ceylon, at Pe- 

 radenia. Habit intermediate, between A. ovata, and .4. Malaba- 

 rica, but is more nearly allied to the latter, from which it differs 

 in the broader less tomentose leaves, and broader calycine teeth.

Malabar Anisomeles. Fl. July, Aug. Clt. 1817. Shrub 2 

 to 5 feet. 



Cult. The species are of the most easy culture and propagation. 

 A light rich soil answers them well ; and cuttings strike root 

 readily in the same kind of soil.

LIN. SYST. Didynamia, Gymnospermia. Calyx tubularly cam- 

 panulate, somewhat 5-nerved, with a nearly equal mouth and 5 

 nearly equal teeth, or the superior teeth are the longest, some- 

 what spinescent at apex. Corolla with an exserted tube, which 

 is naked inside, a dilated throat, and a bilabiate limb ; upper lip 

 ovate, entire, arched ; lower lip spreading, trifid : the lateral 

 lobes ovate, and the middle lobe obcordate or somewhat bifid ; 

 palate furnished with an elevated tooth above, at the recess of 

 the lobes. Stamens 4, ascending, the lower two the longest ; 

 anthers 2-celled : cells opposite, transversely and bivalvately de- 

 hiscent; inner valve roundish, with ciliated edges: outer one 

 larger and naked. Style about equally bifid at top ; lobes subu- 

 late, stigmatiferous at apex. Annual divaricately branched erect 

 herbs, rarely decumbent at the base. Floral leaves almost simi- 

 lar to the cauline leaves. Whorls numerous, many-flowered, 

 distinct. Flowers red or cream-coloured, or variegated with 

 both these colours. This genus is readily distinguished from all 

 other labiate genera in the structure of the anthers.
