23 P. CASHMERIA'NA (Royle, ex Benth. in Hook. bot. misc. 

 S. p. 382. lab. p. 630.) herbaceous, erect: stem densely clothed 

 with floccose tomentum; leaves ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, cre- 

 nated towards the apex, broadly rounded at the base, wrinkled, 

 pubescent or villous above, and clothed with dense white tomen- 

 tum beneath ; bracteas subulate, ciliated, longer than the ca- 

 lyxes ; calyx clothed with floccose wool, with subalate stiff 

 spreading teeth. I/. H. Native in the valley of Cashmere, 



Royle. Corollas larger than in P. herba-venti and P. pungens,

 Cashmere Phlomis. PI. 1 to 1| foot.? 



24 P. HE'RBA-VE'NTI (Lin. spec. 819.) herbaceous, erect, diva- 

 rica(ely much branched ; branches beset with long hairs ; leaves 

 oblong-lanceolate, crenated, rounded at the base, coriaceous, 

 green on both surfaces, or canescent beneath, always shining 

 and rather scabrous above ; bracteas subulate, ciliated, longer 

 than the calyxes; calyx hairy, with subulate stiff rather spread- 

 ing ceeth. If. . H. Native of the region of the Mediterranean,

 mag. t. 2449. Sibth. et Smith, fl. graec. t. 564. Sabb. hort. 

 rom. 3. t. 17. Branches green or purplish. Leaves often 6-8 

 inches long : floral ones sessile, all much exceeding the whorls. 

 Whorls 10-20-flowered. Corollas purplish-violet, tomentose 

 outside. Appendages of upper filaments acute, sub-recurved. In 

 autumn, after the substance of the leaves has decayed, the 

 veins remain perfect, showing the complete skeletons of them ; 

 hence the specific name. We believe this is also the case in P. 

 pungens.

 whorls are more numerous, usually 6-10-flowered, &c. Corolla 

 purplish-violet.
