 from the other species of this section, but it is allied in characters 

 to P. breviflora. Leaves all petiolate, green, rather fleshy, ? 

 nearly glabrous, 4-6 inches long. Corollas yellowish, ex Wall, 

 similar to those of P. breviflora. Stamens a little exserted.

Wrinkled-leaved Phlomis. Shrub. 



N.B. P. condensata, Mart. ex. Steud. nom. and P. scariosa, 

 Presl. ex Steud. nom. are only known by name. 



Cult. All the species of Phlomis prefer a light dry soil, in 

 which even the more tender kinds will endure our winters. The 

 shrubby kinds are readily increased by young cuttings in spring ; 

 and the herbaceous perennial species by division and seeds. 

 Those marked frame should be protected in winter from frosts. 

 Being all ornamental, they are worth cultivating in every col- 

 lection.

 X a( r>?, chaile, a bristle or beard ; in reference to the nerves of 

 the calyx being drawn out into stiff hooked bristles under the
