Cult. The greater number of the species grow best in a dry 

 soil and shady situation ; but T. Scordium and T. lanuginbsum 

 require a moist boggy soil. All the perennial herbaceous kinds 

 are readily propagated by division and by seeds. Most of the 

 shrubby species being rather tender require the protection of a 

 frame or greenhouse in winter ; and they are readily increased 

 by cuttings of young wood. The seeds of annual kinds only 

 require to be sown in the open border in spring, where they are 

 intended to remain. 



CIX. A'JUGA (said to be from a priv. and fuyoe, zugos, a 

 yoke ; in reference to the calyx being equal, not bilabiate ; or 

 either from Abigo, or from a priv. and Jugo, to yoke ; both 

 from a supposed power of procuring abortion, which, however, 

 the plants do not possess.) Benth. lab. p. 690. A'juga and 

 Teucrium species, Lin. and other authors. Phleboanthe, Tauch. 

 Bugula and Chamse'pithys, Tourn. 



LIN. SYST. Didynarnia, Gymnospermia. Calyx ovate or glo- 

 bosely campanulate, nearly equal, 5-cleft or toothed. Corolla 

 with an inclosed or exserted tube, straight or somewhat spirally 

 twisted, usually furnished with a pilose ring inside ; limb bilabi- 

 ate ; upper lip short, but generally very short, emarginate : 

 lower lip elongated, spreading, trifid, having the lateral segments 

 oblong, and the middle segment broader, emarginate, or bifid. 

 Stamens 4, ascending, usually exserted from the upper lip, didy- 

 namous, lower ones the longest ; anthers 2-celled : cells diverg- 

 ing or divaricate, at length confluent. Style about equally bifid 

 at top ; stigmas minute. Achenia reticulately wrinkled. Annual 

 or perennial herbs, usually procumbent or ascending, sometimes 

 stoloniferous. Whorls 2 or many-flowered, dense, sometimes 

 all axillary, when the floral leaves conform to the cauline 

 ones ; sometimes the superior whorls are approximate into 

 spikes, then the floral leaves are small, and of a different form 

 from the cauline ones.
