far. 13, minor (Benth. lab. p. 699.) G- H. Native of Syria, 

 near Aleppo, Russell. This variety is nearly allied to A. tridac-

 The whole plant has a highly aromatic odour, and was much es- 

 teemed in the same disorders as Teucrium Botrys, and was an in- 

 gredient in the Portland powder.

TOL. IV. 



herbaceous, glabrous ; leaves dilated at the base, deeply trifid, 

 with linear, quite entire lobes : floral leaves similar to the others ; 

 whorls 2-flowered ; calycine teeth lanceolate, obtuse, glabrous. 

 O- ? H. Native of Sicily and Syria. Teucrium laevigatum, 

 Russ. nat. hist, alepp. 2. p. 255. This differs from the preced- 

 ing by its being glabrous, and by the flowers being twice the 

 size ; and from A. Ckta by its being glabrous.

SECT. Ill PSETDOASISOMELES (so called from the species 

 having the habit of the genus Anisomeles, with the anthers of 

 A'juga. False Anisomeles.) Benth. lab. p. 700. Whorls 2-6- 

 flowered. Upper lip of corolla hardly thrice as short as the 

 lower lip. Australian plants. The two species have the caKx, 

 corolla, and nearly the habit of Anisomeles, with the anthers of 

 A'juga. The achenia have not been seen. 



27 A. ? VIRGA'TA (Benth. lab. p. 700.) stems elongated, twiggy, 

 nearly simple ; leaves oblong : cauline leaves coarsely serrated, 

 somewhat canescently villous : floral leaves quite entire, exceed- 

 ing the calyxes ; whorls distant, 2-6-flowered, disposed in long 

 racemes ; tube of corolla inclosed. 1( . ? G. Native of New- 

 Holland, in the interior, at the river Lachlan, Cunningham. 

 Stems pubescent. Leaves almost of Anisomeles ; lower ones 

 petiolate; upper ones sessile, narrow at the base, 1-2 inches 

 long. Flowers nearly sessile. 



Ttfiggy Bugle. PL 1 to 1$ foot. 



28 A.? TRIDENTA'TA (Benth. lab. p. 701.) stems elongated, 

 twiggy, simple ; cauline leaves oblong, petiolate : floral leaves 

 sessile, ovate, trifid at apex, exceeding the flowers ; whorls dis- 

 tant, 2-6-flowered, disposed in long racemes ; tube of corolla 

 exserted. y. . ? G. Native along with the preceding, Cunning- 

 ham. Whorls occupying the larger part of the stem, usually 2- 

 flowered. Flowers nearly sessile. Calyx glabrous or pubes- 

 cent, campanulate, deeply 5-toothed. This differs from the pre- 

 ceding in the smaller calyxes, larger corollas, and tridentate floral 

 leaves. 



Trirfentate-leaved Bugle. PL 1 to 1 foot. 



J- A species not tyfficiently known. 



29 A. RE" PENS (Roxb. fl. ind. S. p. Z.) biennial, procumbent, 

 villous ; leaves oblong-lanceolate, narrowed into the petioles at 

 the base, coarsely and unequally serrated ; spikes terminal, cy- 

 lindrical ; bracteas oblong, ventricose, 5-flowered, therefore the 

 whorls are 10-flowered. $ . G. Native of the East Indies, in 

 the province of Chittagong. A robust diffuse plant, having the 

 lower branches generally radicant. 



Creeping Bugle. PL robust. 



Cult. For culture and propagation see Teucrium, -p. 870. 

 Most of the species belonging to section Bugula require a 

 moist soil. 



CX. CYMA'RIA (from cyma, a cyme ; in allusion to the 

 flowers being disposed in cymes.) Benth. in bot. reg. vol. 15. 

 lab. p. 705. 



Lix. SYST. Dtdynamia, Gymnospermia. Calyx nearly globose, 

 about 10-nerved, equal, 5-toothed; throat coarctate, naked inside. 

 Corolla with a subexserted straight tube and a bilabiate limb ; 

 lips nearly equal ; upper lip erect, entire, arched ; lower lip 

 spreading, trifid, having the middle segment entire. Stamens 4, 

 ascending under the lower lip, didynamous ; lower ones the 

 longest ; anthers 2-celled : cells at length divaricate. Upper 

 lobe of style very short ; stigmas minute. Achenia dry, wrin- 

 kled. Shrubs. Flowers small, cymose ; cymes racemose. This 

 genus resembles Craniotome and Plectrdnthus in habit ; yet the 

 rugose achenia, less deeply separated than in most Labiata;
