• Tree, with large and opposite Catalpa-like leaves. 



1. PAULOWNIA. Calyx very downy, deeply 5-cleft. Corolla decurved, with a cylindrical 



or funnel-form tube, and an enlarged oblique border of 5 rounded lobes. Stamens 

 4, included. Pod turgid and top-shaped, tilled with very numerous winged seeds. 



» » Herbs, or a few becoming low shrubs. 



■*- Anther-bearing stamens .5, and a wheel-shaped or barely concave corolla. 



2. VERBASCUM. Flowers in a long terminal raceme or spike. Calyx 5-parted. Corolla 



with 5 broad and rounded only slightly unequal dinsions. All the filaments or 3 of

■I- -I- Anther-bearing stamens only 2 or 4. 



♦+ Flower with corolla wheel shaped, or at least with wide spreading border mostly 

 much longer than the short tube ; flowers single in the axils of the leaves or col- 

 lected in a raceme or spike. 



3. CELSIA. Like Verbascum, but with only 4 stamens, those of 2 sorts. 



4. ALONSOA. Calyx 5-parted. Corolla very unequal, turned upside down by the twist- 



ing of the pedicel, so that the much larger lower lobe appears to be the upper and 

 the two short upper lobes the lower. Stamens 4. Pod many-seeded. Lower leaves 

 opposite or in threes. 



5. VERONICA. Calyx 4-parted, rarely 3-5-parted. Corolla wheel-shaped, or sometimes 



salver-shaped, with 4 or rarely 5 rounded lobes, one or two of them usually rather 

 smaller. Stamens 2, with long slender filaments. Pod flat or flattish, 2-many- 

 seeded. At least the lower leaves opposite or sometimes whorled. 



++ <-f Flower with corolla solver-shaped, with almost regular i-tt-lobed border ; flowei'S 

 in a terminal spike. Here one species of Ko. 5 might be sought. 



6. BUCHNERA. Calyx tubular, 5-toothed. Corolla with a slender tube, and the border 



cleft into 5 roundish divisions. Anthers 4 in 2 pairs, 1-celled. Style club-shaped 

 at the apex. Pod many-seeded. Leaves mainly opposite, roughish. 



++++++ Flower with corolla either obviously i-lipped, or funnel-form, tubular or bell- 

 shaped. 



— Corolla •2-parted nearly to the base, the 2 lips sac-shaped or the lower larger one 



slipper- shaped ; stamens only -l (or very rarely y), and no rudiments of more. 



7. CALCEOLARIA. Calyx 4-parted. The two sac-shaped or slipper-shaped divisions of 



the corolla entire or nearly so. Pod many-seeded. Leaves chiefly opposite, and 

 flowers in cyiues or clusters. 



— = Corolla almost 2-parted, the middle lobe of the lower lip folded together to form 



aflat pocket which incloses the 4 stamens and the style. 



8. COLLINSIA. Calyx deeply 5-cleft. Corolla turned down, its short tube laterally 



flattened, strongly bulging on the upper side ; upper lip 2-cleft and turned back ; the 

 lower one larger and 3-lobed, its middle and laterally flattened pocket-shaped lobe 

 covered above by the two lateral ones. A little rudiment of the fifth stamen present.' 

 Pod globular, with few or several seeds. Flowers on pedicels single or mostlj' clus- 

 tered in the axils of the upper opposite (rarely whorled) leaves, which are gradually 

 reduced to bracts, forming an interrupted raceme. 



^ -= ■= Corolla not ^-parted nor salver shaped, but with a tube of some length in pro- 

 portion to the 'Zlipped or more or less irregular (rarely nearly regular) 4-5- 

 lobed border. 



I A spur or sac-like projection at the base on the lower side, and a projecting palate to 

 the lower lip, which commonly closes the throat or nearly so ; stamens 4, and no 

 obvious rudiment. 



9. LINARIA. Calyx 5-parted. Corolla personate, and with a spur at base. (Lessons, 



Fig'. 25S.) Pod many-seeded, opening by a hole or chink which forms below the 

 summit of eacti ceQ.
