Genus RAMONA Greene. 



Per aromatic herbs or shrubby 

 plants, with rugose veiny mostly cren- 

 ulate Ivs, and rather showy fls, capi- 

 tate-glomerate or sometimes more 

 open and paniculate: ex bilabiate, 

 mostly deeply cleft on the lower side 

 as if spathaceous: cor strongly 2-lip- 

 ped, upper lip spreading, 2-lobed or 

 emarginate: anth-bearing sta 2; flls 

 slender, exserted, apparently simple 

 and bearing a linear 1-celled anth, or 

 with an articulation showing that the 

 portion above it answers to a filiform 

 connective, the lower end of which 

 sometimes projects into a subulate 

 point: Otherwise as in Salvia (in- 

 cluded in Salvia by some botanists).

Greene, CNH 10:73 (16 Jl 1906), 

 describes this as follows: "Mature

 lightly rugulose, quite as prominently 

 tuberculate, minutely and not dense- 

 ly puberulent, those a year old gla- 

 brate, the tuberculation more prom- 

 inent, the rugosity less so: leaves 

 ample, firm, but not subcoriaceous, of 

 a light vivid green on both faces and 

 almost polished, a trifle paler and 

 duller beneath, with mere traces of 

 pubescence on veins and veinlets;
