 anthers 2-celled. Gynoecium of united carpels; ovary 4-lobed and 4-celled; 

 styles united, arising between the lobes; stigma terminal; ovules solitary in 

 each cell. Fruit of 4 nutlets, included in the persistent calyx. Endosperm 

 fleshy or wanting. 



Ovary of 4 united nutlets; style not basal; nutlets laterally attached. 

 Corolla strongly bilateral, the upper lip very small, the lower large. 



Flowers in small congested cymes, axillary to small bracts, and forming a raceme- 

 like panicle; calyx-lobes shorter than the tube; leaves toothed. 



l. TEUCRIUM. 

 Flowers solitary in the axils of bracts similar to the leaves ; calyx-lobes longer 



than the tube; leaves laciniate. 2. MELOSMON. 



Corolla almost regularly 5-lobed, but lobes declined; stamens long-exserted and 



coiled. 3. TRICHOSTEMA. 



Ovary of 4 distinct or nearly distinct nutlets; styles basal; nutlets basally attached. 

 Corolla bilabiate.

plant spreading. 9. GLECOMA. 



Calyx distinctly 2-lipped. 10. MOLDAVICA.
