varieties, are said to be more or less spotted red : lower 

 Ivs. petiolate, oblong-ovate, crenate or incised, cordate 

 at base, glabrous above, pubescent beneath along the 

 petioles and nerves; stem-lvs. few, sessile: uppermost 

 lanceolate bracts shorter than the calyx, reflexed, cor- 

 date-ovate: whorls 6-fld.: fls. about 1 in. long, blue; 

 calyx sticky-villous; corolla thrice as long as calyx.— 

 Var. rubiciinda {S. rubicilnda, Wender.) is a name 

 which may be used for the reddish-fld. form cult, in 

 America. Var. Alba, Hort., has white flowers. The fol- 

 lowing forms are given by Voss, and are probably pro- 

 curable from Germany: Vars. atroviolicea, albifldra, 

 and variegata; the last has pale blue fls., with the 

 midlobe of the lower lip white. 



25. Verbenica, Linn. (S. Sp!e?»«n«)i(, Willd.). Hardy 

 perennial herb with blue, rarely whitish fls. Here prob- 

 ably belongs S. spelmina of the American trade, which 

 is presumably an error for S. Spielmanni. Lvs. ovate 

 or oblong, lower ones petiolate, narrowed at base, upper 

 ones broader, sessile and cordate at base: corolla about 

 half as long again as the calyx. Eu., Orient.
