Trichostema. LABIATE. 347 



erect and narrow, 2-lobed ; lower spreading, 3-cleft. Anther-cells more or less confluent. 

 Nutlets ovoid, smooth, obtuse. Leaves rugose. 



■t- -f- Stamens ascending under the galeate upper lip of the corolla. 



++ Introduced and naturalized from the Old World : stamens not deflexed after anthesis. 



44. BALLOTA. Cal^x funnelform-dilated at tlie tliroat or border, 10-nerved, 5-toothed in 



ours. Corolla nearly as in Stachys. Filaments not appendaged. 

 43. PHLOMIS. Calyx tubular, 5-10-nerved, 5-toothed in ours. Upper lip of the corolla 

 strongly galeate; tlie lower spreading, 3-cleft. Upper pair of stamens (in our species 

 rather longer) furnished with a subulate or hooked appendage at base ! 



46. LEONOTIS. Calyx tubular, 10-nerved, at length incurved above, oblique at the 

 orifice, and witii 5 or more unequal spinulose-tipped teeth, the upper one largest. Corolla 

 slender; the upper lip erect or incurved and elongated, entire; lower short and spreading, 

 3-cleft, its middle lobe not larger. Filaments not appendaged at base : anthers approxi- 

 mate in pairs. Upper fork of the style very short. Flowers densely capitate-verticil- 

 lastrate. 



47. LEONURUS. Calyx turbinate, 5-nerved, with nearly equal truncate orifice, and 5 

 rigid and at length spreading subulate-spinescent teeth. Corolla short ; upper lip oblong, 

 entire. Filaments not appendaged : antlier-cells parallel or sometimes divergent ; valves 

 naked. Nutlets smooth, truncate at apex. Leaves cleft or incised, vehiy, all longer than 

 the capitate-verticillastrate flowers. 



48. LAMIUM. Calyx tubular- or turbinate-campanulate, somewhat 5-nerved, commonly 

 oblique at ' the orifice ; tlie 5 teeth subulate but not spinescent. Corolla dilated at the 

 throat ; upper lip ovate or oblong, fornicate, narrowed at base ; lower lip spreading, its 

 lateral lobes truncate down to the throat, or sometimes oblong, and with or witliout a 

 tooth-like appendage ; middle one broad, emarginate, contracted and as it were stipitate 

 at base. Filaments not appendaged : anthers approximate in pairs ; their cells oblong, 

 divaricate, sometimes hairy; valves not ciliate. Nutlets trimcate at the apex. Leaves 

 mostly cordate. 



49. GALEOPSIS. Resembles Lamium in habit and Stachys generally in flowers. But 

 antiiers transversely 2-'valved ; the inner valve of each cell hirsute-ciUate, the outer and 

 larger one naked. 



•H- -H- Lidigenous (chiefly) : stamens all or the lower pair sometimes de^exed to the sides 

 of the throat or contorted after anthesis. 



50. STACHYS. Calyx tubular-campanulate or turbinate, 5-10-nerved, equally 5-tootlied, 

 sometimes the upper teeth larger and more or less united. Corolla with cylindrical or 

 cylindraceous tube, not dilated at the throat ; upper lip erect, more or less fornicate or 

 concave, sometimes rather thrown back, entire or emarginate ; lower spreading, 3-lobed, 

 its middle lobe larger. Filaments naked : anthers approximate in pairs ; the cells either 

 parallel or divergent. Nutlets obtuse at the apex, not truncate.

 Herbs or suffrutescent plants, sweet-aromatic or strong-scented, mostly low ; with 

 entire leaves, and commonly blue or violet corolla and stamens: fl. summer: all

§ 1. Calyx very oblique and bilabiate ; its 3 upper divisions twice or thrice the 

 length of the lower two and united to above the middle : tube of the corolla 

 shorter than the limb : flowers loose, 1 to 3 on slender bibracteate peduncles, or 

 scattered on paniculate branches ; the alar ones, becoming lateral and secund or
