S. albiflora, Mart. & Gal. Glabrous throughout, 2 to 4 feet high, paniculately branched : 

 leaves rhombic-ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, acutely serrate (inch or two long) ; 

 floral abruptly reduced to minute lanceolate and subulate bracts : clusters of rather loose 

 raceme approximate: calyx (often amethystine-tinged) with campanulate tube (2 lines 

 long), twice the length of the lips ; upper lip broadly ovate and entire ; lower 2-toothed 

 or parted into broad acute lobes: corolla (probably bluish) 4 or 5 lines long, with tube 

 almost included: style bearded along the base of the much longer upper lobe. — (Bull.

 or Mexican border near it, Thurher, Scholt. (Mex.) 



S. Arizonica. Glabrous, except 2 puberulent lines down the stem, a foot or more high : 

 leaves deltoid-ovate or with abruptly cuneate base, acute, coarsely and obtusely serrate (an 

 inch long besides the slender petiole) : inflorescence spiciformand interrupted; clusters sev- 

 eral-flowered : pedicels short (a line long) : floral'leaves abruptly reduced to membranaceous 

 ovate-lanceolate and caudate bracts, which equal the flowers and are caducous: calyx 

 4 lines long, bilabiate to the middle or nearly ; its upper lip subulately 3-toothed and 

 lower more strongly 2-toothed : corolla (blue) fully half inch long, with tube a little 

 exserted : style beardless. — S. Arizona, on Mount Graham, at 9,250 feet, Rothrock. 



S. urticifolia, L. A foot or two high, villous-pubescent and somewhat viscid, or glabrate : 

 leaves coarsely and obtusely serrate, ovate, acute, with truncate or sometimes cuneate 

 base decurrent into a winged petiole, pale beneath, 2 to 4 inches long; floral all reduced to 

 small ovate and slender-acuminate very caducous bracts : inflorescence racemose-spiciform, 

 of numerous and several-flowered distant clusters: pedicels as long as the tube of the 

 obiong-campanulate calyx ; the broad lips of which are divergent and half the length of 

 the tube, the upper mucronately (often minutely) 3-toothed, lower 2-cleft, its teeth broadly 

 triangular-ovate and mucronate : corolla blue and white (5 or 6 lines long), twice the 

 length of the calyx, its ample sinuately 3-lobed lower lip about twice the length of the 

 upper, its broad middle lobe emarginate : connective ciliate opposite the insertion; its 

 subulate antheriferous fork obtusely toothed toward the base, and lower fork semihastate : 

 style strongly villous-bearded along the base of its much longer upper fork. — Spec. i. 24.

= ==== Flowers onlv a third or a quarter inch long: corolla tube not exserted: inflorescence 

 slendcr-spicate ; the flowers or small chisters mostly distant,

S. Chapmani. Tall and erect perennial, tomentulose or cinereous-puberulent : leaves 

 thickisli, ovate or ovate-lanceolate with short cuneate base, somewhat appressed-serrate or 

 crenulate (2 or 3 inclies long) ; the floral all reduced to small and membranaceous ovate 

 cordate-acuminate caducous bracts: calyx campanulate, in fruit 2 lines long; teeth sliort 

 and broad, mucronate: corolla 4 lines long and with the ample lower lip of the preceding 

 species. — 5. urticiJhUa, var. major, Chapm. Fl. 319. — Middle Florida, Chapman. Alabama,

S. Blodgettii, Chapm. Fl. 319, founded on incomplete specimens from S. Florida (Key 

 West), Blochjetl, apparently an annual, with indurated base; thin ovate leaves obtuse at 

 both ends, about half inch long, on filiform petioles of equal length ; bracts of filiform 

 racemes lanceolate or subulate, rather persistent, shorter than the pedicels ; these a Ime 

 long; calyx 2 lines, very like that oi S. serotina. It may prove to be either S. tenella, 

 Swartz, or 5. micrantha, Vahl (referred to it by Grisebach), weedy and insignificant W. 

 Indian species, likely to stray to Key West. 



b. Style-lobes or stigmas both broad and thin, roundish, very obtuse or truncate: calyx glandular- 

 hirsute. 



S. OCCidentalis, Swartz. Diffuse annual, minutely pubescent or nearly glabrous up to 

 the very slender inflorescence (which has the aspect of that of Verbena officinalis) : stems 2
