CHARACTER OF THE GENUS, GarDOQuIA. CatLyx tubular, 13-ner- 
ved (in this instance often with 15 nerves,) slightly incurved, with the 
mouth either equal or oblique, and short teeth either equal or some- 
what two-lipped. The tube of the Corolla exserted far beyond the 
Calyx, straight or incurved, naked within, (in this case slightly hairy 
within the throat, and again in the bottom of the tube) the limb 2-lip- 
ped, the upper one erect, nearly straight, emarginate; the inferior 
somewhat spreading, with straight lobes, the middle one the widest, (in 
this species the 3 lobes are equal.) Stamens 4, more or less didyna- 
mous, the inferior pair the longest, rather ascending and inclining out- 
ward, the superior pair sometimes sterile. Filaments toothless. 
Antuers 2-celled, the cells distinct, either parallel or more or less 
diverging. The lobes of the style nearly equal. Acnenta dry, smooth.
