obscurely crenate with the base rounded, darker green above than 
beneath; the floral leaves like the rest; the veiticillasters lax and nearly 
secund, the stalked cymes scarcely dichotomous, the teeth of the 
smoothish calyx acute, its throat void of hair. The corolla more than 
three times the length of the calyx. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE CULTIVATED Piant. A deciduous Sarvs, 
rather more than a foot high, with the herbage slightly harsh to 
the touch. At first glance its habit is very much that of a Fuschia. 
BrancueEs at first tetragonous, very slightly tomentose, ultimately 
round and quite smooth, scarcely woody. Leaves with petioles the 
quarter of an inch and limb about an inch long, ovate to ovate-oblong, 
somewhat obtuse, obscurely crenate, with the margin roughish. The 
upper surface rather darker than the lower, where the veins are pro- 
minent and often, as well as-the petiole, tinged purplish. The under 
surface covered with very minute punctures in each of which is seated 
a globular shining gland. The bruised leaves emit a fragrant odour 
somewhat resembling that from the Aloysia citrodora. Inflorescence 
in single cymes, from the axils of the upper leaves, with their peduncles 
a little longer than the petioles, dichotomously subdivided into three 
or five pedicels, on each of which is a minute linear-lanceolate bract. 
Fiowers mostly secund. Catyx smooth, above a quarter of an inch 
long, tubular, very slightly incurved but a little more arched above 
than below. Mouth somewhat oblique, and 2-lipped, the upper lip with 
3 and the lower with 2 small acute teeth which under a lens appear 
somewhat ciliate. The 5 carinal ribs most strongly marked, the 10 
sutural ones also very distinct, those between the uppermost and 2 con- 
tiguous sepals occasionally confluent thus reducing the number to 13. 
Purplish with the veins green, dotted with minute glands similar to 
those on the leayes. Interior quite smooth and free from hair. Cor-

is a little swollen. The limb bilabiate; the upper lip linear-oblong 
emarginate, somewhat ascending and reflexed at the edges; the lower 
lip subpatent with 3 equal oblong lobes, the middle lobe concave and 
a little inflexed, with the margin minutely erose, the lateral lobes 
spreading ; a row of small scattered hairs extends from each side of the 
middle lobe in the lower lip to the bottom of the throat, and others 
clothe the bottom of the tube. SvTammna, inserted at the base of the 
throat, the longest pair on the inferior side somewhat longer than the
