The most striking characteristic of this plant is its calyx, 
which resembles those of Orthosiphon, Coleus and Teucrium in its 
broad upper tooth with recurved decurrent margins and its 
conspicuously veined membranous tube. The minute basal areole 
of its nutlet and the form of the corolla abundantly distin- 
guish it from these genera and point to Lamium as its affinity.
