BORAGINACE^E. 87 



AJUGA ALPINA. Lhn,. 



The British plants recorded under this name arc partly A. rcpons, 

 nnd partly A. Gcnevcnsis. I do not know if there be a Scandinavian 

 A. alpina, distinct from A. rcptans, as I have not seen specimens of 

 the plant which Fries calls by that name. 



AJUGA GENEVENSIS. L:„n. 



(A. al2niiii, S„i.) Eng. Dot. 177. 



Fip^iircd in En^. Bot. from a plant sent by Mr. Robson from Durham. 

 Dr. J. Hooker many years ago sent Mr. Watson a specimen among 

 plants collected in Lanarkshire. There is also an example of it from 

 Wales in Buddie's Herbarium. 



TEUCRIUM SCORDIOIDES. Sdireh. 

 Supposed to be British, but a state T. Scordium was mistaken for it. 



TEUCRIUM REGIUM. Sch-ch. 



Said to have been found on the slope of the Blorenge, near Aberga- 

 venny, by Mr. E. Y. Steele. 



ORDER LIV.—BORAGINACE^. 



Herbs, more rarely shrubs, usually rough with simple or sometimes 

 stellate hairs. Leaves (except sometimes those at the base of the 

 inflorescence) alternate, undivided, generally entire, without stipules. 

 Flowers perfect, regular or slightly irregular, generally in scorpioid 

 racemes or spikes; racemes conunonly arranged in pairs, rolled up in 

 bud, but straightening out in fruit. Calyx persistent, often enlarging 

 in fruit, free from the ovary, 5-clcft or 5-partite, rarely 4-cleft. Corolla 

 deciduous, hypogynous, monopetalous, salvcrshapcd or rotate or clavate 

 cylindrical or funiielshaped, nu-ely subbilabiate; limb 5-lobed or 5-clcft, 

 frequently with 5 scales or bosses at the throat. Stamens 5, inserted in 

 tl.e tube or throat of the corolla, alternate ■with its lobes, cxsertcd or 

 included. Ovary of 2 carpels, each of which is usually so deeply divided 

 that the ovary is 4-celled and 4-lobed, with a single style coming from 

 the centre of the 4 lobes, and consequently apparently from the base 

 of the carpels, rarely tenninal when the adhesion between the lobes of 

 the ovary is more complete; stigma simple or bifid. Ovules 1 in 

 each cell of the ovary. Fruit of (gencridly) 4 separate indehisccnt
