Pogogyne. LABIATE. 597 



sweet-aromatic; with oblong or oblanceolate mostly entire leaves, narrowed into a 

 petiole; flowers mostly crowded and interrupted spicate ; bracts and calyx hirsute; 

 ciliate, the teeth of the latter mostly 3-nerved; the corolla blue or purplish. — Benth. 

 Lab. 414. 



§ 1. Stamens all four with anthers: style conspicuous!)/ bearded above, and its subulate 

 lobes almost equal: corolla (6 to 9 lines long) tubular-funnelform, tin tub* 

 surpassing the calyx (calyx-teeth variable). 



* Flower-clusters densely crowded into an oblong or cylindrical spike, which is con- 

 spicuously white-hirsute with the long and stiff ciliate hairs of the bracts and 

 calyx. 



1. P. Douglasii, Benth. Bather stout, a span to a foot high: leaves oblong, 

 spatulate, or oblanceolate, vein}-, sometimes .sparingly toothed: spikes dense : bracts 

 linear, acute: lower divisions of the calyx twice or thrice the length of the tube 

 and much longer and narrower than the others : corolla half to three fourths of an

 branches: leaves spatulate or linear-spatulate, obtuse (an inch or less in length), 

 glabrous : bracts linear-subulate and cuspidate ; corolla half an inch long, twice the 

 length of the calyx : anthers of the posterior stamens usually smaller than the 

 others, but polliniferous.
