THE FORMS OF SALVIA VERBENACA 149

te is less spreading and less persistent. egree of 
viscosity of the stem is variable, but, on an average, spiebably less 
than that of S. horminoides, and none of the s specimens that I 
have seen show such an i of glands as the plant at the 
Lizard. Three of Mr. Bennett’s specimens are less glandular and 
hairy than any of my British ‘sxiaeple oat while the remaining two, 
taken in different years, and also Mr. Druce’s, are more pilose, 
and possess fairly numerous a Mr. Marquand’s gathering 
It is presumably to these ani which, as in other Verbenaca 
forms, occur on the calyx in greater profusion than on the stem, that 
the scent of these plants is due, and as the foliage of all of them, 
so far as I can trace, is quite eglandular, it should consequently 
be also odourless, the scent proceeding solely from the glandular 
inflorescence. Acco to Mr. Druce, the whole plant of 
S. Marquandii smells “ of calamint, quite different from the heavy 
odour of S. Verbenaca,” but on testing Mr. Marquand’s fresh 
specimens with others obtained the same day from Hampton 
Court, I found that in both cases s the ner was confined to the 
the British plant was much the stronger, whites might be attri- 
may prove structurally different from those of our ordinary Clary, 
and it is possible that the odour, in addition to being fainter, is 
also slightly ee oat although there is no marked contrast, such 
i omparing fresh specimens of S. horminoides 
atensis. 
t will be remembered that some of the French botanists have 
via variations of scent in the Salvias of this group, but their 
remarks throw little light on our British plants, their principal 
conclusion being that the clandestina forms, which o 
tape possess the strongest odour. 
yx of 8. Marquandii is distinguished by its author from 
that of S. Verbenaca by its less spiny teeth, and is stated to be 
only 5-6mm. long. This | does not hold good with my Marquandiz 
material, ind on com it with a large number of British 
specimens I quite fail to find: after sttowings for ee in 
fruit, any difference in the teeth or yet in the size of the calyx,
