In flower somewhat like M. petasatns Briq. according to the 

 figure — I have not seen a specimen — but the calyx has distinct 

 though very short toothlets, and is relatively longer and narrower 

 in fruit ; the corolla is broader in the lips, and the nutlets are not 

 glabrous. In habit and leaf there is considerable difference between 

 the two species,
