Calyx 5-nerved; teeth 5, equal or the upper longer. Corolla-tube annulate or 

 not within, throat dilated ; upper lip arched ; lower spreading, 3-lobed, middle 

 lobe broad, contracted at the base. Stamens 4 ; anthers connivent ; cells 

 diverging. Style lobes subulate. Nuts triquetrous, truncate, smooth, scaly or 

 tuberculate. Annual or perennial hairy herbs. Whorls axillary, many-flowered 

 or in leafy heads, bracteoles none or subulate.

 Henbit Nettle. Annual, leaves orbicular inciso-crenate, hairy or glabrous, J to 

 fin. diameter, the lower ones long-petiolate, almost lobulate, the base rounded or 

 cordate, the floral ones sessile and broader than long. Flowers in distant whorls. 

 Calyx small pubescent, teeth equalling the tube converging in fruit. Corolla-tube 

 long slender nearly straight, purple.

p. 1216— Add: 1a. B. plantaginella(likeasmallPlantago), i?". v.M.^'mijrm. 

 i. 61 ; Benth. Fl. Austr. v. 164. An erect branching annual of 1 to 3in., slightly 

 glandular-hairy. Stem leaves in the lower part of the plant petiolate, ovate or 

 obovate, obtuse, entire, 2 to 4 lines long. Flowers resembling those of 

 D. littomlis, but the clusters crowded in dense terminal cylindrical leafless 

 spikes of 1 to 2in. or more, and consequently occupying the greater portion of 

 the plant. Perianth of 3 obovate-clavate concave segments, about J line long, 

 and falling. off with the fruit. Style very deciduous.

p, 1230 Add : 16. T. leucocoma (alluding to the white hairs of the inflor-

 high, stems erect or ascending, slightly branched, glabrous or nearly so. Leaves 

 linear, scarcely exceeding lin. long. Spikes at first globular, at length oblong, 

 I to ^in. long. Bracteoles broad obtuse or with small points, thin and shining, 

 i to li line long ; bracts usually not so broad and more pointed and often shorter. 

 Perianth about°2J lines long, the tube rather thick, \ line long, the segments 

 rigid with scarious margins, the dorsal hairs not so dense nor so long as in any 

 other species, the tips shortly glabrous truncate and denticulate in the outer 

 segments, more acute but not shorter in the inner ones, all glabrous inside. 

 Staminal' cup shortly free near the base of the perianth-tube, surrounded by
