230 FIGWORT FAMILY. 



S 3. Corolla with lobes imbricated and not plaited in the bud, either 2-Upped or more 

 or less irreaular, the divisions or lobes at most 6. Peduncles from the axil of 

 leaves or bracts, no flower ever really terminating tJie mam stem or branches. 

 # Tree, with large and opposite Oitalpa-like leaves. 

 5 PAULO WNIA. Calyx very downy, deeply 5-oleft. Corolla deourved, with a 

 cvllndrical or funnel-form'tube, and an enlarged oblique border of 5 rounded 

 lobes. Stamens 4, included. Pod turgid, thick, filled with very numerous 

 winged seeds. 



* * Herbs, or a few becoming low shrubs. 

 H- With 5 anther-bearing stamens and a wheel-shaped or barely concave corolla. 



6. VERBASCUM! Flowers in a long terminal raceme or spike. Calyx 6-parted. 



Corolla with 5 broad and rounded only slightly unequal divisions. All the 



filaments or 3 of them woolly. Style expanding and flat at apex. Pod 



globular, many-seeded. Leaves alternate. • 



^~ ^- With only 2 or i anllier-bearing stamens. 



+* Corolla wheel-shaped, or at least with wide spreading border mostly much bmpr 



than the short tube : flowers single in ike .aidls of the leaves or collected m a 



raceme qt sjnke. 4 



7. CELSIA. Like Verbascum, but with only 4 stamens, those of 2 sorts. 



8. ALONSOA. Calyx 5-parted. Corolla very unequal, turned upside down by 



the twisting of the pedicel, so that the much larger lower lobe appears to be 

 the upper and the two short upper lobes the lower. Stamens 4. Pod many- 

 seeded. Lower leaves opposite or in threes. 



9. VEEONICA. Calyx 4-parted, rarely 3-B-parted. Corolla wheel-shaped, or 



sometimes salver-shaped, with 4 or rarely B rounded lobes, one or two of 

 them usually rather smaller. Stamens 2, with long slender filaments. Pod 

 flat or flattish, 2 - many-seeded. At least the lower leaves opposite or some- 

 times whorled. 

 ++++ Corolla salver-shaped, with almost regular i-&-lobed border: flowers in a 

 terminal spike. Here one species of No. 9 would be sought. 



10. BUCHNERA. Calyx tubular, 5-toothed. Corolla with a slender tube, and 



the border cleft into 5 roundish divisions. Anthers 4 in 2 pairs, one-celled. 

 Style club-shaped at the apex. Pod many-seeded. Leaves mainly opposite, 

 roughish. 



++*+*+ Corolla either obviously 2-lipped, or funnel-form, tubular, or bell-shaped. 

 = Corolla 2-parted nearly to the base, the 2 lips sac-shaped or the lower larger one 

 slipper-shaped: stamens only 2 {or very rarely Z), and no rudiments of more. 



11. CALCEOLARIA. Calyx 4-parted. The' two sac-shaped or slipper-shaped 



divisions of the corolla entire or nearly so. Pod many-seeded. Leaves 

 chiefly opposite, and flowers in cymes or clusters. 

 = := Corolla almost 2-parted, the middle lobe of the lower Up folded together to form 

 aflat pocket which encloses the 4* stamens and the style. 



12. COLLINSIA. Calvx deeply b-cleft. Corolla turned down ; its short tubs 



laterally flattened, strongly bulging on the upper side : upper Up 2-cleft and 

 turned back; the lower one larger and 3-lobed, its middle and laterally 

 flattened pocket-shaped lobe covered above by the two lateral ones. A little 

 rudiment of the fifth stamen present. Pod globular, with few or several seeds. 

 Flowers on pedicels single or mostly clustered in the axils of the upper oppo- 

 site (rarely whoi-led) leaves, which are gradually reduced to bracts, forming 

 an interrupted raceme. 



= = = Corolla not 2-parted nor salver-shaped, but irith a tube of some knglh in 



proportion to the 2-Upped or mure ui' less irregular ( rarely nearly regular) 



4 - H-lobed border, and 

 a< With a spur or sac-like jirojeclion at the base on the lower side, and a projecting 



palate to the tower lip, which commonly closes the throat or nearly so : stamens 



4, and no obvious rudiment. 



13. LINARIA. Calyx 5-parted. Corolla personate, and with a spur at ba.«e. 



(Lessons, p. 102, fig. 211.) Pod many-seeded, opening by a hole or chink 

 which foi-ms below the summit of each cell. 

 J4. ANTIRRHINUM. No spur, but a sac or gibbosity at the base of the personate 

 corolla (Lessons, p. 102, fig. 210): ptherwise like 13;
