tube, not longer than the B ovate or oblong neavly'equal spreading lobes; and 

 the stamens almost equal, their anthers blunt at base. 



19. MKIULUS. Herbs, with opposite leaves, and single flowers in th^ axils of the 



upper ones. Calyx prismatic, with B projecting angles, 5-toothed. ' Corolla 

 tubular or ftmnel-form, 2-lipped, the upper lip of 2 rounded and recui-ved 

 lobes, the .lower of 3 rounded spreading lobes. Stamens included. Stigma 

 of 2 flat lips. Pod 2-valved, many-seeded. 



20. TORENIA. Trailing herbs, with opposite leaves and axUlary flowers. Calyx 



prismatic, with sharp angles, 2-lipped at summit, the lips 2-toothed and 

 3-toothed. Corolla short-funnel-shaped or tubular with inflated throat, 

 4-lobed, the upper lobe (sometimes sHghtly notched) outerrtiost in the bud. 

 Filaments arched and their anthers brought together in pairs under the upper 

 lobe, the longer pair almost equalling the upper lobe and bearing a short 

 naked branch or appendage at base ; the shorter pab simple and included. 

 Stigma 2-lipped. Pod many-seeded. 



2. Stamens with good anthers only 2, a pair of sterile ones or abortive filaments 



generally present also : flowers small : calyx b-parled : corolla 2-lipped : leaves 

 opposite, with, single Jlowers in the axil of the upper ones : pedwneles simple 

 and bractless. 



21. ILYSANTHES. Spreading little herbs. Upper lip of the short corolla erect 



and 2-lobed: the lower larger, spreading, 3-cleft. Upper pair of stamens 

 with good anthers, included in the tube of the corolla; lower pair borne in 

 the throat and protnided, 2-forked, without anthers. Stigma 2-lipped. Pod 

 many-seeded. 



22. GRATIOLA. Low herbs. Upper lip of the corolla either entire or 2-cleft; 



lower 3-cleft. Stamens included; the upper pair with good anthers; the 

 lower pair short with rudiment of anthers or a mere naked filament, or none 

 .at all. Stigma 2-lipped. Pod many-seeded. A pan- of bracts, at the base 

 of the calyx. 



3. Stamens with anthers 4, the fifth stamen present ris a barren filament or a scale : 



calyx i-parted or of & imSricated. sepals : stigma simple : leaves chiefly oppo- 

 sUa: flowers in the agils of the upper leaves, or when these are reduced to 

 bracts forming a terminal panicle or raceme ; peduncles few-flowered, or when 

 me-fiimered hearing a pair of bractlet^, from the axils of which flowers may 

 spring ; pod many-seeded. 



23. SCROPHULARIA. Homely and rank erect herbs. Corolla small, with a 



globular or oval tiibe, and a short border composed of 4 short erect lobes and 

 one (the lower) spreading or reflexed. Fertile stamens short and included;
