15. SYNANDRA Nutt. Gen. 2: 29. 1818. 
' An annual or biennial, somewhat hirsute, simple or little branched herb, with long- 
petioled ovate cordate crenate leaves, and large whitish flowers in a terminal leafy-bracted 
spike. Calyx campanulate-oblong, membranous, deeply 4-cleft, inflated in fruit, faintly and 
irregularly veined, the lobes narrowly lanceolate, the two upper shorter than the lower. 
Corolla much longer than the calyx, its tube narrow below, much expanded above, 2-lipped; 
upper lip concave, entire; lower lip spreading, 3-lobed. Stamens 4, didynamous, ascending 
under the upper lip of the corolla; filaments villous; anthers glabrous, 2-celled, the sacs 
divaricate, the contiguous ones of the upper pair of stamens sterile and connate. Ovary 
deeply 4-lobed; style unequally 2-cleft at the summit. Nutlets ovoid, smooth, sharply angled.

cordate at the base, the blade 2’-4’ long, and com- 
monly shorter than the petiole; floral leaves sessile, 
ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acute or acuminate, the 
flowers solitary in their axils, the uppermost leaves 
very small; calyx hirsute, its lobes about as long as 
the tube; corolla 1’-13’ long, showy, the lower lip 
with purple lines.

16. PHLOMIS [Tourn.] L. Sp. Pl. 584. 1753. 
Tall perennial herbs, or shrubs. Calyx tubular or tubular-campanulate, 5-10-nerved, the 
limb mostly equally 5-toothed. Corolla-tube usually with a woolly ring within, shorter than 
or exceeding the calyx, the limb strongly 2-lipped; upper lip erect, concave, arched or some- 
times keeled, entire or emarginate; lower lip spreading, 3-cleft. Stamens 4, didynamous, 
ascending under the upper lip of the corolla, the anterior pair the longer and their filaments 
with hooked appendages at the base; anther-sacs divergent. Ovary deeply 4-lobed; style 
subulate, 2-cleft at the summit, one of the lobes smaller than the other. Nutlets ovoid, 
glabrous, or pubescent above. [Greek, mullen, in allusion to the thick woolly leaves of some 
species. ] }
