spatulate, almost sessile, narrowed at both 
ends, 1’-2’ long, 1”-2” wide; flowers solitary 
in the upper axils, purple, mostly distant, 
5-7” long; peduncles shorter than the flow- 
ers; calyx-segments linear, somewhat unequal, 
as long as the corolla, elongated in fruit so 
as much to exceed the pubescent capsule.

7. SCROPHULARIA [Tourn.] L. 
Sp. Pl. 619. 1753. 
Perennial strong-smelling herbs, some ex- 
otic species shrubby, with mostly opposite 
large leaves, and small purple greenish or yel- 
low proterogynous flowers, in terminal pani- 
cled cymes or thyrses. Calyx 5-parted or 5-cleft. the segments or lobes mostly obtuse. 
Corolla irregular, the tube globose to oblong, not gibbous nor spurred at the base, the limb 
5-lobed, the 2 upper lobes longer, erect, the lateral ones ascending, the lower spreading or 
reflexed. Stamens 5, 4 of them anther-bearing and didynamous, declined, mostly included, 
their anther-sacs confluent into one, the fifth sterile, reduced to a scale on the roof of the 
corolla tube. Style filiform; stigma capitate or truncate. Capsule ovoid, septicidally dehis- 
cent. Seeds rugose, not winged. [Named for its repute as a remedy for scrofula.] 
About 120 species, natives of the northern hemisphere, most abundant in southern Europe. 
Ss ig the following, 2 or 3 others occur in the western United States. Type species: Scrophularia 
nodosa L. 
Corolla dull outside; sterile stamen deep purple. 1. S. marylandica. 
Corolla shining outside; sterile stamen greenish yellow. 
Upper lip of the corolla as long as the tube; panicle-branches sparingly glandular; leaf-blades 
not hastate-incised at the base. 2. S. leporella. 
Upper lip of the corolla much shorter than the tube; panicle-branches densely glandular ; leaf- 
blades, especially the lower ones, incised-hastate at the base. 3. S. occidentalis.

Glabrous below, somewhat glandular-pubes- 
cent above; stem slender, 4-angled with grooved 
sides, usually widely branched, erect, 3°-10° 
high. Leaves membranous, slender-petioled,

rate, narrowed, truncate or subcordate at the

less thyrses; bractlets mostly opposite, pedi- 
cels slender, ascending, 4’’-12” long; -calyx- 
lobes broadly ovate, obtuse, about the length 
of the tube; corolla green, dull without, brown-
