Bushy, 2-5 ft. high ; branches slender, obtusely 4-angled. Leaves 1-4 in. ; 

 petiole short. Spii:es 2-5 in., flowering i in. diam., fruiting broader, whorls lax or 

 dense; bracts subulate-lanceolate. Corolla white, sparingly pnbescent. Fruiting 

 calyx short, mouth contracted. Sntlets broadly ellipsoid. — Bentham refers Don's 

 Perilla elata to this, but the description of the leaves " scabrid above, tomentose 

 beneath," does not agree. He also quotes "Arabia" on Forskiil's authority as a 

 habitat, which is most improbable.
