Gen. Ch. Cal. none, unlefs we take the corolla for fuch. 

 Cor. of one petal, fuperior, tubular, externally clothed with 

 compound hairs ; tube curved, rather fwelling upwards ; 

 limb in fix deep, irregular, lanceolate, acute, unequal feg- 

 ments, much (horter than the tube, directed upwards ; the 

 two lowermoft largeil and moft fpreadir.g. Stam. Filaments 

 fix, awl-fhaped, inferted into the mouth of the tube, (horter 

 than the limb, oppofite to its fegments, and having a fimilar 

 direction ; anthers linear-oblong, ereft, burlling lengthwife 

 ii! front. Pijl. Germen inferior, oval ; ftyle thread-ihaped, 

 afcending, on a level with the (laraens, deciduous ; ftigma 

 undivided, tumid. Perk. Capfule nearly fpherical, of three 

 cells and three valves, crowned with the permanent corolla, 

 burfting at the fummit. Seeds numerous, angular, inferted 

 into the inner angle of each cell. 



EfT. Ch. Corolla fuperior, tubular, incurved ; limb 

 irregular, in fix deep divifions. Stamens inferted into the 

 tlu-oat, afcending. Seeds angular. 



A genus of perennial herbs. Root of numerous thick 

 fafciciUated fibres. Stem unbranched, except at the top. 

 Lca-ves fword-fhaped, turned, half-fheathing at the bafe. 

 Flowers fomewhat corymbofe, in (ivort f pikes [rather clujlers) 

 with a lanceolate braaea at the bafe of fome of the partial

 «' Stem permanently downy. Anthers pointlefs." — Native 

 ■of Lewin's land, in dry fandy defarts, where it flowers in 

 December. The^em is two feet or more in height, round, 

 moft downy in the upper part ; fomewhat leafy below. 

 Leaves linear, acute, narrow, entire, finely ftriated. Panicle 

 corymbofe, downy. Flowers externally covered, like the 

 whole of the panicle, with reddifh, branched and tufled 

 hairs. Their partial jlalks are fhort. Labillardiere's figure 

 reprefents the anthers with a point, but not an incurved one. 

 Nothing is recorded concerning the colour of the infide of 

 the flower. The Jlamens appear to be dilated at the 

 bafe.

 Ait. n. I. Redout. Liliac. t. 176. Curt. Mag. t. 1151. 

 (A. grandiflora ; Salif. Parad. t. 97.) — "Stem and leaves 

 very fmooth. Down of the panicle deciduous. Anthers 

 witli a httle reflexed point." — Obferved by Mr. Brown on 

 the fouth-weft coaft of New Holland. We rely on that 

 gentleman for the above fpecific characters ; otherwife we 

 fhould, like Mr. Ker, have fcarcely confidered thefe two 

 plants as diftinft. The prefent is faid to have been fent to 

 Kew by Mr. Good, in 1803. It was raifed from feed, in 

 Mr. Vere's garden, by Mr. Anderfon, now of Chelfea, who 

 found it required merely to be protedted from froft, and 

 flowered during moft part of the fummer. The lea-ocs are 

 fword-(haped, much broader than the foregoing. Flo-uers, 

 according to Mr. Brown, fmaller than in that fpecies. They 

 feem to be two inches long, externally green, covered with 

 red, tufted, brar.ched hairs, as well as ikar faotjialks ; infide 

 of the limb fcicoth, dull purple. Anthers red on one fide, 



yellow on the other, not reprefented with fo much of a point 

 in the Botanical Magazine, as thofe of the firft fpecies in 

 Labillardiere's figure. We have fecn no fpecimens of 

 either. M. Rcdoute has detected the fame fpecific marks as 

 Mr. Brown, and is the author of the above name. He had 

 fpecimens of both from his friend Labillardiere, and on 

 minute examination determined them to be moft probably 

 diftinft. T\\2 Jlowers of A. flavida are fmaller in his figure 

 than in the Botanical Magazine.

ANISOMELES, from miTo:, unequal, and probably 

 fiii^a, the cheeks, or parts furrounding the mouth, alluding to 

 the great difference in fhape and fize between the upper and 

 under lips of the corolla. — Brown Prodr. Nov. Holl. v. i.

EfT. Ch. Calyx tubular, five-cleft, with ten furrows. 

 Upper lip of the corolla fmalleft, undivided ; lower three- 

 cleft, middle fegment two-lobed. Stamens prominent, 

 afcending. Anthers of the (horter ones with two adjoining- 

 cells ; often the longer ones halved, or diflimilar. Seeds 

 fmooth. 



Downy herbaceous plants, growing within the tropicr. 

 Leaves crenate. Floivers whorled, with minute braHeas, 

 Calyx glandular. Corolla purple. The genus is akin to 

 Ajuga and Teucr'ium, but fufficiently diftinft from both one 

 and the other. The upper hp of Ajuga is extremely (hort, 

 and has a fmall central notch. Its anthers are obferved by 

 Mr. Brown to be uniform, kidney-{haped, of only one cell ; 

 and the feeds reticulated. 



1. A. mofchata. Muflcy Anifomeles. — Leaves elliptical, 

 downy and hoary like the ftem. Flowers few in each whorl. 

 Calyx greyi(h, with confpicuous glands. — Gathered by Mr. 

 Brown, as well as the two following fpecies, in the tropical 

 part of New Holland. 



2. A. tnodora. Scentlefs Anifomeles. — Leaves elliptical, 

 nearly fmooth ; dotted beneath. Whorls remote. Calyx 

 green, with confpicuous glands. 



3. A. falv'ifolla. Sage-leaved Anifomeles. — Hoary and 

 downy. Leaves lanceolate ; foft and fmooth above ; rugged 

 beneath. Whorls many-flowered. Glands of the calyx im- 

 bedded in foft down.

 teas linear. Calyx hairy ; with fcarcely vifible glands. — 

 Native of the Eaft Indies, from whence it is faid to have 

 been imported by the firft earl of Bute; in 1783. The 

 plant has hardly perhaps been preferved in the ftoves, being 

 an annual, of no great beauty, however interefting to the 

 curious botanift. The whole herb has a velvet-hke foftnefs, 

 owing to its fine, (hort, foft, deprefled hairs ; its habit and 

 fize very like our Ballota nigra. The leaves fometimes very 

 much refemble thofe of the common Urtica dioica, m fize, 

 (hape, and ferratures, but are often rather crenate than fer- 

 rated. Whorls for the moft part crowded into thick, partly 

 leafy, fpikes. Calyx very curioufly reticulated with copious 

 tranfverfe veins ; its teeth large, broad, pimgent. The (hort 

 upper lip of the corolla did not efcapc Linr.sus, who founds 

 thereon his fpecific charafter of this plant, as a Nepeta. His
