27. S. lophanthoides. Stem tall, 1m. or so high, glabrous, or 
minutely pilose at the tip; internodes 1 to 2dm. long: leaves broad- 
ovate, short-acuminate, glabrous above, villous beneath on the nerves, and 
especially along the midrib, finely crenate-serrate, on slender petioles 
3cm. or less in length: peduncles 1.5 em. or less long; racemes dense, 
the primary ones 1.3 dm. or less in length, 1.5 cm. thick: bracts brownish, 
ciliate-margined : calyx viscid, pilose on the strong nerves, in anthesis 
5 to 6 mm. long, slightly enlarged at the throat, with broad-deltoid sub- 
ulate-tipped lobes: corolla blue, slightly viscid, 1.2 to 1.4cm. long, the

rarely white flesh colored or crimson, never scarlet, with the tube gene- 
rally ventricose and often contracted at the throat; with straight or 
scarcely arched galea (upper lip), and broader 3-lobed lower lip gene- 
rally exceeding the galea, the middle lobe broadest and emarginate. 
(Species with exceptionally large flowers, but with their affinities here 
are S. heterotricha, S. flaccida, S. cedrosensis, S. semiatrata, and S. sidae- 
folia with corollas fully 2em. long; S. angustifolia with corolla 2.5 cm.

A. Angustifoliae, Benth. Leafy-stemmed herbs or half-shrubs with 
slightly branching stems: leaves linear, lanceolate, or narrowly ovate- 
elliptic, narrowed cuneate or rounded-truncate at base. 
* Bracts orbicular, acuminate, about equalling the calyx, persistent: verticels 
ecoming remote: calyx campanulate, green, strongly nerved, subinflated
