 acute tip ; midrib prominent beneath, but in recent impressed 

 above as are the veins ; petiole pilose with incurved hairs. 

 Raceme erect, denseh- flowered, usually capitate, sometimes in- 

 terrupted, or rarely branched below, bracteate, I3— 7cm. long ; 

 rachis straight, erect, pilose with incurved several-celled white 

 hairs ; bracts 4-3- or rareh r 5-verticillate, shorter than the 

 flowers but the lowest ones sometimes exceeding them and usu- 

 ally patent, thinly pilose, acute, green, the lower ones foliiform, 

 shorth r petiolate, elliptical-ovate, pinnatiparted with pinnatifid- 

 dentate oblong or elliptical erect-patent several lobes on each 

 side, the superior ones gradually smaller, few-pinnatifid on each 

 side, gradually cuneate towards the base. Flowers purple, 

 shorth pedicellate, 4— 3-verticillate, about 14—18 mm. long ; 

 pedicel erect, glabrous, about 1^—2 mm. long. Cah r x about 

 5—7 mm. long in flower but more or less enlarged and about

 shortlv 3- or sub-5- or 5-toothed at the coarctate mouth, 

 sprcadingly pilose on veins and denseh' ciliated with several- 

 celled white hairs, hyalino-membranaceous, with 11 or 13 green 

 vertical veins without transverse vcinlets but slightly reticulat- 

 ed towards the margin of the teeth ; teeth abbreviate and very 

 short, erect, entire, very obtuse, the dorsal one ovato-deltoid or 

 deltoid, the lateral ones often connate or hardly 2-toothed or 

 sometimes normally bifid into ovato-deltoid teeth, very hardly 

 shorter or slightly longer than the dorsal one, the lower teeth 

 often shorter, the sinuses with obtuse bottom, the lowest sinus 

 larger and deeper. Corolla much exserted, ascendingly patent, 

 glabrous but minutely papillose in the tube internally; tube gla-

 of the calyx, the upper portion above the angle ascending and 

 infundibuliformly enlarged ; limb shorter than the tub-, ringent,
