stalked, ovate or lanceolate, coarsely toothed, much wrinkled, downy, and 
green on both sides. Flowers of a pale yellow, in pairs, with a small 
bract under each pedicel, forming terminal and axillary one-sided racemes. 
Upper tooth of the calyx very broad and turned back, the 4 lower teeth 
small. Tube of the corolla slender, twice as long as the calyx; the lip 
almost as long, with a terminal concave lobe and two small lateral teeth 
on each side.

2. T.Scordium, Linn. (fig. 814). Water Germander.—A low, 
branching perennial, procumbent and rooting at the base, or emitting 
creeping scions, and usually covered with short, soft hairs. Leaves oblong, 
4 to 1 inch long, coarsely toothed, usually narrowed at the base, but 
larger and cordate in luxuriant specimens. Flowers of a pale purplish-red, 
all axillary, turned to one side, in whorls of 6 or fewer, the pedicels very 
slender. Calyx small, with 5 nearly equal teeth. 
In wet, marshy places, generally dispersed over Europe and central and 
Russian Asia, except the extreme north. Rare in Britain, having been 
only found in a few English counties, chiefly eastern; very rare in Ireland.

3, Z. Botrys, Linn. (fig. 815). Cut-leaved Germander.—An erect 
or decumbent branching annual of 6 to 9 inches, more or less pubes- 
cent. Leaves stalked, rhomboidal in outline, 3 to # inch long, deeply 
divided into linear entire or lobed segments. Flowers of a purplish-red, all 
axillary, in whorls of 6 or fewer. Calyx broad, 3 to 4 lines long, very 
_ gibbous, almost saccate on the under side at the base, with 5 short lanceo-

In waste places and borders of fields, in central and southern Europe, 
from Spain to Silesia, extending northwards to Normandy, and in Britain 
found in a few localities in Surrey. FU. summer. 
4, ZT. Chameedrys, Linn. (fig. 816). Wall Germander.—Stock 
perennial, almost woody; the stems rarely branched, ascending, hairy, 
6 to 8 inches high. Leaves ovate, deeply toothed, wedge-shaped at the 
base, green, and more or less hairy on both sides. Flowers reddish-purple, 
in whorls of 2 to 6, forming a short, rather loose, terminal, one-sided 
raceme. Calyx loosely tubular, with 5 almost equal, pointed teeth. 
On stony banks, and old walls, over the greater part of central and 
southern Europe and western Asia, but not extending into Scandinavia. 
In Britain, it has been found only in a few localities, on old walls, having, 
although now well established, escaped from gardens ; in Ireland it has been 
found in sandy fields, but very rarely. FV. summer.
