 ^\$'Symh-^ hoU tak q. In the follewing partieulars, however they- 

 differ fufliciently to be eafily diilinguiOied. My plant is per-

 Its leaves are oblong and rounded at their end, and their border 

 Snely denticulated; The whorls are many flowered with ereft or- 

 adprefie.d brades, which vary in iheir- form, but generally are 

 leafy in the loweft and linear in the others. The flowers are at 

 jirfl collcifted in a terminal wmbel^ foon after they have expanded, 

 the llalk flioots up from their centre, and is terminated by another 

 lambeL In this manner three or four fucceiHve umbels become- 

 as w&ny verticils. The corolla feems to be altogether larger '^ 

 ^nd the crenulated margins ©f its border wanting in P. verticillattL^
