Stems 20 — 50 cm., petioles 0"5 — 1'5 cm., lamina? 0"75 — 2 cm. long 

 0"5 — 1 cm. wide, lower peduncles 4 — 7 mm., bracts 35 — 4"5 mm. long, 

 2 mm. wide, calyx 5 mm. long, corolla 7 mm. long, nutlets 2 mm. long. 



There are no very good characters whereby Nepeta juncea (the Panjab 

 Frontier, Afghan and Beluch plant) can be separated from Nepeta glo- 

 merulosa proper (the Persian plant) — the secondary branches are more 

 numerous, the leaves and bracts are rather smaller and the calyx teeth 

 somewhat shorter in the more eastern form but the corollas and nutlets 

 of the two are quite indistinguishable. 



26 b. Nepeta lagofs:s Benth. ; softy hirsute with spreading white 

 hairs, much branched, branches slender, erect or prostrate, short or long, 

 leaves small, short-petioled, ovate, obtuse, coarsely blunt-toothed, whorls 

 dense softly hairy distant axillary subsessile or on peduncles as long as 

 the flowers, bracts subulate as long as the calyces, calyx teeth su- 

 bulate almost as long as the tube, corolla hardly exserted. — Nepeta 

 lagopsis Benth., DG. Prodr., xii, 397 ; Boiss., Flor. Orient., iv, 640, 



Western Panjab ; on Sheik Budeen, Steioart, Saunders. Dtstrib.

Branches 10 — 40 cm., leaves 1 — 1'5 cm. diam., petioles 05 — 075 

 cm., pedicels 2 — 7 mm. long, calyx 5 mm. long, bracts 5 — 6 mm., corolla 

 8 mm. 



Nearly related to the Persian N. prostrata. 

 * * Corolla more than -| inch long. 



31 b. Nepeta Hemsleyana Oliv. mss. ex He>nsl. in I'M.; tall erect 

 branched finely pubescent, leaves sessile narrowly ovate-lanceolate entire 

 whorls 8— 12-flowercd distant axillary peduncled, calyx nerves hirsute teeth 

 obtuse, triangular shorter than tube, corolla twice as long as calyx 

 gradually expanded to wide limb, filaments prolonged beyond anthers, 

 anther-cells at length confluent, nutlets narrowly ovate.
