[Plantaginem. 



3. Stachys coccinea; caule erecto tetragono obverse piloso hirto, foliis petiolatis superi- 

 oribus sessilibus cordato-ovatis obtusiusculis grosse crenato-serratis rugosis villosis, verticil- 

 lastris subaphyllis sexfloris contiguis spicatis, calycibus villosis campanulatis dentibus ovatis 

 acutis pungentibus, corolla calycem duplo superante extus pilosiuscula. — Jacq. 



The colour of the corolla, in the only one we have seen, does not appear red. 



1 . Hyptis polystachya ; caule ramoso aspero, foliis ovatis serratis supra pubescenti-hirtis 

 subtus incanis, fasciculis florum oppositis breviter peduuculatis in spicas axillares terminales- 

 que digestis, bracteis late ovatis mucronatis calyce 5-aristato cylindrico brevioribus. — H. B. 

 K. Nov. Gen. et Sp. v. 2. p. 321? 



The specimens are in had condition, and only show one or two upper leaves, which may account for the 

 difference hetween the above character and that given by Kunth. 



In addition to the above of this Order, there is a specimen of what may probably be a Salvia. 



Orb. XXXIV. VERBENACEiE. Juss. 



1. Verbena Caroliniana; caule diffuso hirsuto quadrangular! foliis cuneato-oblongis 

 inaequaliter serratis scabris, spicis filiformibus paniculatis, calycibus fructiferis campanulatis 

 fructu paullum longioribus bracteam subsequantibus. — Linn. — V. biserrata. H. B. K? 



That V. biserrata is the same with V. Caroliniana, as is stated by Sprengel, is rendered probable by there 

 existing- a specimen, found by Humboldt, in Willdenow's Herbarium : the habitat, however, attached to it, 

 according to Schlechtendal and Chamisso, (Linna?a, v. 5. p. 98,) being " Mora in Mexico," applies more strictly 

 to V. veroniccafolia, which seems to differ from the true V. Caroliniana by the roundish stems. 



2. Verbena lasiostachys ; caule diffuso hirsuto quadrangulari, foliis cuneato-ovatis sub- 

 incisis duplicato-serratis scabris, spicis filiformibus axillaribus terminalibusque, calycibus 

 patentim pilosis fructiferis conicis attenuatis fructum plus duplo excedentibus bractea hirta 

 longioribus. — Link ? 



Link's character, as given in Sprengel, is too imperfect to enable us to determine whether our plant be 

 the same as his ; both are from California. In some points ours approaches to V. canescens. H. B. K.

 1. Anagallis arvensis. Linn. 



Okd. XXXVI. PLUMBAGINEiE. Juss. 

 1. Statice Limonium. L. — var. — S. Caroliniana. Walt. — Pursh. 



Ord. XXXVII. PLANTAGINEM. Juss. 



1. Plantago Camtchatica; foliis oblongis 5-nerviis glabris remote denticulatis in petiolum 

 attenuatis, pedunculis teretibus firmis striatis, spica cylindrica villosa basi laxa, bracteis 

 ovatis, sepalis ovato-rotundatis, corollas lobis lanceolatis acutis argenteis, capsula ovoidea 

 calyce duplo longiore biloculari, loculis biovulatis 1-2-spermis. — P. Camtschatica. Link.
