 ed on the inside with purple lines, much longer than 

 the calyx, bilabiate ; lower lip three-lobed ; upper two-lobed ; 

 lobes shallow; faux furnished with two perpendicular villous 

 lines from the incisions of the lower lip ; a villous ring 

 within the tube immediately below the insertion of the sta- 

 mina. Stamina four, all fertile, didynamous, shorter than 

 the corolla ; the opposite anthers connected together. St^le

 sistent calyx, ovate, two-celled ; cells divided by the revo- 

 lute lobes of the dissepiments. Seeds naked, roundish,

 I have not yet been able to observe exactly their dehis- 

 cence.
