few botanists can distinguish fro,m canadense, 
and as both names neither apply nor convey 
any meaning, I propose to abolish them, and 
give 7 good names instead for the sp. therein 
blended: they all are realy of this G. and have 
similar racemose habit. This has a yellow ra- 
mose stem sesquipedal, leaves 2 or 3 inches long 
spikes 3 to 6 inches long, flowers incarnate as in 
nearly all. Ghiefly in Western States. 
986. Teiicrium petiolaris R. puberulent, 
stem with 4 grooves and obtuse angles, leaves 
on long petiols ovate acute, equaly serrate, base 
acute entire ; raceme pedunculate terete dense 
tomentose, bracts acuminate equal to calix, the 
lower ovate, calix canescent not angular— -how 
different from the last ! nearer to T . canadense , 
pedal, leaves biuncial not tomentose nor white 
beneath, raceme quite separated from the leaves 
and compact. In New Jersey, Long Id. and 
Virginia, often on the sea shore and with radi- 
cal surculi as in Euhemus , but this happens 
also in others. My T. riparium or Canadense 
has ovate leaves rounded at base, tomentose 
white beneath, shorter petiols &c. 
987. Teucrium bracteosum R. nearly smooth 
stem grooved, angles obtuse, leaves on short pe- 
tiols, lanceolate unequaly serrate, acuminate ; 
raceme foliose, flowers axillary to leaves and 
long bracts laciniate, upper entire, calix smooth 
not angular — another very distinct sp. pedal, 
leaves 1 or 2 inches long, with flowers at the 
axils, pubescent beneath. In N. Jersey, Penn- 
sylvania, Virginia, the T. virginicum of some 
botanists. 
988. Tetjcrium lanceolate m Raf. and Col- 
lins, stem simple pubescent grooved, angles acute 
at both ends, subequaly serrate, nearly smooth,
