Gen. Char. Calyx (fig. 1.) inferior, deeply divided into 5 ob- 
long, permanent segments, the 2 lower ones rather more distant 
from each other than the rest. Corolla (fig. 2.) personate, spured 
at the base ; upper lip (fig. 3.) cloven, reflexed at the sides ; lower 
lip obtuse, 3-lobed, with an elevated palate, closing the mouth, and 
hollow underneath. Filaments (see fig. 3.) 4, two of them longer 
than the other two (didynamous,) concealed under the upper lip of 
the corolla, and sometimes accompanied by a fifth abortive stamen. 
Anthers (see fig. 3.) converging (approaching each oth n r). Germen 
(fig. 4.) roundish, or esrg-shaped. Style thread-shaped, as long as 
the stamens. Sterna blunt. Capsule (figs. 5, 6, & 7.) egg-shaped, 
or globular, 2-celled, opening with several valves, or teeth, at the 
apex. Seeds numerous, roundish, or angular, or winged, attached 
to an oblong cylindrical receptacle (placenta) , in the middle of 
the partition. 
Distinguished from Antirrhinum by the spur at the base of the corolla, and 
by the capsule opening by 2 instead of 3 pores ; and from all other genera in the 
same class and order, by the above characters, and by tbe 5-cleft calyx, the per- 
sonate corolla, and the 2-celled capsule. 
Six species British.
