below the seedcase (inferior) ; corolla of 5 petals, united into a long tube inflated at the throat, 
and separating into 2 lips (bilabiate), the upper lip erect, arched, entire or slightly notched, 
and the lower lip spreading, 3-lobed, the side (lateral) lobes often small and tooth-like, inserted 
below the seedcase (hypogynous) ; stamens 4, in unequal pairs, included in the upper lip of the 
corolla, the filaments curving inwards (converging) till each pair of anthers meets, the anthers 
generally hairy, opening lengthways, inserted on the corolla-tube (epi-petalous) ; carpels 2, united 
into a 4-celled seedcase and a long style divided at the apex into 2 stigmas ; fruit of 4 little nuts
