Tribe II.— CIIELONEiE. 
Corolla tubular, more or less bilabiate, not spurred or saccate 
at the base ; upper lip covering the others in bud. Stamens 4, 
didynamous, with the rudiment of a fifth which bears no anther.

GENUS IL—S CROPHULARIA. Tournef. 
Calyx 5 -partite or 5-cleft. Corolla tubular, sub-bilabiate ; 
tube sub-globular or urceolate ; limb with the upper lip the 
largest, 2-lobed, the lower with 3 short flat lobes, of which the 
lateral ones are erect and the lower one spreading or reflexed. 
Stamens 4, didynamous, generally with a fifth reduced to a flattened 
filament terminating in a free scale-like appendage at the base of 
the upper lip, sometimes absent. Anthers transverse, with the 
lobes confluent, so as to be 1-celled. Stigma capitate, entire. 
Capsule generally conical, acute, opening septicidally and septi- 
fragally by 2 valves. Seeds very numerous, minute. 
Herbs, with the lower leaves opposite. Elowcrs rather small, 
lurid purple, green, yellow, or reddish, in axillary cymes arranged 
so as to form a slender panicle. 
The name of this genus of plants is due to the supposed efficacy of the species in 
curing scrofula.
