MimnUis. 
exceeding 2 or 3in., the branches and peduncles and often the foliage also 
pubescent and sometimes slightly glandular. Leaves sessile, narrow-oblong, 
obtuse, entire, 1 to 2 or rarely 3 lines long, resembling those rather of M. gracilis 
than of M. repens. Pedicels filiform, usually longer than the leaves, and 
sometimes J to lin. long. Calyx scarcely 2 to 1 lines long, with short acute 
teeth. Corolla-tube at least twice as long as the calyx, and more slender than in 
the other Australian species, yellow, limb violet. Capsule oblong, shorter than 
the calyx, the valves usually entire. 
Hab : Norman and Gilbert Rivers, T. Guilin r : southern localities inland. 
6. MAZUS, Lour. 
(From inazos , a breast ; from the swellings on throat of corolla.) 
Calyx broadly campanulate, 5-lobed. Corolla with the upper lip erect, ovate 
shortly bifid ; the lower lip much larger, spreading, broadly 3-lobed, with 2 slight 
protuberances at its base in the throat. Stamens 4. all fertile; anther-cells 
contiguous, at length divaricate. Style with 2 ovate equal stigmatic laminae. 
Capsule globular or compressed, obtuse, opening Joculicidally in 2 entire valves. 
— Low herbs. Lower leaves opposite, the upper ones alternate, or all nearly 
rosulate. Flowers in terminal one-sided racemes or solitary. 
The genus comprises a small number ol tropical and east Asiatic species, besides the 
Australian one. which only extends to New Zealand. — Benth. » 
1. IVX. pumilio (small), R. Hr. I’rorf. 439; Benth. HI. Austr. iv. 484. A 
■small perennial, with a creeping rhizome. Stems very short or scarcely any 
besides the peduncle. Leaves forming an erect tuft or spreading rosette, from 
obovate and not Ain. long to oblong and above 2in. long, all obtuse, irregularly 
sinuate-toothed or rarely entire, glabrous or nearly so underneath, rarely glabrous 
on both sides. Scapes or peduncles leafless, usually exceeding the leaves, bearing 
either a single flower or a loose raceme of very few flowers on long pedicels. 
Bracts very few and minute, scattered more frequently on the pedicels than on 
the peduncle, and often entirely wanting. Calyx about 2 lines long, the lobes 
narrow, shorter than the tube, enlarged and more deeply lobed after flowering. 
Corolla-tube scarcely exceeding the calyx ; lobes of the lower lip longer than the 
tube. Capsule enclosed in the calyx. — Benth. in DC. Prod. x. 375 ; Hook. f. FI. 
Tasm. i. 290; Endl. lconogr. t. 102; Hook. Ic. PI. t. 507 (the flowers too 
small). 
Hab.: Marooehie. 
The species is also in New Zealand, and comes near to some of the smaller forms ol the 
common Asiatic M. mgosus, but besides the difference in habit and foliage, the calyx is narrow 
and much less open — Benth. 
7. ADENOSMA. R, Br. 
(Glandular hairs scented.) 
(Pterostigma, Benth. ) 
Calyx divided to the base into 5 segments or sepals, the upper one larger. 
Corolla tubular at the base, the upper lip erect, entire or notched, the lower one 
spreading, 3-lobed. Stamens 4. in pairs; anthers of the lower pair 1-celled (by 
the abortion of the other cell), of the upper pair 2-eelled. with the cells separate 
and rather distant, or rarely 1 celled. Style dilated at the end into 2 short 
stigmatic lobes, and more or less winged below the lobes. Capsule acuminate, 
opening septicidally in 2 bifid valves or in 4 valves, the placentas of the 2 carpels 
completely separating at maturity. Seeds numerous, small, striate and 
reticulate. — Glandular-pubescent or villous herbs, usually strong-scented and
