XCVI. LABIATE. 
frequently forming terminal racemes or panicles, the floral leaves subtending 
the clusters being reduced to small bracts. Real bracts, subtending the pedicels, 
usually abortive or reduced to bristles, rarely more prominent and leaf-like. 
Foliage and green parts often studded with glandular dots filled 'with resinous 
oil, rendering the plants highly aromatic. Nuts when soaked in water frequently 
emitting a thick mucilaginous coating. 
A large Order generally distributed over every part of the globe. 
Tiur.E 1. Ocimoidese. — Stamens 4, decimate towards the lower lube of the corolla. An- 
thers, when fully out, 1-celled by the confluence of the 2 cells into one. Nuts dry, smooth or 
minutely granular. Calyx with the upper tooth often much broader than the others; corolla with 
the 4 upper lubes flat, the lowest alone forming the lower lip, and flat, concave or saccate. 
Corolla lower lobe flat or nearly so, not longer than the upper lobes. 
Corolla-tube shorter than or scarcely exceeding the calyx. Style with 
2 short stigmatic lobes. 
Fruiting calyx reflexed with a broad decurrent upper lobe. False- 
whorls equal, 6-flowered 1. Ociaicii. 
Fruiting calyx erect spreading or reflexed, the upper lobe scarcely 
decurrent. Flowers very small in one-sided racemes 2. Moschosma. 
Corolla-tube exserted. Style capitate or clavate at the end. Calyx of 
Ocimum 3. Orthosiphox. 
Corolla lower lobe concave or boat-shaped, longer than the upper lobes 
(except in Plectranthus longicornis).

Filaments united at the base into a sheath round the style. Corolla never 
spurred 5. Colees. 
Teibe II. Satureieae. — Stamens 4 or 2, erect and equal or ascending in pairs, the upper 
pair the shortest. Anthers 2 -celled or 1-celled by the confluence of the 2 cells into one. IS uts dry, 
smooth or minutely granular. Corolla-lobes all equally spreading, or if 2-lipped the upper lip 
scarcely concave and not hoodshaped. 
Corolla-lobes nearly equal.

Perfect stamens 2 8. Lycopus. 
Tribe III. Monardeae. — Stamens 2 ; anthers with one ublung or linear perfect cell, the 
other either quite abortive or deformed or sterile or separated from the upper one by a filiform 
connective. Nuts dry , smooth or minutely granular. Calyx and corolla usually 2-lipped, 
Connective of the anthers filament-like, transversely fixed on the short 
real filament • 0. Salvia. 
Connective of the anthers very small ; anthers linear dorsifixed, cells con- 
fluent 10. ‘Monarda. 
Tribe IV. Stachydese. — Stamens 4, ascending in pairs, the lower ones the longest. 
Anthers, at least the upper ones, 2 -celled. Nuts dry, smooth or granular tuberculate. Calyx 
usually 5 or 10 -nerved. Corolla upper Up concave or hoodshaved. 
Calyx 2-lipped, the lips closed after flowering. 
Calyx upper lip flat, 3-toothed, lower 2-lobed. False whorls G-flo^ered, 
in dense terminal spikes 12.

the back. Flowers opposite in pairs 11. 
Calyx 5 or 10 toothed, not 2-lipped.
