XCVI. LABIATiE. 
[Ly copus. 
teeth, contracted into a short petiole or nearly sessile, often 8 or 4in. long, 
usually scabrous with very short rigid hairs or small tubercles. Flowers in dense 
axillary false-whorls, intermixed with subulate or linear-lanceolate bracts, of 
which the outer one often exceeds the calyx. Calyx li line long or 
rather more, with 5 acute lanceolate teeth longer than the tube. Corolla 
scarcely exceeding the calyx, the lobes shorter than the tube. Staminodia small, 
usually clavate at the end, but apparently variable ; perfect stamens longer or 
shorter than corolla. — Benth. in D.C. Prod. xii. 178 ; Hook, f. FI. Tasm. i. 282. 
Hab.: Darling Downs and Stanthorpe, Burnett River and Stradbroke Island. 
9. SALVIA, Linn. 
(Alluding to the healing qualities of the Sage.) 
Calyx 2-lipped, the upper lip entire or with 3 minute teeth, the lower lip 2- 
cleft. Corolla with the upper lip erect, concave or arched, entire or scarcely 
notched, the lower lip spreading, 3-lobed, the middle lobe often notched or 
divided. Stamens 2, but easily mistaken for 4, the real filaments very short, the 
filiform connective appearing like branches of the filament, with a single oblong 
linear anther-cell at the upper end, and at the lower end a small empty cell, 
usually much deformed or quite rudimentary, rarely almost perfect. — Herbs, 
shrubs or trees, extremely diversified in habits and inflorescence. 
A very large genus, widely distributed over the temperate and warmer regions of the globe, 
although within the tropics the majority of species are mountain plants. 
1. S. plebeia (of mean appearance), B. Br. Prod. 501 ; Benth, FI. Austr. v. 
85. An erect brancing pubescent or hairy coarse annual, 1 to 2 or even 8ft. high, 
the inflorescence sometimes glandular-viscid. Leaves petiolate, oblong or lanceo- 
late, obtuse or acute, rugose, H to Sin. long. Flowers exceedingly small, in false- 
whorls of 6, forming branched paniculate racemes. Calyx pubescent, ovoid and 
1 line when in flower, reflexed and carapanulate and 2 lines long when in fruit, 
the upper lip entire, recurved, obtuse or obscurely pointed. Corolla scarcely 
longer than the calyx, the upper lip short, erect and concave. Connectives of 
the anthers free at the lower end with a small barren anther cell. — Benth. in 
D.C. Prod. xii. 355. 
Hab.: Buvdekin River, F. v. Mueller ; Rockhampton, Thozet, 0‘Shanesy ; Kennedy District, 
Daintree ; Darling Downs, Lau ; and many other localities. 
The species is common in E. India, extending from Cabul to the Philippines and northward 
to Pekin and Japan. 
2. S. coccinea (scarlet), Linn.: Benth. l.c. 343, and in f 1. Austr. v. 8G. Erect 
branching and almost shrubby, hoary-pubescent. Leaves rather small. Corolla 
scarlet, the upper lip short aud erect, the lower large and broad. 
Hab.: North America. Naturalized about towns. 
10. *MONARDA, Linn. 
(After Nic. Monarda, or Monardes, a physician of Seville.) 
Calyx tubular, elongated, 15-nerved, nearly equal 5-toothed; throat villous 
inside, rarely almost naked. Corolla with an exserted or inclosed tube, glabrous 
or pubescent inside, exannulate ; throat dilated a little; limb 2-lipped, linear or 
oblong, nearly equal ; upper lip erect, entire or emarginate ; lower lip spreading, 
shortly trifid at the apex, the lateral lobes ovate, obtuse ; the middle one narrower, 
oblong, retuse or emarginate. Stamens 2 (inferior), ascending, usually exserted 
from the upper lip of the corolla ; the rudiments of the two superior ones almost 
wanting ; filaments toothless, inserted at the throat of the corolla ; anthers 
linear, somewhat 2-celled ; ceils divaricate, confluent, with connate margins.
