foliage apparently viscid and very strongly scented. Leaves sessile and often 
clustered in the axils, linear or almost lanceolate, obtuse, entire, thick, flat or 
concave, the margins never recurved, mostly about Jin. long. Flowers axillary, 
on short pedicels, the bracts linear, obtuse, thick and often as long as the calyx. 
Calyx 2J lines or at length 3 lines long, rather narrow, prominently striate, the 
lips ovate, the upper one considerably longer than the lower. Corolla not seen
