the under side of the leaves ; thin leaves mostly ovate or ovate-lanceolate, 
irregularly and deeply toothed or lobed, contracted into a distinct petiole, more or 
less rugose, green on both sides or hoary underneath, 1 to If in. long, passing into 
smaller, narrower and less cut floral leaves, which are sometimes as well as the 
upper stem ones all entire or slightly toothed, or all the leaves are oblong or 
broadly lanceolate and more regularly toothed, or all are rather broad or deeply 
lobed. Peduncles slender, shorter or longer than the leaves, bearing a loose 
cyme of 3 to 7 or rarely more flowers, usually rather smaller than in T. racemosum, 
but sometimes at least as large, otherwise the same as in that species, the calvx- 
teeth nearly equal and as long as or longer than the tube, the 4 upper lobes of the 
corolla nearly equal and oblong, the middle lower one twice as long. Nuts pube-

Var. hirsutum. The whole plant viscid and hirsute with rather long spreading hairs. 
Leaves ralher large, contracted into a very short petiole or quite sessile. Cymes loose, several 
flowered. Perhaps a distinct species.

4. T. ajugaceum (Ajuga-like), Bail, et F. r. M. ; 2ml Suppl. Syn. Ql. FI. 
48. A densely hairy perennial with procumbent quadrangular branches often 
extending to several feet in length. Leaves 6 to 9 lines long and about as wide, 
in distant sessile pairs, 3 to 6 or more lobed, cuneate towards the base. Flowers 
axillary, in short cymes ; few flowers, seldom much exceeding the leaves. Calyx 
about 3 lines long ; teeth acute, of equal length with the tube. Corolla exceed- 
ing the calyx by about fin., slightly pubescent outside, with a tuft of white hairs 
on either side in the throat ; upper lip oblong, about equal in length with the 
lateral lobes of the lower lip ; middle lobe much larger and very obtuse. Stamens 
more or less hairy, densely so close under the anther. Nuts glabrous. .

5. T. argutum (alluding to the sharp calyx- teeth and bracts), U. Br. Prod. 
504 ; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 135. A perennial with erect simple or slightly 
branched stems of 6in. to 1ft., the whole plant pubescent or hirsute but green. 
Leaves on rather slender petioles, ovate-lanceolate or ovate, sometimes hastate, 
regularly serrate or crenate, or rarely less regularly toothed or lobed, more or 
less rugose, mostly from ^ to If in. long, the floral ones reduced to small 
lanceolate or rarely ovate persistent bracts. Flowers not very constantly opposite, 
sessile or shortly pedicellate, in loose or dense terminal spikes. Calyx 2 to 3 
lines long, the teeth acute, shorter than the tube, the upper ones especially the 
uppermost one rather broad, the 2 lowest narrow. Corolla with the 4 upper 
(lateral) lobes very small acute and distant, the middle lower lobe much larger 
and obovate. Nuts glabrous. — Benth. in DC. Prod. xii. 584.

Calyx-teeth 5, equal. Corolla-tube short or long, the upper lip very short,
