it in Arragon. It was cultivated in 1683 by Sutherland, 
and flowers from July to September. 
9. Phlomis tuberofa, or tuberous-rooted phlomis: invo¬ 
lucres hifpid, awl-fhaped; leaves cordate, rugged; Item her¬ 
baceous. Root tuberous. Teeth of the calyx fpreading, 
hifpid; helmet of the corolla toothed. Seeds ovate-ob¬ 
long, fomewhat convex on one fide, angularon the other, 
truncate above and hifpid with white ftar-like briftles, 
acuminate below, fmooth, ferruginous, or deep cheftnut 
colour: navel at the bafe of the leed fimple. Stalks pur¬ 
ple, four-cornered, five or fix feet high. Leaves broad 
at the bafe, terminating in acute points, crenate on their 
edges. Flowers of a pale purple colour, and hairy; they 
appear in June and July, and the feeds ripen in Septem¬ 
ber ; foon after which the ftalks decay ; but the roots will 
abide many years. Native of Siberia. Cultivated in 1759 
by Mr. Miller. This handfome fpecies is reprefented on

10. Phlomis Zeylanica, or Ceylon phlomis; leaves lan¬ 
ceolate, fubferrate; heads terminating; calyxes eight- 
toothed. Stem of the fame ftature with P. leonurus, two 
feet high, upright, herbaceous, four-cornered, blunt. 
Native of the Eaft Indies. Introduced in 1777 by John 
Gerard Koenig, M. D. It is a biennial plant, flowering 
from June to October. 
11. Phlomis Caribaea, or Weft-Indiari phlomis: leaves 
ovate-lanceolate, villofe; whorls roundilh, very clofe ; 
involucres brittle - fliaped, hirfute; Item herbaceous. 
Root branching. Stem four-cornered, more flender than 
a reed, foft and villofe. It is an annual plant, two feet 
high, upright, and without any fcent. Native of the 
Weft Indies. Introduced in 1781 by Mr. Francis Mafl'on. 
It flowers from July to September. 
ia. Phlomis urticifolia, or nettle-leaved phlomis: 
leaves ovate ferrate, canefcent; involucres awl-fliaped 5 
calyxes obliquely truncate,membranaceous-,nine-toothed. 
Stem herbaceous, upright, branched, villofe, when mag¬ 
nified, canefcent. It refembles P. Indica; but the Item 
and leaves are canefcent with very minute hairs, and not 
tomentofe; the leaves have deep ferratures, flat, not wrin- 
led, and tomentofe underneath; with tmaller calyxes. 
Found in the Eaft Indies by Koenig, and in Arabia by 
Forlkahl. 
13. Phlomis Indica, or Eaft-Indian phlomis : involucres 
linear ; calyxes one-lipped, oblique ; leaves ovate, hairy. 
Leaves ovate, ferrate, attenuated at the bafe, petioled, 
clothed with foft hairs, green. It is very nearly allied to 
P. Zeylanica. Native of the Eaft Indies. 
14. Phlomis Moluccoides, or Molucca phlomis: leaves 
ovate ; involucres briltle-ftiaped ; the lower lip of the 
calyx rounded, large, membranaceous. 15. Phlomis gla- 
brata, or fmooth phlomis: leaves ovate, ferrate; lower 
lip of the calyx produced, three-toothed ; branches re- 
verfely hairy. 16. Phlomis alba, or white phlomis: 
leaves ovate, ferrate, villofe ; calyxes five-toothed oblique. 
Thefe three fpecies were found in Arabia by Forlkahl. 
17. Phlomis biflora, or two-flowered phlomis: leaves 
ovate, ferrate; calyxes folitary, oppofite, ten-toothed. 
Stem herbaceous, branched, flender, weak, flightly villofe. 
Native of the Eaft Indies. 
18. Phlomis nepetifolia, 6r cat-mint-leaved phlomis : 
leaves cordate, acute, ferrate, fubtomentofe; calyxes fix 
or eight toothed; upper and lower tooth larger; Item 
herbaceous. Stem fimple, upright, quadrangular, blunt. 
Leaves deeply and fomewhat biuntly ferrate, green. 
Whorls few towards the top, globular, many-flowered ; 
corolla villofe, of the fame appearance and colour with 
that of P. leonurus, but one-third only of the fize. It 
is an annual plant, native of the Eaft Indies : flowering 
here in September and Oftober. Sir Jofeph Banks intro¬ 
duced it in 1778. 
19. Phlomis leonurus, narrow-leaved phlomis, or lion’s 
tail: leaves lanceolate, ferrate; calyxes ten-cornered, 
ten-toothed, pointlefs ; ftem fhrubby. This is a very 
handfome plant when it is in flower; corolla of a tawny 
or golden colour, and Ihining like filk ; antherre two- 
lobed, yellow, having globular meal fprinkled over them 
at the bafe only. It rifes with a flirubby ftalk feven or 
eight feet high, fending out feveral branches, which are 
four-cornered. Leaves about three inches long, and half 
an inch broad, hairy on their upper fide, and veined on 
their under. The branches have each two or three fef- 
file whorls of flowers towards the ends. There is a va¬ 
riety of it with variegated leaves. Native of the Cape 
of Good Hope. Cultivated in 1721 in the Botanic Gar¬ 
den at Cheifea. It flowers from October to December. 
20. Phlomis leonitis, or dwarf-lhrubby phlomis: 
leaves ovate, blunt, fubtomentofe, crenate; calyxes 
feven-toothed, awned ; ftem fhrubby. It bears much re- 
femblance and is nearly allied to the preceding ; but the 
leaves are ovate, not lanceolate, and more tomentofe ; 
and it differs materially by its awned calyxes. It agrees 
more with Ph. nepetifolia ; but differs from that in having 
a flirubby ftalk, fmali, blunt, more-compaft, leaves, and 
the neck of the calyx rough-haired. The corollas agree 
in all the three fpecies. Boerhaave and Miller frequently 
received the feeds from the Cape of Good Hope, where it 
grows naturally. It appears from the Herbariums in the 
Britifh Mufeum, that it was cultivated in 1713 by the 
duchefs of Beaufort. It flowers in June and July. 
21. Phlomis Chinenfis, or Chinefe phlomis: leaves 
ovate, ferrate, tomentofe, filky; calyxes in whorls, ten¬ 
toothed. Native of China. 
22. Phlomis biloba, or clover phlomis : leaves ovate- 
oblong, tomentofe ; from four to fix flowers in a whorl; 
calyxes half-five-cleft; villofe-wool-bearing, upper lip of 
the corollas two-parted. A very beautiful fpecies: 
native of the kingdom of Algiers. 
23. Phlomis crinita, or thick-leaved hairy phlomis: 
leaves heart-fhaped, obfcurely crenate, denfely woolly; 
floral ones ovate; bradtes fetaceous, clothed, like the 
calyx, with long compound hairs. Found by Cavanilles 
on hills in Spain, growing along with Ph. purpurea. 
The ftem is herbaceous. Leaves very thick and woolly 
on both fides, fnow-white, heart-fhaped, acute, finely 
crenate, on longifti woolly ftalks. Flowers pale-orange, 
in numerous whorls, accompanied by feflile ovate leaves, 
lefs denfely woolly than the proper foliage. 
24. Phlomis lunarifolia,or honefty-leaved phlomis: leaves 
heart-fhaped, crenate, downy beneath 5 bradfes ovato- 
lanceolate, undivided, fpinous, fringed with tufts of hairs. 
Gathered by Dr. Sibthorp in Greece,and on Mount Athos. 
25. Phlomis pungens, or needle-pointed phlomis: 
leaves oblong - lanceolate, ferrated towards the point; 
rough above, downy beneath, the upper ones entire; 
bradtes awl-fliaped, deeply three-cleft; teeth of the calyx 
horizontal, awl-fhaped, pungent. Root perennial. Stems 
obtufely quadrangular, purplifh, with many oppofite 
leafy branches, clothed with minute ftarry pubefcence. 
Leaves on fliort ftalks, fpreading, two or three inches long, 
the lower ones only partly ferrated ; all green and rough 
above; clothed with hoary ftellated pubefcence beneath. 
Flowers purple, in numerous whorls; calyx hoary, fome- 
times rather hairy. Native of Armenia, Perlia, and 
Siberia. 
26. Phlomis alpina, or alpine phlomis: radical leaves 
heart-fhaped, dowmy; floral ones lanceolate, ferrated; 
bradtes deeply three-cleft, linear-awl-fhaped, hairy, as 
well as the ftem. Native of the Altaic mountains, and 
various parts of Siberia, in a rich foil; flowering in June 
and July. Linnaeus confidered this as not diftinft from 
his tuberofa. His fpecimen wants the radical leaves, but 
the floral ones are very unlike, being much larger, and 
very deeply as well as fharply ferrated. The braftes are 
fomewhat broader, and much more hairy. Flowers large, 
the edge of their upper lip deeply jagged. The root is
