DIDYNAMIA. GYMNOSPERMIA. Galeopsis. 711 
For a complete elucidation of these obscure points, we await the publica¬ 
tion of M. Gingin of Bern, who has been long engaged in preparing a 
Monograph of this family of plants, and to whom we have submitted 
specimens. E.) 
GALEOP'SIS.* Bloss. upper lip vaulted, somewhat scolloped ; 
lower lip trifid, with a concave pointed tooth on each 
side. 
G. laudanum. (Stem not swollen below the joints: leaves spear- 
shaped, more or less serrate, hairy: upper lip of the blossom 
slightly crenate. E.) 
(E. Bot. 884. E .y—Kniph. 1 2—Riv. Mon. 24. 1 —Pet. 33. 11. 
Stem a foot high, upright, quadrangular, somewhat hairy, with spreading 
branches. Leaves opposite, on leaf-stalks, sometimes spear-shaped, ser¬ 
rated, at others very entire, taper-pointed, naked, or somewhat hairy, 
with three or four serratures on each edge. Flowers red, slightly woolly. 
Blossom helmet toothed ; lips scolloped, the middlemost segment red and 
white. Calyx teeth taper-pointed, or thorny. Huds. (The Rev. R. 
Forby has found the terminal flower sometimes regularly quadrifid as in 
G. Tetrahit, and in Norfolk a variety with narrower and almost entire 
leaves most frequent. E. Bot. E.) 
Red Hemp-nettle. E.) Corn-fields in calcareous soil, frequent. 
A. June—Aug, 
Var. 2. Calyx remarkably woolly; stems thickening upwards. 
Blossoms reddish purple; upper lip oval, hairy without; lower lip reflexed, 
irregularly scolloped, with two oval yellow spots ; teeth not observable. 
I suspect this will prove a different species, at least it differs from the 
preceding in three very striking circumstances, viz. the stem thickening 
upwards, the great woolliness of the calyx, and the blossoms being larger 
.though shorter. 
In a corn-field two miles west of Stratford-upon-Avon, near a limestone 
quarry. (On limestone hills at Fulwell, near Sunderland. Winch Guide. 
At the foot of Scoot Scar, near Kendal, and Giggleswick Scar, near 
Settle. Mr. Gough. E.) A. Sept. 
(G. villo'sa. Stem not swollen below the joints: leaves egg-spear¬ 
shaped, serrated, soft and downy: upper lip of the blossom 
deeply notched. E.) 
Dicks. H. S. — (E. Bot. 2353—Riv. Mon. 24. 2. E.)—Pct. 33. 10. 
Stem upright, quadrangular, of equal thickness between eachjoint; branch¬ 
ing, woolly. Leaves woolly, or silky, on leaf-stalks, opposite; those 
near the root egg-shaped, those of the stem spear-shaped, taper-pointed, 
with straight veins. Calyx teeth thorny. In habit it agrees with 
G. Ladanum, but differs in breadth, serratures, veins and soft hairs of 
the leaves, and in the colour of the blossoms. Huds. The hairs on the 
calyxes in this species are straight and glandular, but in the preceding- 
white, and curled like wool or cotton. ( Blossom four times as long as 
the calyx, of a pale sulphur colour, the palate deep yellow. E. Bot. E.) 
• (From y oC\r\, a cat; and oa countenance ; from an imaginary resemblance of the 
blossom to the feline physiognomy. E.)
