Tokyo, IX.1895, p. 72. 
Robust perennial, attaining about 10 decirn. in height, with a stout 
and often ramose inflorescence and a stout and short stem. Stem terete, 
pubescent, leafy. Leaves opposite, placed towards the base of the plant ， 
with a petiole which is dilated at the base, but sessile and clasping the 
stem in the upper ones, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate，rather 
shortly narrowed below, bipinnatifid, broadly winged on both sides of the 
racliis ， glabrous, but pubescent along the racliis in the upper surface, the 
superior ones smaller in size and connate at the base, the largest one 
attaining 40 cm. or more in length and about 16 cm. in breadth; pinn^ 
numerous, patent ， alternate, lanceolate, attaining about 3§ cm. wide, acu¬ 
minate, with numerous deltoid-lanceolate and taperingly pointed lobes which 
are argutely serrate with simple or serrulate teeth, largest in the middle 
ones but gradually diminished below and at length into only serrated deltoid 
lobes; rachis prominent beneath, the wing irregularly dentate with serrulate 
teeth; veins of pinnae numerous，straight or slightly arcuate. Inflores¬ 
cence over-toping the leaves, loosely ramose, but occasionally simple ; spike 
elongate，with stout and pubescent rachis; bracts numerous, alternate and 
sessile, but opposite and connate below in the inferior ones, deltoid-ovate, 
or orbicular-ovate, or elliptical, concave, acute or obtuse, inciso-serrate with 
serrulate teeth, many or several-veined, with fine and reticulated veinlets 
"between veins, pubescent with glantlular and several-cellular hairs, 1-4 cm. 
long but the inferior ones often larger and leaf-like with broad and connate 
bases, persistent. Flowers closely disposed, erect-patent, very shortly pedi¬ 
cellate or nearly sessile, subtended by the br?tCt which much shorter than 
tlie flower, 4—5 cm. long, rose-coloured. Calj'x campanulate, sometimes 
tabuloso-campanulate, 9-15 mm. long, sparingly pubescent and ciliated 
with glandular and several-cellular hairs; the tube membranaceous，with 5 
nerves each running to 七 he limb-lobes accompanied by usually a weak vein 
between them, with reticulated and delicate veinlets above ; the limb usually 
5-lobed ; with rounded sinuses between lobes, the lobes about one-thirds 
as long as tlie calyx-tube, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acute, pluriserrate or 
sub inciso-serrate excepting its very base, thicker than the tube. Corolla 
about 3 j-times as long as the calyx, bilabiate, splitting down to the middle, 
deciduous; the tube more or less attenuated below, hairy partly below the 
lower lip internally; tlie upper lip erect, slightly arcuate inwards and sub- 
galeate, with an obtuse end, pubescent with inany-cellular hairs on both 
front margins ； the lower lip ample and equalling the upper lip in length,
