Distribution and habitat : Anisomeles 
moschata is endemic to Queensland where 
it is widely distributed in eastern areas, 
from just north of Cooktown to within a few 
kilometres of the New South Wales border, 
and extending up to 400 km from the east 
coast (Map 3). It inhabits eucalypt forests and 
woodlands on wide range of topographies and 
geologies, where the soils are well drained 
and frosts are absent or few. 
Phenology : Flowers and fruits have been 
recorded from every month of the year. 
Notes : This is a very widespread and variable 
species. Specimens have been assigned to this 
species on the basis of their glabrous corolla 
platform, the calyx fringe hairs longer at the 
sinus end than at the apical end, the petioles 
21-38% of lamina length, and the moderately 
dense to dense tomentum on the lower leaf 
surface. Three or four regional forms exist 
- for instance, many specimens from the 
Leichhardt pastoral district of Queensland 
are consistently small-leaved and have 
verticils with short monochasia; specimens 
from Cairns and surrounding areas have 
large leaves with numerous marginal lobes. 
Because of apparently intergrading forms and 
lack of data on floral characteristics, I have 
not erected any new species from A. moschata 
sens. lat. However, it seems highly likely that 
such a division will be possible if further 
studies are undertaken. 
The syntypes of Anisomeles salviifolia 
var. subtomentosa at K comprise a mixture 
of A. moschata and A. dallachyi. It is the 
K specimens that Domin examined before 
describing that variety (Orchard 1999); he did 
not see material at MEL or P. 
Conservation status : Least Concern.

Erect or spreading shrub, 0.3-0.6 m high. 
Upper stems and rachises without patent 
hispid hairs; short curved hairs no fixed 
direction, very dense, obscuring stem surface 
at x40 magnification; stalked glandular hairs 
absent. Cauline leaves 29-68 mm long, 11- 
32 mm wide, 2-3.6 times longer than wide, 
base narrowly cuneate (< 60°) or attenuate; 
marginal lobes dentate or serrate, irregular 
or regular, 7-14 on each side, acute or obtuse, 
0.5-1 mm deep; petioles 6-13 mm long, 16- 
27 % of lamina length. Lamina upper surface 
indumentum lanate, tangled, 0.4-0.6 mm 
long, dense (hairs <0.1 mm apart), sessile 
glands 16-48 mm 2 ; lower surface indumentum 
lanate, tangled, 0.4-0.7 mm long, dense (hairs 
< 0.1 mm apart) or very dense, obscuring 
surface at x40 magnification; transition from 
leaves to floral bracts abrupt. Floral bracts 
lanceolate or elliptical, 6-26 mm long, 2-8 
mm wide, not consistently exceeding verticils. 
Verticils (inflorescence clusters) all separated 
on rachis, cymes entirely monochasial or once 
dichasial at base then monochasial, with 3-6 
flowers per monochasium, peduncles 0-2 
mm long on lowermost cluster; bracteoles 
linear, 2-6.6 mm long, 0.2-0.4 mm wide. 
Corolla tube same length as calyx; annulus 
2-2.5 mm from base of corolla, annulus 
hairs 0.25-0.4 mm long; upper lip elliptical, 
4.3-5 mm long, with glandular hairs on outer 
surface; lower lip purple or pink, 6.3-77 mm 
long to end of lateral lobes, 11-13.6 mm long 
overall, with 1-20 or 20-100 eglandular hairs 
on platform. Longest stamens 10.5-11.5 mm 
long from base of corolla tube; filament hairs 
0.6-0.9 mm long, mainly at distal end. Style 
11.5-12 mm long; longer stigma lobe 0.7-0.8 
mm long, shorter stigma lobe 0.45-0.55 mm 
long. Fruiting calyces 1-1.9 mm apart on 
rachilla; fruiting calyx narrowly campanulate 
or cylindrical, 6.7-8.1 mm long, 2.4-3.9 mm 
wide at lobe apices, 2.1-2.8 times longer than
