Flowers variegated, arranged in 6-flowered distant whorls, 
about as long as the floral leaves. Calyxes villous, pungent. 
Galea hairy; the middle segment of the lower lip nearly 
round. i 
We take advantage of the present occasion to remark, 
that although no species of Stachys has been before de- 
scribed as a native of Chile, yet that there are at least 
five of the genus in that country. Of these, one of the 
most remarkable, and which is now growing in the Horti- 
cultural Society’s Garden, is. the following :— 
S. albicaulis; caule erecto lanato, foliis oblongis dentatis arachnoideis subtus 
petiolisque lanatis, rachi pubescente, bracteis integerrimis. calycibus 
' galedque glanduloso-hirsutis. 
This was found by Mr. M‘Rae, near the baths of 
Colina. It is readily known by its woolly stem and leaves, 
‘and by its pubescent, glandular rachis, and calyxes, the 
green colour of which contrasts strongly with the whiteness 
of the other parts of the plant.
