About 50 species of herbs and shrubs native to the Mediterranean region with dense axillary whorls of rather large yellow, purple or white fls. Perhaps a dozen species have been cult., but they are rather coarse plants except for wild gardening and among shrubbery. They are of the easiest culture. The genus is placed by Bentham and Hooker next to Leonotis (Lion's Ear), which, however, has an exces- sively long upper lip. Phlomis plants are more or less woolly, and some of the species not cult, in America are conspicuously white-woolly. Lvs. all alike, or the up- permost reduced to bracts: whorls many- or few-fld.: fls. sessile; calj'x usually plicate, truncate or with 5 equal teeth; upper lip of the corolla (galea) broad and com- pressed or strongly concave, rarely narrow and falcate; stamens 4, didynamous. The first three species described below belong to the section Euphlomis, in which the galea (upper lip of the corolla) is only shortly bearded and the lateral lobes of the lower lip are small and appendaged ; the last species belongs to the section Phloraidopsis, in which the galea is long-bearded in- side and at the margins and the lateral lobes of the lower lip are nearlv as large as the middle one. P. tuberosa has run wild sparingly in the East. It is a vigorous and hardy species, propagating by subter- ranean Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectl
