Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Herpestis (name refers to the creeping habit of some species). Scrophulariaceae. About 60 herbs, mostly of warm and tropical parts of the world, 1 or 2 of which may be transferred to cult, grounds now and then. The name Herpestis is now given up by systematic botanists, the "nomina conservanda" of the Vienna code using Aublet's Bacopa for the genus and others adopting P. Browne's Monniera or Lamarck's Bramia. Allied to Mim- ulus, but differs in short corolla and in unequally toothed calyx: low herbs, blooming in summer, sometimes rather succulent: lvs. opposite: fls. small, peduncled, mostly solitary in the axils, blue, purple or white; corolla 2-lipped or nearly regular; stamens 4, didynamous, not protruding; style slender; stigma 2-lobed or capitate. H. monnieria, HBK., or Bacopa Monnima, Wettst., grows near the sea and along river-banks, Md. to Texas and south: glabrous, creeping, perennial, somewhat fleshy: lvs. spatulate to cuneate, entire or sparingly toothed, sessile: fls. pale blue, about ½ in. long or less, the corolla only obscurely 2-lipped. Other native species with 2-lipped corolla are H. amplexicaulis, Pursh, blue; H. rotundifolia, Pursh, white or pale blue; H. nigrescens, Benth., whitish or purplish. L. H.
