Strong forking herb or subshrub, blooming when 1 or 2 ft. high, but becoming several feet high if allowed to grow: sts. 4-angled: lvs. opposite, lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate to oval-oblong, narrow or broad at base, attenuate to apex, wavy-margined, veiny, downy, sometimes a foot long: fls. rose-purple (varying to flesh-colored), ascending, arched at the top and the lower lip recurving, borne in dense terminal spike-like thyrses. Brazil. B.M. 3383. B.R. 1397. G.F. 5:317 (reduced in Fig. 2005). G. 24:238. G.W. 3. p. 439; 15, p. 704. F.E. 22:320.輸 handsome old plant, of comparatively easy cult, in a conservatory temperature.
