Benth. var. pilosiuscula Gray Browne s Savory Clinopodium brownei is a perennial with sprawling square stems and opposite leaves. This herb is heavily pubescent on the stem and inner and outer calyx. The corolla is bilabiate. The lips are thin and delicate and may contain hairs. The corolla color is pinkish white to lavender and sometimes white. There are four stamens which are didynamous and epipetalis. The ovary is 4 lobed with a gynobasic style with acute apices. Under the ovary appears to be a nectiferous gland. This herb is found during late winter and early spring in marshy environments along the Gulf Coast of the United States, specifically from Texas through Florida.

It includes approximately 11,000 species divided into about 20 family biology families . Well known or economically important members of this order include lavender , lilac , olive , jasmine , the ash tree , teak , snapdragon , sesame , psyllium , and a number of table herbs such as mentha mint , basil , and rosemary . Characteristics Species in this order typically have the following characteristics, although there are exceptions to all of them superior ovary plants ovary composed of two fused carpel s five petal s fused into a tube bilaterally symmetrical, often bilabiate Corolla flower corollas four or fewer fertile stamen s Taxonomic history Lamiales formerly had a restricted circumscription e.g., by Arthur Cronquist that included the major families Lamiaceae Labiatae , Verbenaceae , and Boraginaceae plus a few smaller families. Recent phylogenetic work has shown that Lamiales is polyphyletic with respect to order Scrophulariales and the two groups are now usually combined in a single order that also includes the former orders Hippuridales and Plantaginales . Lamiales has become the preferred name for this much larger combined group. The placement of Boraginaceae is unclear but phylogenetic work shows that this family does not belong in Lamiales.

Babiana socotrana is a perennial , herbaceous and bulbous plant species in the Iridaceae family endemism endemic to Socotra . The genus name is derived from the Greek language Greek words Ixia , referring to the radially symmetrical flowers in the genus of that name, as well as cyanos , meaning blue . ref name Goldblatt2008 cite book author Manning, John Goldblatt, Peter title The Iris Family Natural History & Classification publisher Timber Press location Portland, Oregon pages 118 120 year 2008 isbn 0 88192 897 6 ref It was known until 2003 as Babiana socotrana . However, this species differs from all other members of the genus Babiana in the shape and type of pollen grain s, basic chromosome number, x 10, corm s globose and of axillary origin, and the morphology of the seed s. For this reason was excluded from Babiana and referred to the new genus Cyanixia . Other Babiana species have a basic chromosome number of x 7, terminal corm ontogeny, and pear shaped seeds. Cyanixia socotrana was previously assigned to Babiana because of superficial similarities in morphology, including plicate leaves and blue flowers, thought at the time to be bilabiate, although now known to be actinomorphic and rotate. DNA sequence analysis using the chloroplast gene matK confirms that Babiana is a monophyletic assemblage, whereas B. socotrana is sister to the Lapeirousia Savannosiphon clade of sub Saharan Africa . The latter shares axillary corm ontogeny, together with the southern African Micranthus , Thereianthus , and Watsonia plant Watsonia , in contrast to the more common situation in Crocoideae inclu ... more details

Many of these genera were formerly included in the family Scrophulariaceae sensu sensu lato . Together they are a monophyletic group, forming a distinct family. This is a cosmopolitan family , found mainly in temperate Eurasia , North America , South America , parts of Australia , New Zealand and tropical Africa . The Orobanchaceae are Annual plant annual Herbaceous plant herb s or Perennial plant perennial herbs or shrub s, and all except Lindenbergia and Rehmannia are parasitic plant parasitic on the root s of other plants &ndash either holoparasitic or hemiparasitic fully or partly parasitic . The holoparasitic species lack chlorophyll and therefore cannot perform photosynthesis . They may be yellowish, brownish, purplish, or white. Their alternate Leaf leaves have been reduced to somewhat fleshy, sessile scales. The hemiparasitic species transferred from Scrophulariaceae are capable of photosynthesis, and may be either facultative or obligate parasites. Parasitic plants are attached to their host by means of Haustorium haustoria , which transfer nutrient s from the host to the parasite. Only the hemiparasitic species possess an additional extensive root system. In most holoparasitic species there is a swollen mass of short, bulky roots or one big swollen haustorial organ, which may be simple or composite. The hermaphrodite hermaphroditic flowers are bilaterally symmetrical and grow either in raceme s or spikes or singly at the apex of the slender stem. The tubular sepal calyx is formed by 2 5 united sepals. There are five united, bilabiate petal s form ... more details
