The mint family (labiatae).— The mint family contains a large number of genera and takes its common name from the mints, of which there are several species belong- ing to the genus mentha. In the figure of the " dead-nettle " (Lamium amplexicaule), which is also one of the members of this family, we see that the lobes of the irregular corolla are arranged in such a maimer as to suggest two lips, an upper and a lower one. From this character of the corolla, which obtains in nearly all the members, the family receives its name of Labiaice. The calyx is five-lobed. The stamens, four in number, arise from the tube of the corolla, and converge in pairs. The ovary is divided into four lobes, and at the maturity of the seed.
