Flowers in verticillasters or irregularly branched cymes 5-1- (-25) cm long, bracts ovate, caducous; calyx 2-2.5 mm long, enlarging to 4-6 mm long in fruit, hirtellous and glandular punctate, the glands black, upper lip broadly ovate, becoming recurved in fruit, apex acute, lower lip 4-toothed, the teeth distinctly unequal, lateral ones very short, truncate to rounded, median ones sharply pointed; corolla blue or violet, tube whitish, lower lip boat-shaped, longer than upper lip, 8-13 mm long; stamens nearly included in corolla tube.
