This, if not a very pretty plant, is something of a geogra- 
phical curiosity, it being the first species of the genus 
Antirrhinum which has yet been found certainly wild in the 
New World; the specimens of A. orontium that have been 
met with in the United States, are believed to have been 
introduced from Europe. 
* The ávreppivoy of Theophrastus and Dioscorides was probably Antirrhinum 
Orontium. The name, which may be literally rendered Snoutwort, has obviously 
been derived from the appearance of the corolla, which resembles the snout of 
some animal.
