6 M. sytva‘ricum (Lin. spec. 843.) flowers axillary, secund ; 
corollas gaping; leaves long-lanceolate, quite entire; calycine 
segments linear lanceolate, acute. ©. H. Native of the north 
of Europe, in woods; and on the mountains in the south of 
Europe; in England. Fl. dan. t. 145. Smith, engl. bot. t.
