The plant here figured, the Antirrbinum vifcofum of Lin- — 
N£Us, 18a native of Spain, and was introduced to the royal — 
garden at Kew, in 1786, by Monf. Tuoutn*. 2g 
_ It grows to about the fame height as the Anfirrh. /parteum, 
figured Pl. 200, has a ftouter and more upright lem, covered — 
with more numerous hairs ; its flowers are larger than thofe of — 
the /parteum, more particoloured, and have a greater affinity 
to thofe of our common Toad-flax ; in their form we may trace 
fomething of the fimilitude of a bird’s head, the calyx is re- — 
markable as to the form of its leaves, and accords fo well with * — 
that of Prof. Jacguin’s Antirrb. hirtum, defcribed in Guet Nn'S-A 
_ Linn. Syft. Nat. ed. 13. p. 931, that we ftrongly fulpeét it to — 
be the fame plant. - -e coe 3 
‘It is an annual of ready growth, and flowers in July. Y 
Its feeds fhould be fown about the beginning of April, in ~ 
fmall patches, on the borders where the plants are intended to 
remain; when the feedlings come up, they fhould be thinned, ~ 
_ and left at the diftance of two or three inches from each other. _
