linear-lanceolate ; equal to one another and to the Tube of 
the corolla, which is elongated into a recurved spur, longer 
than the calyx: wpper-lip bifid: lacinie erect, concave : 
lower-lip three-lobed : lobes obtuse, middle one smallest, in- 
truded on the under side to form the Palate, which is orange- 
coloured and bearded. Filaments swoln at the base. Ger- 
men roundish oval, smooth. Style shorter than the stamens, 
curved at the point and turned to one side when the flower 
drops. Stigma capitate. Seeds black, triquetrous with one 
side convex. 
Seeds of our plant have been received both from Dr. Fiscuer 
and Mr. Orro under the name of Linaria silenifolia, but we 
have no doubt but that it is the same as Jacqurn’s Antirrhinum 
genistefolium, and probably the other synonyms adduced be- 
long to it ; but if so the leaves of the different varieties must 
be very considerably dissimilar, as Linnxus states that they 
are altogether like those of Genista tinctoria, with which 
ours have certainly little affinity. 
We have followed Marscnart a Breserstern in making 
three varieties of this species; of the second however we 
have considerable doubt, whether it should not be applied to 
Livaria linifolia, which seems at present a dubious species. 
We have received a plant from Messrs. Loppiees and Sons 
under the name of Linaria genistifolia, which is certainly 
different from our present subject, having linear-lanceolate 
leaves, a straight spur, and flat seeds with a membranaceous 
border like those of the common Toad-flax : this we think 
may probably be Hatier’s plant. 
_ To our variety at least, the name of genistifolia is very 
inapplicable, but as Mr. Hersert remarks, in a note accom- 
panying a specimen he sent, that of genistoides would be 
appropriate enough, as, when in flower, a tall plant of it has 
a resemblance to a bush of Broom. : 
Antireninum and Linaria were united by Linnzus into 
one genus, but modern botanists have again separated them, 
and apparently upon sufficient grounds, the latter having 2 
spur to the corolla and a calvala? or dentated capsule ; the 
former a corolla only gibbous at the base, and an oblique 
capsule, not valvular, but opening by three holes near the 
A hardy perennial. Native of Siberia and Austria. Our 
drawing was taken from a plant communicated by Mr. JENKINS 
from his botanic garden in the New-Road. It flowers most 
part of the summer.
