In hedges and the borders of fields, on a gravelly soil, frequent. 



/3. occurs occasionally, increasing for a tinw? by roots, but is not 

 perpetuated by seed. 



Perennial. June, July. 



Root creeping, somewhat woody. Herb smooth, bright green, 

 scarcely at all glaucous. Stems 2 feet high, densely clothed, 

 with irregularly set, narrow, acute leaves, and terminating in a 

 close upright spike of rich yellow, inodorous, bracteated^otfcrs ; 

 the palate downy and orange-coloured ; the spur of each as long 

 as the tube, pointing perpendicularly downwards, and 5 times 

 the length of the calijx. Each cell of the ovate capsule opens 

 with 4 or 5 lanceolate valves. 



The curious variety /3, with a five-cleft, regular, five-spurred co- 

 rolla, and five equal stamens, made a great noise in Sweden, 

 when first discovered, and narrowly escaped being exalted, by 

 Linnaeus, into a new genus. It has however been found on the 

 same plant with /lowers that are naturally formed, see Engl. Bof. 

 t. 658., and proves in a garden a very changeable and transient 

 variety. The same alteration has been observed in several other 

 species. 



6. A. minus. Least Snapdragon. 



Leaves lanceolate, obtuse, downy, mostly alternate. Stem 

 much branched, spreadnig. Calyx longer than the spur.
