Some of our native plants differ considerably from tbe con- 

 tinental ones. Prof. Wettstein's description, which I give, is 

 admirable for the latter so I have not altered it, but I would note 

 the following differences in some of the English plants : — 



Folia caulina . . . ovata vel ovato-oblonga . . . longitudine lati- 

 tudinem non multo superante, obtusa utrinque dentibus obtusis 3-5 

 vel dentibus superioribus acutis. . . . Bractete .... latitudine folia 

 caulina paulo superantes . . . , ovatfe, superiores basi breviter 

 cuueatfe, dentibus cuspidatis vel breviter aristatis .... folia omnia 

 subpatentes vel arcuato-recurvfe . . . Corolla . . . labio superiore 

 bilobo, lobis emarginatis. . . . Corolla pallide violacea vel albida 

 vel labio superiore pallide violacea et labio inferiore alba, striis 

 purpureis notata, mucula lutea in labio inferiore, fauce luteo. 



I have drawn figures of some of the leaves and bracts of a form 

 which is frequent in Scotland. Forms are also frequent in which 

 the lower leaves are longer in proportion to their width than those 

 I have figured, so as to merit the term ovate-ohhuKj, but I have never 

 seen specimens to which ovate-lanceolate would be applicable. The 

 teeth of tbe leaves and bracts of the continental form are much 

 narrower and with much longer arista.
