(near Honiton) gives me this as a local name for 
the Penny Cress. See MoNEY PLANT (2). 
MonEY Wort. A very general name for the 
Creeping Loosestrife, Lysimachia Nummularia 
MONKEY BELLS. A_ school-girl at South 
Petherton gives me this as a local name for the 
Marsh Marigold, Caltha palustris. 
MONKEY CuHops. (1) Snapdragon, Antir- 
rhinum majus (Mid. and East Somerset). 
(2) Two Everereech school-boys give m= this 
as a local name for the Ground Ivy, Nepeta 
hederacea. 
(3) From Evercrecch also I have the name 
as being applied to the ‘‘ Musk,”’ by which is 
probab:y meant Mimulus Langsdorffii, but 
possibiy M. moschatus. 
MONKEY CUPS. ‘Wild Musk,” Mimulus 
Langsdorffi (Leigh, Dorset). 
Monkey Faces. (1) Garden Pansy, Viola 
tricolor. 
(2) Yellow Toadflax, Linaria vulgaris (Mil- 
borne Port). 
(3) Tne Snapdragon, Antirrhinum majus 
(Westbury, Wiits). 
MONKEY FLOWER. (1) A very general name 
for various species of Mimulus, and particularly 
for the handsome Yellow Mimulus Langsdorffii, 
which is now found in many of our streams and 
diiches, but is a comparatively recent arrival 
from North America. 
(2) Tne Snapdragon, Antirrhinum majus (Shep- 
ton Maliet and Oakhil!). 
(3) Ground Ivy, Nepeta hederacea (Stoke- 
under-Ham). 
MonkKEY JACKS. Same as MONKEY FLOWER 
(1) (Beaminster). 
Monkey Jaws. Ivy-leaved Toad-flax, Linaria 
Cymbalaria (Stratton-on-the-Fosse).

Antirrhinum majus. 
(2) Ivy-leaved Toad-flax, Linaria Cymbalaria 
(High Ham). 
Monkey Musk. (1) Same as MONKEY

(2) The Wilts Glossary says: “The large 
garden varieties of Mimulus, which resemble 
the true Musk, but are scentless, and therefore 
merely Monkey (i.c. mock, spurious) musk ”’ 
(N.W. Wilts). Dr. Watson points out that this 
suggested derivation is an error. The name 
Mimulus means ‘little ape,’’ and refers to the 
shape of the corolla. k 
(3) Rev. H. Friend gives it as a Devonshire 
name for the Snapdragon, Antirrhinum majus, 
and I also have the name in this connection from 
a school-girl at Oakhill.
