812 POPULAR FIELD BOTANY. 
species mentioned now, are not very common, principally 
found in the east and south-west of England, the present 
being the most distributed. It is a very interesting little 
plant, with fine, trailing branches, spreading in all directions, 
broad leaves, most of them with two pomts near the stalk, 
and one at the top. Flowers on long hair-like stalks, small, 
yellowish, and the upper lip purple. The next, 
Linarta spurtA, Round-leaved Fluellen, is small, though. 
larger than L. elatine, the leaves rounder and downy, mostly 
alternate. Flowers with a large calyx. Branches trailing, 
growing in sandy corn-fields. 
Linaria minor. Least Toad-flax. This differs principally 
from the two mentioned above, by not being procumbent, 
and in the leaves, which are long, narrow, and obtuse; stem 
much branched, though not above six or eight inches high. 
Flowers small, purple, and yellow, stalked and growing 
singly. Sandy fields are the places in which it is found.
