Common by roadsides, field-borders, and on cold stiff soil. Often very 



abundant. It occurs plentifully in all the districts, as at 

 1. Isis. Longworth. Cumnor. Coleshill, &c. 2. Ock. Boar's 



Hill. Kennington. South Hinksey. Marcham. Didcot.

 An extreme form of this is probably the 



Var. DivERGENs (Jord. in Schultz, Arch. Fl. Fr. et Allem. 191, as 

 a species of Odontites). 



This appears to be fonder of lighter soil. I have seen it at Boar's 

 Hill, Kintbury, Mortimer, Hurst, Sindlesham, Maidenhead, &c. 

 The form alba I have seen at Wootton, &c. 

 Bartsia Odontites is found plentifully in all the bordering counties.
