44 ENGLISH EOTANY. 



remote, commonly G-flowered. Calyx campanulate ; upper lip broad, 

 flattish, recurved-concave towards the apex at the margins, with 

 3 very minute "spreading" (Gren. & Godr.) teeth, nearly destitute of 

 a spinous mucro ; lower lip with 2 longer, broadly lanceolate, spinous, 

 acuminate teeth. Corolla twice as long as the calyx ; tube without a 

 ring of hairs inside ; upper lip longer than the tube, nearly semi- 

 circular in profile, with the curvature greater towards the apex, not 

 glandular towards the apex. Connective of the anthers, dilated poste- 

 riorly into a wing on each side. Style at length slightly exserted 

 beyond the upper lip of the corolla. 



On dry banks. Guernsey, Mr. Borrer. Professor Babington states 

 tliat it has occurred at the Lizard Point, Cornwall, and in Jersey. 



England ? Channel Islands. Perennial. Spring, and again in 



Autumn. 



Very like S. Yerbenaca, but smaller, less erect, and with the leaves 

 generally much more deeply pinnatifid, and with the lobes more 

 directed towards the point of the leaf; the outline of the leaf is generally 

 iiarrower, the base less cordate ; the upper part of the stem more hairy ; 

 the upper calyx teeth smaller and less distinctly spinous-lipped. The 

 great difference, however, lies in the upper lip of the corolla, which, 

 both in colour and shape, resembles that of S. pi'atensis rather than 

 that of S. Verbenaca, though it is only about half the size, the tube 

 and limb together not being more than i inch long. 



All the sjiecimens I have seen from Cornwall labelled " S. clandes- 

 tina " are only S. Verbenaca, to which also a plant from Vale Church, 

 Guernsey, must be referred. About Pontac and St. Clements, in 

 Jersey, where (in the Primitite Horse Sarnicae) S. clandestina is said 

 to grow, I could find nothing but S. Verbenaca, after ii most careful 

 search. The true plant is contained in Mr. Borrer's Herbarium ii 

 Kew, labelled " Guernsey," in Mr. Bonder's o^vn Iiandwi'iting.

Herbaceous. Radical leaves longly stalked, oblong-ovate or trian- 

 gular-ovate, subobtuse or acute, crenately lobed or doubly crenate- 

 dentate, rarely mciso-pinnatifid ; lowest pair of stem leaves stalked,
