64 ENGLISH BOTANY. 



Leaves lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, rounded and abruptly con- 

 tracted into the petiole at the base, regularly serrate throughout. 

 Verticillasters all sepai'ate. Outer bracteoles rather shorter than the 

 calyx. Tube of the corolla usually not much exceeding the calyx, 

 and never more than twice as long. 



In wheat-fields. Very local. Known to occur only in. Moray, where 

 it was found in wheat-fields on the farm of Muirhead, Milton Brodie, in 

 the parish of Alves, where it was first gathered by Mr. Wilson of 

 Alves, among wheat, in July, 1833, and from whence the Rev. Dr. G. 

 Gordon sent me specimens collected by Messrs. Naylor and Macdonald 

 in August of last year ( 1866 ) . Dr. Gordon has also sent me specimens 

 collected by Dr. Innes of Forres, so that it appears not to be confined 

 to a single locality. 



Scotland. Annual. Late Summer, Autumn. 



This comes very near G. angustifolia, but in general habit shows an 

 approach to G. ochroleuca, except that it has not the soft velvety 

 pubescence of that plant, and that the corolla is much smaller and has 

 the upper lip much less deeply cleft. The leaves are always broader 

 and more abrupt at the base than in G. angustifolia, and the margins 

 are regularly toothed, usually with 5 or 6 teeth on each side ; the 

 bracteoles are shorter and more recurved ; the calyx generally with 

 gland-tipped hairs, which are more rarely present in G. angustifolia ; 

 the nucules are rather larger, more compressed, more enlarged upwards, 

 and wholly opaque ; and the plant, especially the calyx, is usually less 

 pubescent ; the colom* of the flowers is similar.

Stem wiry, not thickened at the nodes, branched ; branches ascending. 

 Leaves lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, acute or subacute, serrate. 

 Outer bracteoles rather shorter than the calyx. Calyx teeth trian- 

 gular, spinous-pointed ; upper lip of the corolla deeply notched. Tube 

 three or four times as long as the calyx. Plant velvety-pubescent, 

 with short hairs, those on the stem deflexed and intermixed with gland- 

 tipped hairs; calyx densely velvety-pubescent, and with numerous 

 gland-tipped hairs.
