LABI AT JE. G5 



In corn-fields on sandy soil. Rare. Berechurch, Essex; Bangor, 

 Carnarvonshire ; near Newark, Nottingham ; plentiful at Cantley, near 

 Doncaster, Yorkshire; between Ryton and Winlaton, Durham. Re- 

 ported from Lancashire by Hudson : but thia requires confirmation 

 by recent authority. 



England. Annual. Late Summer, Autumn. 



G. ochroleuca has veiy much the aspect of G. Ladanum, especially 

 of the sub-species G. intermedia, but tlie leaves are generally larger and 

 broader, more deeply serrate ; and the whole plant is much more softly 

 and thickly pubescent, and more glandular. The bracts are shorter, 

 less stiff, and scarcely recurved; the calyx-teeth are shorter, little 

 more than half the length of the tube, and narrowing gradually from 

 the base to the apex; the corolla is much larger, usually 1^ inch long, 

 the tube more dilated upwards, and the upper lip mtich more deeply 

 notched ; the colour is generally pale yellow, but the plant has been 

 found also with white and with purple flowers. The nucules resemble 

 those of G. intermedia in shape and size, and like them are olive-brown, 

 opaque, and sprinkled with patches of whitish scales.
