North Division. 



4. North-west District, Flax fields at Winsley and South Wrax- 

 hall; introduced into Wiltshire with the cultivation of that plant. 

 Stem twining round the flax plants, with heads about the size of 

 peas, containing fewer flowers in a bead than in C. Europcea (Linn.), 

 much more succulent, and cellular when seen under a lens. Tube 

 of corolla inflated at the time of flowering. Scales very minute, 

 adpressed, fringed with teeth, distant, with rounded spaces between 

 them.

3. South-west District, " Abundant on Clover in a field south of 

 Wilton," Rev. E. Simms. Probably introduced \fith foreign seed. 

 This plant is very nearly allied to C. Epithymum (Murr.), for 

 which it is doubtless often passed over. The stem forms closer 

 coils, and the plant grows in larger patches, killing all the Clover 

 within the area. According to Professor Babington, it difiers from 

 C. Epithymum in having the scales narrow, only half the length of 

 the tube of the corolla, distant, with the sinus between them 

 rounded, and the connecting membrane forming cup-like spaces 

 between itself and the tube of the corolla. The species of this 

 genus do not appear to be frequent in Wilts, and not persistent in 

 any locality. 



ORDER. BORAGINACE^.i (DE CAND.) 



Cynoglossum, (Linn.) Hound's-tongue. 



Linn. CI. V. Ord. i. 



Name. From (kuon, kunos), a dog, and (glossa), a tongue ; iu 



allusion to the shape and texture of the leaf. 



^ Asperugo prociimhens (Linn.) Engl. Bot. t. 661., is stated in Dr. Maton's 

 " Nat. Hist. Wilts," to be abundant " On the hills above Wick," {South West 

 District), Mr. James Hussey, and myself have repeatedly searched the locality 

 for this scarce plant, but have never been successful in finding it (I believe 

 that Lycopsis arvensis is at times mistaken for this. T. B. F.)
