 simple, 2-8 dm. high ; leaves flat. 2-4 mm. wide ; racemes slender, naked, loose ; 

 corolla 1 cm. or less long, sometimes wanting (in reduced and cleistogamous 

 flowers). Sandy soil, N. B. and centr. Me., westw. and southw.

 by the filiform peduncles ; calyx-lobes lanceolate, acute ; corolla 0.5-1 cm. long, 

 including the subulate spur. (Elatinoides Wettst.) Sandy banks, shores and 

 waste places, Mass, to N. C. and Mo., rather rare. (Nat. from Eu.) 



6. L. SPURIA (L.) Mill. Like the preceding, but with roundish or cordate 

 leaves and ovate or cordate calyx-lobes. {Elatinoides Wettst.) Occasional on

1- 1- Glabrous. 



7. L. CYMBAL\RIA (L.) Mill. (KENILWORTH or COLISEUM IVY.) Leaves 

 reniform-orbicular, 5-9-lobed ; peduncles slender, becoming recurved in fruit ;

 which nearly or quite closes the throat ; upper lip erect, shortly 2-lobed. Sta- 

 mens 4, didynamous, included ; anther-cells distinct and parallel. Ours herba- 

 ceous plants with lance-oblong to linear entire leaves and axillary or racemose 

 flowers. (Name from AvrL, in the sense of like, and ply, a snout, in reference 

 doubtless to the peculiar form of the corolla.) 



1. A. ORONTIUM L. Slender usually branched annual, pubescent or smooth- 

 ish ; leaves linear ; calyx-lobes linear, exceeding the capsule ; corolla purple or 

 white, 1-1.6 cm. long. Casual in fields, about dumping grounds, etc., rather 

 rare. (Adv. from Eu.) 



2. A. M\ jus L. Perennial, glandular-pubescent and somewhat viscid ; leaves 

 lance-oblong; calyx-lobes ovate or oblong, short; corolla crimson, white, or

 Collins, Philadelphia!! botanist, 1764-1831.) 



1. C. v6rna Nutt. (BLUE-EYED MARY.) Slender, 1.5-6 dm. high; low^r
