 1. H. Native of Europe, North of Africa, and Middle Asia, 

 in shady mountain places, &c. ; in some parts of Scotland. This 

 is a very variable plant, but is readily distinguished from others 

 by the form of the corolla. Leaves petiolate, crenated, doubly 

 toothed, or a little cut, usually green, but often lined and blotch- 

 ed with white, more or less wrinkled, and villous. Whorls 10-
