LINARIA TRIORNITHOPHORA. 
Class. Order. 
DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA. 
According to Brotero, this plant is found 
growing in shady moist places in hedges 
round about Coimbra, and other places in 
the north of Portugal. It was in the col- 
lection of Dr. Fothergill in 1779, but has 
never been plentiful. With us it flowersin 
the summer, the blossoms, as well as leaves, 
coming in threes; each flower bears a fanci- 
ful resemblance to a small bird, whence its 
name. 
It should be kept in the greenhouse, and 
may be increased by cuttings; the soil 
should be loam and peat.
