 bers in the mountains. But the tribes which prevail in the latter are those 

 of which the genera are chiefly found in temperate countries ; though of 

 these a few species occur also in the plains, but it is only during the cold 

 weather ; while the tropical genera which occur in the mountains spring 

 up entirely in the rainy season," {Royle) — " Scrophulariacese are gene- 

 rally acrid, bitterish, and suspected plants." (Lindl.) Digitalis purpurea, 

 L. {Foxglove) is now almost the only plant of the order, which is usefully 

 employed in medicine. Its use requires, however, great caution.
