44 ENGLISH BOTANr. 



remote, commonly 6-flowered. Calyx campanulate ; upper lip broad, 

 flattish, recurved-concave towards the apex at the margins, with 

 3 very minute " spreading" (Gren. & Godr.) teeth, nearly destitute of 

 a spinous mucro ; lower lip with 2 longer, broadly lanceolate, spinous, 

 acuminate teeth. Corolla twice as long as the calyx ; tube without a 

 rin<T of hairs inside ; upper lip longer than the tube, nearly semi- 

 circular in profile, with the curvature greater towards the apex, not 

 glandular towards the apex. Connective of the anthers, dilated poste- 

 riorly into a wing on each side. Style at length slightly exserted 

 beyond the upper lip of the corolla. 



On dry banks. Guernsey, Mr. Borrer. Professor Babington states 

 that it has occurred at the Lizard Point, Connvall, and in Jersey. 



England ? Channel Islands. Perennial. Sprmg, and again in 

 Autumn. 



Very like S. Ycrbenaca, but smaller, less erect, and with the leaves 

 generally much more deeply pinnatifid, and with the lobes more 

 directed towards the point of the leaf; the outline of the leaf is generally 

 narrower, the base less cordate ; the upper part of the stem more hairy ; 

 the upper calj'x teeth smaller and less distinctly spinous-lipped. The 

 great diiference, however, lies in the upper lip of the corolla, which, 

 both in colour and shape, resembles that of S. pratensis ratlier than 

 that of S. Yerbenaca, though it is only about half the size, the tube 

 and limb together not being more than ^ inch long. 



All the specimens I have seen from Cornwall labelled " S. clandes- 

 tina" are only S. Yerbenaca, to Avhich also a plant from Yale Church, 

 Guernsey, must be referred. About Pontac and St. Clements, in 

 eTersey, where (in the Primitias Floras Sarnicaj) S. clandestina is said 

 to grow, I could lind notliing but S. Yerbenaca, after a most careful 

 search. The true plant is contained in Mr. Borrer's Herbarium at 

 Kew, labelled " Guernsey," in Mr. Borrer's OAvn hand^vriting.
