RadiciJ leaves elliptical, all gradually attenuated towards the base, 

 and passing imperceptibly into the broadly winged petiole, gradually 

 acuminated towards the apex, acute, inunaculate, or marked on the 

 up[)er surface with small blotches a)id specks of greenish-white (rarely 

 with larger confluent blotches); lower stem leaves subsessile, stra])- 

 sliaped-oblanceolate, the upper ones lanceolate or straj)shaped-lanceo- 

 late, more or less distinctly semi-amplexicaul, not dccurrent. Corolla 

 tube glabrous within below the circle of hairs in the throat. Plant 

 rather softly pubescent, none of the hairs glandular nor vulnerant. 



In woods, copses, and on hedge-banks, on clay soil. Kare. Plentiful 

 about Ryde, Isle of Wight, but rare west of the Medina, and not 

 known to occur except near Newport and Cowes. On mainland 

 Hants, according to Dr. Bromfield, it appears to be confined to the 

 New Forest district, where it is plentiful about Lymington and 

 Boldre. The Rev. W. W. Newbould informs me that he has seen it 

 extending along the railway banks into Dorsetshire.
