Caesar's Cainp Hill, East Wear Bay, and Lyddon Spout ; on the 

 undcrclifF between St. Margaret's Bay and Kingsdown, and on 

 Deal sand-hills. 



England. Perennial. Early Summer. 



Stem very stout, brittle, enlarged at the base, 6 to 20 inches 

 high, with numerous scales, yellowish or tinged with pale brownish- 

 red. Corolla 1 to li inch long, yellowish or tinged with brownish- 

 purple or brownish-red. The flowers are said to have the scent of 

 cloves (but this I have never been able to perceive) ; they are less 

 erect, mox*e spreading and narrower in proportion, and less enlarged 

 towards the tube than in O. ltapum, with which it agrees in stature ; 

 the bracts are also shorter, very rarely exceeding the flowers. 



Clove-seen led Broom-rape. 



German, Nelkenduftende Sommenourz. 

 This species occurs on the roots of the bramble.

Flowers ascending-spreading. Bracts shorter than the flowers. 

 Sepals 2-cleft, about as long as the tube of the corolla ; upper 

 segment with 3 conspicuous veins. Corolla sparingly pubescent 

 with gland-tipped hairs ; tube rather widely cylindrical curved, 

 with the curvature greatest about the middle ; upper lip deeply 

 notched, with the margins inflexed-erect ; lower lip 3-lobed, with 

 the lobes nearly equal, all crimped and sharply denticulate. 

 Stamens inserted a little above the base of the corolla ; filaments 

 hairy on the inner side towards the base, their upper part and the 

 whole of the style sub-glabrous. Stigma of 2 contiguous lobes, 

 yellow. 



Parasitical on the roots of Centaurea scabiosa, Scabiosa arvensis, 

 and Carduus lanccolatus ? Bare, but widely distributed over 

 England as far North as Yorkshire and Durham, but apparently 

 partial to the East side of the island.
