These British genera belong to two of the three principal Tribes or Sub- 

 orders of the family, viz. : — 



Tribe AntirrhinecB, Upper lip or outer lobe of the corolla outside the others in the 

 bud. Genera: — 1. Mitllein; 2. Snapdeagon ; 3. Likaeia; 4. Sceophulaeia ; and 

 5. MiitnLus. 



Tribe Ehinanihece. Upper lip or upper lobe of the corolla wholly or partially inside 

 the others in the bud. Genera:— 6. LiMOSEi, ; 7. Sibthobpia ; 8. Foxglovk ; 9. 

 Tehonica ; 10. Baetsia ; 11. EyEBEiGHi ; 12. Eattle ; 13. Pediculaeis ; and l-l. 

 Melamptee. 



Among the exotic genera cultivated in our gardens may be mentioned, 

 Srotvallia, Brnn.sfehia, Salpiglossis, and Schizanthus, belonging to the 

 wholly exotic tribe Salpiglossidea ; and Calceolaria, Alonsoa, Angelonia, 

 Maurandia, Lophospermwn, Paulownia, Collinsia, Petistemon, Torenia, and 

 several others of the tribe Antirrhinea. The exotic genera of Rhinanthea, 

 with the exception of a few aUied to Veronica and Foxglove, are mostly 

 parasitical, and therefore, although very handsome, not iit cultivation. 



I. MVIjIiEIN. verbascum. 



Tail, erect, stiff herbs, often woolly ; with coarse, alternate leaves, more 

 or less toothed ; and yellow, white, or rarely purple flowers, either solitary 

 under each bract or in short dense cymes or branches, forming terminal, 

 simple spikes or branched panicles. Calyx deeply 5-cleft. Corolla rotate 

 or concave, with a very short tube, and 5 broad, rounded lobes. Stamens 

 5, with all the filaments woolly or the two lower ones glabrous. Capsule 

 ovoid, opening at the partition in 2 valves, with very numerous small seeds. 



The genus extends over Europe and northern and central Asia, but is 

 most abundant in the Mediterranean region, where the species vary much, 

 besides frequently producing natural hybrids, so that their distinction has 

 become very compUcated. The few British species are however more easily 

 recognized. 



Leaves decurrent on the stem, very woolly. Flowers in a dense, simple 



spike 1. Great M, 



Leaves not decurrent or the upper ones very slightly so. Flowers in a 

 raceme or panicle. 

 Plant glabrous or shghtly glandular-hairy. Two stamens longer than 

 the others, with long anthers. Flowers large, one or few to each 

 bract. (Eaceme usually simple.) 



Pedicels mostly longer than the calyx 2. Moth M. 



Pedicels shortei? than the calyx .,.•,■•. 3. Tvoiygy M.
