authors is so variously valvular, or so irregularly jagged, 

 as to show that part to be indeterminate, or unfit to give 

 a character, in this genus ; the length of the spurs, be- • 

 ing, moreover, but comparative. I therefore concur with 

 those who do not separate Linaria, there being no dis- 

 tinction of habit to depend upon, and the name, formed 

 out of Linum^ being inadmissible.

On old walls, having been introduced from Italy. 



On walls bordering the Thames, having escaped, as Dillenius 

 thought, from Chelsea garden. It is become no less common 

 about Oxford and Cambridge, and within a few years at Nor- 

 wich. 



Perennial. May — November. 



Root fibrous. Stems trailing or pendulous, very much branched, 

 round, smooth, leafy, hanging from old walls in rich, dense, 

 flowery festoons. Leaves alternate, stalked, ivy-like, of a deep 

 shining green, often tinged with violet, and, like every other part 

 of the plant, quite smooth. Fl. solitary, on long axillary stalks, 

 not large, but very elegant, variegated with violet and blue ; their 

 palate yellow ; spur short, though pointed. Caps, roundish, much 

 and irregularly torn at the top, to let out the black wrinkled seeds. 



2. h..spurium. Round-leaved Fluellin, or Snapdragon. 



Leaves ovate, downy, chiefly alternate. Stems procum- 

 bent, hairy.
