slender, with halberd-shaped, usually smaller, leaves. The 

 flowers also are smaller and less conspicuous, with similar but 

 paler colours. They have moreover an abortive s<ame«, and are 

 occasionally regularly five-cleft. The capsule is like the last. 

 Seeds much wrinkled. 



** Leaves narrower. Stems upright.

Near Penryn, Cornwall. Ray. F. Borone. Abundantly by the road- 

 side between Llandovery and Trecastle, South Wales. Rev. T. 

 Butt. In an old slate quarry, near Bandon, County of Cork. 

 Mr. J. T. Mackay. On the chalk hill going down to Henley- 

 upon-Thames, where it was observed in the time of Dillenius, 

 plentifully. 



Perennial. July — September. 



Root whitish, creeping extensively. Herb smooth and glaucous. 

 Stems numerous, erect, round, branched and panicled, leafy. 

 Leaves linear, or somewhat lanceolate, entire, an inch long, or 

 more, erect, often 4 or 5 in a whorl, but as frequently opposite, 

 or scattered ; the upper ones mostly alternate. Fl. numerous, 

 in panicled upright clusters, with a small leafy bractea under 

 each partial stalk. They are certainly sweet-scented, as Vaillant 

 asserts, though he uses the definition of Tournefort, which says 

 otherwise. Cal. with smooth lanceolate segments. Spur coni- 

 cal, very pale grey, as well as the lower lip ; palate yellow ; 

 upper lip and tube striped with blue. Caps, globose, opening by 

 several lanceolate equal valves. Seeds angular, rugged, black.

 nor can I perceive how any doubt could arise respecting John 

 Bauhin's synonym, nor how Ray came to describe so distinct a 

 species twice over. Linnaeus was led into the same error by 

 him and Dillenius ; and the latter, by saying he had gathered
