5. Ij, septum Allm. (Hedge T.); creeping, stems erect glabrous, 

 leaves linear-lanceolate acute scattered, flowers racemose, sepals 

 ovate acute glabrous shorter than the spur and about as long 

 as the capsule, seeds tubercular scabrous with three winp;s, 

 Bab. in Ann, Nat. Hist, xiv. (2d ser.), p. 409, 



Near the river at Bandon, Cork. 1^. — With this we are not ac- 

 quainted, and take our character from the above work. The spur and 

 gray upper lip of the corolla is streaked with pale purple lines. Ta 

 us it appears to be intermediate or a fertile hybrid between the last and 

 next species ; the present " total absence of L. vulgaris from the 

 neifijhbourhood" does not of itself establish its claims to specific 

 distinction, 



6. L. vulgaris Moench (yellow T.) ; glabrous, leaves Imear- 

 lanceolate scattered crowded, flowers racemose imbricated, sepals 

 ovate acute glabrous shorter than the capsule or spur, seeds 

 tubercular-scabrous surrounded by a smooth wing, stems erect. 

 Antirrhinum Linaria L, : JE. B. t. 658. 



Borders of corn-fields, and in hedges, abundant. 1/.. 7 — 10. — 

 One to two feet high, glaucous. Flowers large, yellow, Rachls and 

 peduncles usually glandular-hairy, sometimes glabrous. Dr. Bromfield 

 found a variety with broad leaves in the Isle of Wight, which appears 

 to be the L, speciosa Ten. A remarkable but not very uncommon 

 monstrosity is the " Feloria var,^' (figured in E. B. t. 260), having 

 5 spurs and 5 usually imperfect stamens. 



7. L. Pelisseridna D C. (upright purple T.} ; glabrous erect, 

 leaves linear upper ones alternate, lower ones verticillate, those 

 of the sterile shoots ternate and broader, flowers at first in 

 short racemes, pedicels as long as the bracteas, sepals linear 

 acute twice as long as the capsule much shorter than the spur 

 of the corolla, seeds nearly flat surrounded by a fringed wing,, 

 tuberculate on one side, smooth on the other. E. B. S. t. 2832. 



On a hill-side, growing amongst Ulex Europceus, between St, Peter's 

 barracks and a water-mill near St. Ouen's Pond, Jersey. 0, 6. 

 — Flowering -stems 6 inches to 1 foot high, nearly simple, one or more 

 from each root. Floivers purple, with dark veins. The seeds are a 

 beautiful microscopic object. 



8. L. "^ supina Desf. (diffuse T,) ; diffuse or ascending with the 

 inflorescence glandular-hairy but otherwise glabrous, leaves 

 linear blunt, upper ones alternate, lower verticillatej sepals linear 

 or linear-spathulate shorter than the capsule or spur about as^ 

 long as the corolla, seeds nearly flat surrounded by a striate 

 wing.— Antirrhinum Z. ; L. maritima D C. L. Pyrenaica D C. 



Near Plymouth, Devon, and Poole, Dorset (supposed to have been 

 brought with ballast from Rouen). Newcastle upon Tyne (among 

 ballast), Hayle and St. Blaize bay, Cornwall (perhaps also intro- 

 duced). If.. 7j 8. — Stem much branched at the base, only a few
