 Sir. Bentliam unites this to the next; and the only dIfFerenee is iu 

 the form of tiie teeth of the cali/x. The present is never, we believe 

 found in corn-fields, while genuine specimens of tlie other are almost 

 confined to them or gardens; hut 31. gentiUs L. has the calyx and- 

 large upper leaves of M. crveasis, while it is almost glabrous like 

 M. rubra Sm., and grows in wet places, thus seeming to connect the 

 two. 



7. ]\L arveusis L. (Corn M.) ; leaves stalked ovate or ellip- 

 tical sometimes cordate at the base serrate, upper ones similar 

 and equally large all longer than the distant whorls, calyx 

 campannlate, its teeth triangular acute about as broad as lono-/ 

 — a. hairy, leaves narrowed at the base, calyx clothed all over 

 with spreading hairs. E. B, t. 2119. — ^8. hairy, leaves some- 

 what cordate rugose, calyx clothed all over with spreadiuf? 

 hairs. ^ '^ . ^ — ~~

^ a. Corn-fields, common — j8. corn-fields and neglected gardens; 

 Somersetshire; plentiful in Sussex. — 7. watery places, rare. Holt 

 in Norfolk; Somersetshire; river-side above Warrington. N. Wales. 

 %\ S, 9 — The smeil of the common variety has been compared to 



that of decayed cheese. 



W Leaves nearly sessile. 



8. M. ^pratensis Sole (iiarroio -leaved M.) ; leaver nearly 

 sessile ovate-lanceolate acute serrate, upper ones similar all 

 longer than the distant subglobose v/horls, calyx campanulate, 

 lower part and pedicels glabrous, teeth triangular acute hairy. 

 M. o-entilis Sole : E. B. t. 449. ' 



M. gracilis Sm. 



Watery places in moist meadows (Sm). 2{. . 8, 9. — Ste^yi and 

 leaves usually glabrous. Leaves paler l)eneath and the cali/x glanduhir. 

 With this we are not acquainted. Sole doubts if it be indigenous.' 

 Mr. Bentham remarks that it is intermediate between ]\f, mridis and 

 M. saliva var. /3., having the inflorescence of the present section and 

 the nearly sessile leaves of ill viridis. 



*** Throat of the calyx closed icith hairs. Flowerh in axillary distant 



whcrls, none among the uppermost leaves. 



9. M. PuUgium L. (Pennyroyal); flowers whorled, leaves 

 ovate downy obtuse subcrenate, stem prostrate, flower-stalks 

 sliglitly and calyx very pubescent, teeth of the latter fringed.
