SYNOPSIS OF THE HBMIMERIDB/E, A TRIBE OF SCROPHULARIACE®, 21 
Antirrhinum bicorne, Linn. —Thunb. 
FI. Cap. 482 
Has. Very common about the Cape, 
from whence it is frequently sent, and ex- 
tends northwards towards Heerenlogiment, 
in Clanwilliam, Drége. (v. s. 
Near N. versicolor, but taller, more 
branched, and more generally pubescent. 
Leaves always toothed. Readily known 
when in fruit, by its capsules, which have 
the shape of two nearly right angled trian- 
gles joined together by one of the sides of 
the right angle, the other side being a 
curved line, ending in a projecting point. 
The corolla is about the size of that of 
Linaria striata, and usually streaked in a 
similar manner, but with a much less pro- 
minent palate.

Has. Cape and Stellenbosch districts,

Ecklon, Drége, &c.; y. Zwarteland, Eck- 
lon; Algoa Bay, Forbes. (v. s.) 
Nearly allied to JW. versicolor and N. 
bicornis, with the habit of the former, but 
differing from both by the form of the cap- 
sule, which is longer than it is broad, con- 
tracted at the top, with the valves truncate. 
The variety 8. is usually lower and more 
branched, with a rather longer capsule. 
The variety y. has also rather broad leaves. 
The eleven preceding species differ 
chiefly from each other in the form of the 
corolla and of the capsule, but the former 
character is often difficult to observe in 
dried specimens, and the capsules are but 
too frequently wanting. There are, there- 
fore, many specimens in the Banksian and 
other Herbaria, as well as in the collections 
before me, that I am unable to determine 
with certainty, and it is probable that

amongst them there may still be several 
new species. 
15. N. cynanchifolia, ramosissima, dif- 
fusa, ramis foliosis pubescentibus, foliis 
petiolatis ovato-lanceolatis obtusis obscure 
sinuato-dentatis glabris, corollæ labio su- 
periore trifido lacinia intermedia breviter 
bifida omnibus obtusissimis labio inferiore 
vix longioribus, calcare recto labio inferi- 
ore parum breviore, palato glabriusculo. 
Has. Rocks of the Sneeuwebergen, 
Drége. (v. s.) 
In habit comes near N. affinis B, but the 
leaves are all petiolate, the lower floral 
ones often similar to those of the stem, 
the divisions of the corolla broader, the 
two upper ones connected together beyond 
the middle. I have not seen the capsule. 
16. N. viscosa (E. Mey. MSS.), ramo- 
sissima, viscoso-pubescens, foliis brevissi- 
me petiolatis ovato-lanceolatis acutis inte- 
gerrimis, corolle laciniis 4 superioribus 
ovatis obtusissimis labio inferiore vix lon- 
gioribus, calcare recto labio inferiore bre- 
viore, palato glabriusculo. 
AB. At Verleptpraam and on the Ga- 
riep, Drége. (v. s.) 
A low branching plant, with much of the 
habit of N. cynanchifolia. Sepals lanceo- 
late, very sharp. Corolla smaller than in 
the last species. Capsule five lines long, 
three broad, scarcely narrowed at the top, 
with two very short horns. 
17. N. linearis (Vent. Jard. Malm. sub. 
t. 41.), perennis vel suffruticosa, glabra, 
ramis adscendentibus, foliis lineari-lanceo- 
latis integerrimis pauci-dentatisque, corolla 
labiis subequalibus, superioris laciniis bre- 
vibus obtusis, calcare recto labiis breviore, 
palato villoso, capsule valvulis apice rectis.

The capsule varies in length and bred 
and is either narrowed or at 
top, but is never two-horned, and the ES 
are always rounded at the top.
