siccus of Buddle,* which forms part of the treasures of the British

the green Scrophularia is a form or variety of S. nodosa

nodosa, purest rather more luxuriant than usual; the bracts, on the 
other hand, although variable, for the most part smaller than in the 
typical plant ; the stem is altogether that of nodosa. The panicle is 
large and well furnished ; the calyx entirely green, with barely a 
trace of the usual scarious margin, and divided almost to the aay into
