 bee. In Mis. Vine's jrvminris at Puckaster ? [In a pasture-field at Niton, 1854, 

 G. Kirkpatrick, Esq., Edrs.] 



I have seen but a single though indubitable specimen of this very rare British 

 native in the herbarium of the lady on whose authority I insert it here, sent to her, 

 with some other wild plants, in a fresh state, from Appuldurcombe, and which on 

 inquiry was ascertained to have been gathered by a groom of Lord Yarborough's, 

 in the locality above mentioned, July, 1838, but where I have since sought for it 

 in vain. 



3. S. verbenaca, L. Wild English Clary. Leaves sinuate and 

 serrated, corolla narrower and scarcely longer than the calyx.

Root woody, tapering. Stems 1 or more, herbaceous, a foot or two in height, 

 erect or a little ascending and purplish at the base, obtusely quadrangular, hol- 

 low in the centre, rough with short spreading or deflexed pubescence, mixed near 

 the summit with glandulose and somewhat glutinous hairs, simple or branched, 

 the branches opposite, simple, erect, the inferior more or less leafy, the superior 

 reduced to mere (and excepting the bracts) leaBess racemes. Leaves of a rather 

 pale grayish green, wrinkled, slightly rough or scabrous only with minute bristly 

 hairs and asperities, paler beneath, with stout prominent ribs, and dotted with 

 close-set vesicular glands ; the radical and lowermost stem-leaves on very long, 

 flattened and slightly winged petioles, oblong or ovato-oblong, from about 3 to 5 

 inches in length by 2 or 3 inches in breadth, more or less cordate and unequal at 

 the base, usually obtuse and rounded, at other limes a little pointed, coarsely and 

 unequally crenate and serrate, more or less profoundly sinuate and incised-lobed, 

 sometimes even lyrate or pinnatifid, those at the root often nearly undivided ; 

 superior stem-leaves broadly ovate or ovato-rotundate, acute or shortly acuminate, 

 usually more sharply notched or cut than the others, quite sessile, clasping and 

 sometimes even connate by their broad cordate bases. Floioers in simple, erect, 

 terminal and axillary, constantly elongating racemes, of which that at the summit 

 is but a continuation of the stem, and with the two shorter ones at its base con- 

 stitutes a sort of ternate, leafless and virgate panicle. Whorls almost always 

 6-flowered, dimidiate, remote, when in seed from about an inch to an inch and a 

 half asunder. PeJ/cefa very short and hispid. jBracte sessile, very broadly cor- 

 date or rotundato-cordate, acuminate, deflexed, shorter than the whorls, mostly 

 entire, the lowermost sometimes a Utile notched, their points blackish. Calyx 

 a little deflexed in seed, about 3 or 4 lines in length, grayish green and purplish, 

 somewhat glutinou.s, hispid with simple and gland-tipped hairs, 2-lipped, with 14 

 prominent purple ribs ; the lips fringed with long white hairs ; upper lip tathev 

 shorter than the under, curved upwards, when viewed from above obovate and 

 deeply depressed anteriorly, with a sharp keel ending in the middle tooth of its 

 tridentate apex, the 2 lateral teeth connivent, minute ; lower lip a little ascending, 

 deeply bifid, the segments ovato-lanceolale, aristato-acuminate, 3-ribbed. Corolla
