Scrophularinee—L inaria. 339 
L. spiria and L. Eldtine are the two annual species fre- 
quently found in cornfields.) They are both small-flowered ; 
the-former erect with ovate or rounded leaves, the latter pro- 
strate with hastate acute leaves. 
7. ANTIRRHINUM. 
This small genus is very near the 
last, differing mainly in the tube of 
the personate corolla being saccate, 
not spurred at the base, and the throat 
closed by the bearded palate. The 
species are found in the same regions. 
The name is a compound of dvr, in 
comparison, and fiv,a snout, in allu- 
sion to the resemblance in the corolla 
to the face of an animal. 
1. A. mdjus (fig. 186). Snap- 
dragon.—This familiar perennial has 
been so long in cultivation that it has 
escaped in numerous localities, and 
may now be found on old ruins, walls, 
chalk cliffs, railway banks, etc., and 
often in great profusion. The varie- 
ties in cultivation are numerous and 
handsome, including pure white, yellow, i Fe 
orange, rosy red, purple, and violet, and — 
others striped or spotted in two or i 
more colours. It is a native of the sf oR "4 = 
Mediterranean region. 
A. Oréntium is an indigenous 
dwarf annual with small rosy-purple 
flowers remarkable for the long narrow 
sepals which exceed the corolla.
