SCROPHULARIA. L. 
(S. vernalis, Z., has been quoted as an Oxford plant on faith of the 
following reference—‘ Scrophularia flore luteo Brownewort with yellow 
flower. In Oxfordshire.’ This has never been confirmed. It was either 
an escape from cultivation or Bobart’s variety of nodosa. 
Berks. Near Bucklebury in great plenty, Mr. Shefield, MSS.]

First record, ‘ Scroph. major. Great Figwort. The Great Scroph. groweth 
plentifully in shadowie woods . . . and also in Stowe wood, and Shotover 
neere Oxford.” Ger. 1597, p. 579; do. in Ger. an. Coles’ Adam in Eden, 
etc, 
Berks. Ray, ii. p. 161. Scrophularia major, caulibus, foliis et floribus 
viridibus, D. Bobart. ‘Found near Cumner. Common Figwort is 
called Brownwort from its remarkable brown colour. This has 
nothing of brownness in it.’ Archbishop Whately refound this in 
1830, and specimens were put in the Botanic Garden, where they 
remained unchanged by cultivation, Baxter, 1835. This form was 
erroneously referred to S. Hrharti in Sm. Eng. Fl. Specimens in 
Herb. Morison, probably Morison’s own, and in Hb. Dubois show 
that it is an abnormal form of nodosa, which Mr. R. C. Pryor, in 
Journ. Bot. vol. v, suggested should be known as S. nodosa, var. 
Bobarti.
