214 FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 
sometimes a yard high. Y° leaves are not set confusedly on y® stalk as in 
y®? common, but in bundles at distances, y® stalks are brittle, much 
branched towards y® top, and y® flowers stand not thick clustering 
together, but more sparsed and at greater intervals, and are of a pale 
blew streaked all along keel with a deeper .... y® lower lip at y® gapeing 
is spotted with yellow, an exact description of ye Henley one.’ 
The foregoing description by Dillenius is not remarkable for lucidity 
and elegance, and the form it refers to is by no means uncommon, the 
barren stem frequently having verticillate leaves (see E. B. plate), but the 
Honeysuckle odour I have failed to perceive. 
The colour of the flowers is said in the Student’s Flora to be violet, in 
Bab. Man. white with blue veins, and in Syme, E. B., white with purple 
veins, the palate with a yellow spot. The colouring of the plate does not 
bear out the description, some reminiscence of alpina being apparently 
present in the mind of the colourist. 
The colour of the flowers is indeed very variable, more frequently it is 
as Babington describes it, but forms occur with dark purple flowers 
without striations, with violet blue flowers on which striations can be 
seen ; white flowers with yellow palate and strize nearly absent; and a 
very beautiful form with coral pink flowers and few striations, these all 
had the typical shape of repens.

L. repenti-vulgaris. 
Several hybrids between vulgaris and repens have been found. One, 
near Goring, had the flowers only slightly larger than repens, but the 
colouring was as it is in vulgaris, the spur was as in repens ; altogether the 
repens parentage was much the stronger. Another near Wallingford had 
the spur of vulgaris, with larger flowers than typical repens, and the 
flowers distinctly striate. A third from arable ground near Goring had 
flowers half an inch long, spurs more than a quarter of an inch, flowers striate 
but with orange palate and pale yellow under lip—this may be identical with 
the Irish plant named sepiwm by Prof. Allman. This latter form occurred 
also at Lowbury in a turnip field.
