This Species of Antirrhinum is fo perfectly diftinct from all the others which grow wild in this country, 

 that there is no poffibility of mifiaking it. It is found in great plenty in all thofe parts near London, that lay 

 within the reach of the Thames ; the feeds are carried by the flux and reflux of the tide up and down the. 

 river, and left at high water mark in the crevices- of old walls, where they take root and eucreafe very faft. 

 It is fuppofed to have been introduced to us from Italy, whether for the purpofes of ornament or medicine is uncertain. 



The Walls of the Phyfic Garden, at Chelfea, from whence it has probably originated in this country, are 

 plentifully covered with it ; it may alfo be found on the 'Temple Walls, and at the fides of the ftream running 

 under Vauxhall Turnpike. 



In fome fituations the leaves grow much larger than thofe of the annexed fpecimen.
