The Antirrhinum fpurium bears fo great an affinity in its habit and fructifications (vid. fig. 1, 2, 3.) to the 

 Elatine, that it would be fuperflnous to defcribe it minutely ; it is fufficiently diftinguifhed from that plant by its 

 leaves alone, which in this fpecies are always round, in that haftate, at leaft thofe of the ftalk, for in both fpecies 

 the leaves next the root are roundifh and generally indented ; of the two the fpurium is the largeft plant. 



Although Linn^us has given it the name of fpurium, there is no reafon to fuppofe it the fpurious offspring 

 of the Elatine, as the two plants generally grow feparate. About Alton, in Hampfhire, the fpurium abounds in many 

 corn fields, without the leaft mixture of the Elatine ; and about Coomb-wood, in Surry, the Elatine may be found in 

 plenty, without the leaft traces of the fpurium : while in fome counties they grow promifcuoufly in the fame field. 



The round-leaved is by far the fcarceft plant near town ; I found it laft July tolerably plentiful and in bloflom, 

 in a corn field betwixt Beckenham and Shirley Common.
