England ; from York and Durham southward ; not indigenous in Scot- = 
land or Ireland. Fl. summer and autumn. 
1. L. nemorum, Linn. (fig. 657). Wood Z.—A procumbent plant, 
with the habit and rotate corolla of Anagallis arvensis, but with the 
yellow flowers and the capsule of a Lysimachia. Stem slender, often 
rooting at the base, 6 inches to a foot long. Leaves opposite, broadly 
ovate, on short stalks. Pedicels slender, axillary, rather longer than 
the leaves, each with a single, rather small flower. Calyx-segments 
natrow and pointed. Corolla rotate, of a bright yellow. Stamens quite 
free, with slender filaments. As the capsule ripens, the pedicels roll 
round, as in Anagallis arvensis. | 
In woods and shady places, not uncommon in western Europe, 
extending far northward in Scandinavia, and eastward through central 
Kurope to Transylvania. Generally distributed over Britain. FV. all

V. TRIENTALIS. TRIENTALE. 
A single species only ‘distinguished from Lysimachia by a some- 
what different habit, and by the parts of the flower being usually 
in sevens instead of in fives, although these numbers are not quite 
constant. 
1. T. europea, Linn. (fig. 658). Trientale.—Rootstock perennial 
and slightly creeping. Stems erect, simple, 3 to 6 inches high, bear- 
ing at the top a tuft or irregular whorl of 5 or 6 leaves, varying 
from obovate to lanceolate, usually pointed, the largest near 2 inches 
long, with 2 or 3 small alternate leaves below the whorl. From 
the centre of the leaves arise from 1 to 4 slender pedicels, about 
as long as the leaves, each terminated by a single flower, white or pale 
pink, with a yellow ring, rather larger than in Lysimachia nemorum. 
Calyx-segments narrow. Corolla rotate. Stamens with slender fila- 
ments, and short, recurved anthers. 
In. woods, in northern and Arctic Europe, Asia, and America, re- 
appearing here and there in mountain woods of central Europe. Local 
in the Scotch Highlands, more rare in the north of England, and un- 
known in Ireland. Fl. early summer.

VI. GLAUX. GLAUX. 
A single species, distinguished from all Primulacee by the absence of 
any real corolla, the coloured campanulate calyx assuming the appear- 
ance of one, the stamens alternating with its lobes. Capsule opening in 
2 or 4 valves. 
1. G. maritima, Linn. (fig. 659). Sea Milkwort, Black Saltwort.— 
A low, decumbent, branching perennial, glabrous and often slightly 
succulent, from 3 to 4 or 5, rarely 6 inches high, with a more or less — 
creeping rootstock. Leaves small, mostly opposite, sessile, ovate, 
oblong or almost linear, and entire. Flowers of a pale pink colour, | 
not 2 lines long. Calyx deeply 5-lobed. Stamens about the same 
length, with slender filaments and small anthers. _. ; )
