Anther-cells obtuse.

These British genera belong to two of the three principal Tribes or 
Suborders of the family, viz :— 
Tribe Antirrhinee. Upper lip or outer lobe of the corolla onesie the others in 
the bud. Genera:—1. VERBASCUM; 2. ANTIRRHINUM ; 3. LINARIA; 4. SCROPHU- 
LARIA; and 5. MIMULUS. 
Tribe Rhinanthee. Upper lip or upper lobe of the corolla wholly or partially 
inside the others in the bud. Genera :—-6. LIMOSELLA; 7. SIBTHORPIA; 8. DIGI- 
TALIS; 9. VERONICA; 10. BARTSIA; 11. EUPHRASIA ; 12. RHINANTHUS ; "13. PEDI- 
CULARIS ; and 14. MELAMPYRUM. 
Among the exotic genera cultivated in our gardens may be mentioned, 
Browallia, Brunsfelsia, Salpiglossis, and Schizanthus, belonging to the 
wholly exotic tribe Salpiglossidee, now generally transferred to Solanacee ; 
and Calceolaria, Alonsoa, Angelonia, Maurandia, Lophospermum, Pau- 
lownia, Collinsia, Pentstemon, Torenia, and several others of the tribe 
Antirrhinee. The exotic genera of Rhinanthee, with the exception of a 
few allied to Veronica and Digitalis, are mostly parasitical, and there- 
fore, although very handsome, not in cultivation. The south-west 
European Lrinus alpinus, allied to Veronica, but with a 5-lobed corolla 
with a slender tube, is established as an escape from gardens, on old 
walls, especially on the Roman Wall, on the borders of Yorkshire and 
Lancashire. 
I. VERBASCUM. MULLEIN. 
Tall, erect, stiff herbs, often woolly ; with coarse, alternate leaves, 
more or less toothed; and yellow, white, or rarely purple flowers, 
either solitary under each bract or in short dense cymes or branches, 
forming terminal, simple spikes or branched panicles. Calyx deeply 
5-cleft. Corolla rotate, or concave, with a very short tube, and 5 broad, 
rounded lobes. Stamens 5, with all the filaments woolly or the two 
lower ones glabrous. Capsule ovoid, opening at the partition in 2 
valves, with very numerous small seeds. 
The genus extends over Europe and northern and central Asia, but is 
most abundant in the Mediterranean region, where the species vary 
much, besides frequently producing natural hybrids, so that their 
distinction has become very complicated. [In the case of the British 
species, V. nigrum hybridises with Thapsus, pulverulentum, and Lychnitis, 
and V. Vhapsus with Lychnitis. | 
Leaves decurrent on the stem, ve wea Flowers in a 
dense, simple spike i . Ll. V. Thapsus. 
Leaves not decurrent, or the upper ones very slightly so. 
Flowers in a raceme or panicle. 
Plant glabrous or slightly glandular-hairy. Two stamens 
longer than the others, with long anthers. Flowers
