Antirrhinun. | LVI. SCROPHULARINEZ. 327 
1, A. majus, Linn. (fig. 732). Great S.—Stem perennial at the base, 
forming a leafy tuft ; the flowering branches erect, 1 to 2 feet high, 
glabrous or slightly downy, often branched. Leaves narrow-lanceolate 
or linear, entire. Flowers large, purplish-red (or, in gardens, white or 
variegated). Segments of the calyx broad and obtuse, not above 3 lines 
long. Corolla above an inch long, the so-called palate opening when 
the tube is pressed laterally between the finger and thumb, whence the 
popular name. 
In clefts of rocks, old walls, and stony places, in the Mediterranean 
region, but being much cultivated in gardens, it has become naturalised 
much farther north, and is frequently found on old walls in England 
and Ireland. Fl. summer and autumn. 
2, A.Orontium, Linn. (fig. 733). Lesser S.—An erect annual, seldom 
above a foot high, much more slender than A, majus, with narrower 
leaves. Flowers scarcely 6 lines long, mostly in the axils of the upper 
leaves ; the narrow, unequal segments of the calyx as long as or longer 
than the corolla. 
Apparently indigenous in southern Europe, and widely spread as a 
weed of cultivation over the greater part of Europe and central Asia, 
and carried out to other countries. In Britain, it extends over England 
and southern Ireland. Fl. swimmer.

III. LINARIA. LINARIA. 
This genus only differs from Antirrhinum in the tube of the corolla, 
which is projected at the base into a conical or cylindrical spur. The 
species are more numerous, and the geographical range rather wider, 
but still the greater number are from southern and eppecially south- 
western Hurope. 
Stems erect or ascending. Leaves linear, oblong or rarely 
ovate, entire. 
Flowers yellow. 
Stems 1 to 3 feet high, erect from the base . 
Stems scarcely 6 inches high, diffuse at the base 
Flowers blue or purplish or striped.

L. purpurea, a tall Italian species, with narrow eee and a long 
raceme of small purple flowers, has become almost naturalised in the 
south of the Isle of Wight, and several other species, suchas ZL. triphylla 
and bipartita, cultivated in our flower-gardens, will occasionally sow 
themselves in the vicinity, but soon disappear.
