scions, and usually covered with short, soft hairs. Leaves oblong, 4 to 
1 inch long, coarsely toothed, usually narrowed at the base, but larger 
and cordate in luxuriant specimens, Flowers of a pale purplish-red, 
all axillary, turned to one side, in whorls of 6 or fewer, the pedicels 
very slender. Calyx small, with 5 nearly equal teeth. 
In wet, marshy places, generally dispersed over Europe and central 
and Russian Asia, except the extreme north. Rare in Britain, having 
been only found in a few English counties, chiefly eastern ; very rare 
in Ireland. Fl, summer. : 
3. T. Botrys, Linn. (fig. 817). Cut-leaved G.—An erect or decumbent 
branching annual of 6 to 9 inches, more or less pubescent. Leaves 
stalked, rhomboidal in outline, 4° to ? inch long, deeply divided into 
linear entire or lobed segments. Flowers of a purplish-red, all axillary, 
in whorls of 6 or fewer. Calyx broad, 3 to 4 lines long, very gibbous, 
almost saccate on the under side at the base, with 5 short lanceolate 
nearly equal lobes or teeth. 
In waste places and borders of fields, in central and southern Europe, 
from Spain to Silesia, extending northwards to Normandy, and in 
Britain found in a few localities in Surrey. Fl. summer. 
4. T. Chameedrys, Linn. (fig. 818). Wall G.—Stock perennial, 
almost woody; the stems rarely branched, ascending, hairy, 6 to 8 
inches high, Leaves ovate, deeply toothed, wedge-shaped at the base, 
green, and more or less hairy on both sides. Flowers reddish-purple, 
in whorls of 2 to 6, forming a short, rather loose, terminal, 1-sided 
raceme. Calyx loosely tubular, with 5 almost equal, pointed teeth. 
On stony banks, and old walls, over the greater part of central and 
southern Europe and western Asia, but not extending into Scandinavia. 
In Britain, it has been found only in a few localities, on old walls, 
having, although now well established, escaped from gardens; in Ireland 
it has been found in sandy fields, but very rarely. Fl. summer. 
XVIII. AJUGA. BUGLE. 
Low herbs, with purplish-blue or yellow flowers, in close whorls in the 
upper axils, often forming terminal leafy spikes ; the corolla withering 
but remaining attached after flowering. Oalyx 5-cleft. Corolla with a 
distinct tube ; the upper lip very short, erect, and entire or nearly so; 
the lower lip longer and spreading, as in Germander. Stamens in pairs, 
projecting beyond the upper lip or tooth of the corolla. Nuts rough 
or wrinkled. , 
A rather extensive genus, spread over Europe, Asia, Africa, and 
Australia, but unknown in America, differing from Germander in the 
tooth-like upper lip of the corolla, and still more in habit. 
Leaves entire, or coarsely toothed. Flowers blue or ash-coloured.

1. A. reptans, Linn. (fig. 819). Creeping B.—The whole plant is 
elabrous, or with a few hairs chiefly amongst the flowers. The short 
stock emits creeping scions and a tuft of radical leaves, which are 
obovate, 1 to 2 inches long, entire or broadly crenate, and narrowed
