LXII. SCROPHULARIACE^E. 
[. Digitalis . 
triangiflar with large double serratures, stem bluntly 4-angled, 
cymes lax few-flowered, bracteas leaf-like, sepals with a mem- 
branous margin, scale of upper lip roundish entire. E. B. 
t. 2209. 
Moist places, only in the extreme south-west of England, and at 
Tralee, in Ireland. Jersey. 2/.. 7. — Distinguished from all the 
preceding by being downy, and by its wrinkled leaves, which have 
large teeth, or serratures, and these are again serrate : it resembles 
S. Ehrharti in the leafy bracteas which accompany the panicle. 
Flowers dull purple. 
* * Calyx with 5 deep, acute segments. Cor. yellow ; the two upper seg- 
ments of the cor. about equal to the .two lateral ones ; scale of the 
upper lip wanting. 
5. S. *i 'emails L. ( yellow F.) ; hairy, leaves broadly cordate 
doubly inciso-serrate acute, cymes axillary corymbose, bracteas 
leafv, sepals without a membranous margin, stamens protruded. 
E. B. t. 567. 
Road-sides and waste places, in many parts of England and Scot- 
land, but nowhere general, and always in doubtfully wild situations. 
11. 4 — 6. — Very different from all the preceding, and, as Sir James 
E. Smith has well observed, exhibiting a great affinity with the pretty 
American genus Calceolaria. Styles and stamens, which latter arise 
from the base of the yellow corolla, protruded from its very contracted 
mouth. 
8. Digitalis Linn. Foxglove or Folks-glove. 
Cal. in 5 deep segments. Cor. campanulate, inflated be- 
neath; limb obliquely 4 — 5-lobed, unequal. Caps, ovate, 
2- celled, many-seeded, 2-valved, septicidal. — Name: digitale, 
the finger of a glove, which its flowers resemble. Hence fox- 
glove in English, and doigts de la Vierge, gants de Notre Dame, 
&c., in French ; meuran-nam-ban-sith in Gaelic. 
1. D. purpurea L. ( purple F.) ; sepals ovate-oblong acute 
3- nerved downy, corolla obtuse scabrous externally, upper lip 
scarcely divided, lower one with ovate rounded segments, learves 
ovato-lanceolate crenate or serrate downy. E. B. t. 1297. 
Dry banks, pastures, walls, &c., in hilly and especially in sub- 
alpine and rocky, countries ; almost unknown in the more eastern 
parts of England, such as Norfolk and Suffolk. 11. 5 — 8. — The 
most stately and beautiful of our herbaceous plants ; and one that 
has obtained great reputation as a medicine. Three to four feet high. 
Leaves large, veiny. Spikes very long, of numerous, drooping, purple 
(or rarely white) flowers, spotted within. Dr. Bromfield found a 
curious ear. with a spurred corolla in the Isle of Wight. 
9. Antirrhinum Linn. Snapdragon. 
Cal. 5-partite. Cor. personate, gibbous at the base (no 
evident spur) ; its mouth closed by a projecting palate. Caps.
