** Stems erect) ascending or diffuse. 
4. Li. repens Ait. ( creeping pale-blue T.) ; glabrous, leaves 
linear whorled or scattered, flowers racemose, sepals lanceolate 
glabrous the length of the spur but shorter than the capsule, 
seeds angular transversely wrinkled, stems erect. Antirrhinum 
L. : E. B. t. 1253. L. striata D C. 
Chalky banks and rocky places near the sea, rare ; principally in 
the south of England, South Wales, and Ireland. Naturalized near 
Culzean, Ayrshire, and Musselburgh ; Scotland. t£. 7 — 9 Stems 
1 to I j foot high, slender, branched. Leaves somewhat whorled below, 
but there soon dying away. Flowers in panicled racemes, whitish or 
pale violet, with darker violet lines; palate yellow. — Between this 
and the next species hybrids are occasionally formed in Hants and 
Cornwall : those which have the seeds of the next, yellow flowers, 
and intermediate sepals, have been called L. Bauhini and L. Italica 
by British collectors. The true L. Italica is itself connected with 
L. repens by several intermediate forms. L. sepium Alim., which 
we admitted in the 7th edition with hesitation, proves to be, as we 
suspected, another hybrid; it was found near the river Bandon, Cork ; 
the spur and gray upper lip of the corolla are streaked with pale purple 
lines ; seeds tubercular scabrous, with three wings. 
5. L. vulgaris Mcenck ( yellow T. ); glabrous, leaves linear- 
lanceolate scattered crowded, flowers racemose imbricate, sepals 
ovate acute glabrous shorter than the capsule or spur, seeds 
tubercular-scabrous surrounded by a smooth wing, stems erect. 
Antirrhinum Linaria L.: E. B. t. 658. 
Borders of corn-fields, and in hedges, abundant. 21. 7 — 10. — 
One to two feet high, glaucous. Flowers large, yellow. Rachis and 
peduncles usually glandular-hairy, sometimes glabrous. Dr. Brumfield 
found a variety with broad leaves in the Isle of Wight, which appears 
to be the L. speciosa Ten. A remarkable but not very uncommon 
monstrosity is the “ Peloria var." (figured in E. B. t. 260), having 
5 spurs and 5 usually imperfect stamens. 
6. L. Pelisseriuna D C. ( upright purple T.) ; glabrous erect, 
leaves linear upper ones alternate, lower ones verticillate, those 
of the sterile shoots ternate and broader, flowers at first in 
short racemes, pedicels as long as the bracteas, sepals linear 
acute twice as long as the capsule much shorter than the spur 
of the corolla, seeds nearly flat surrounded by a fringed wing, 
tubercular on one side, smooth on the other. E. B. S. t. 2832. 
On a hill-side, growing amongst Flex Europaus, between St. Peter’s 
barracks and a water-mill near St. Ouen’s Pond, Jersey. ©. 6. 
— Flowering-stems 6 inches to 1 foot high, nearly simple, one or more 
from each root. Flowers purple, with dark veins. The seeds form 
a beautiful microscopic object. 
7. L. * sitpina Desf. ( diffuse T .) ; diffuse or ascending with the 
inflorescence glandular-hairy but otherwise glabrous, leaves
