solitary with creeping scions, leaves ovate or obovate sinuate or 
quite entire. E. B. t. 489. A. alpina E. B. t. 477.? 
Moist pastures and woods abundant. 2/.. 5, 6 Leaves broadly 
ovate, more or less crenate, lower ones and those on the scions tapering 
into a foot-stalk. Flowering-stem erect, with sessile leaves. Flowers 
blue (sometimes white or flesh-coloured), in whorls of 6 — 20 from 
the axils of the upper leaves or bructeas, which are often purplish. 
What the true A. alpina of Linnasus is, is not easily determined. 
Smith, on the authority of the Lintuean herbarium, asserts that it has 
no scions, and considers that A. Genevensis L. is probably the same. 
Fries states that it has scions when specimens are perfect, and that 
the lower floral leaves are lobed ; so that it appears to be only a slight 
variety of A. reptans. Mr. Bentham refers the British species to A. 
reptans, but unites A. pyramidalis to A. Genevensis. The stations 
usually assigned to A. alpina are: “mountains of Aberdeenshire, not 
uncommon;” Carnedd-Llywelyn, in Caernarvonshire; Castleton, 
Derbyshire ; County of Durham ; and Cave-hill, Belfast. The 
Scotch ones have all proved to be A. reptans : the Durham locality is 
denied by Winch; the Welsh one is very doubtful, and no species 
without scions can be found on Cave-hill, nor in any Belfast herba- 
rium by Professor G. Dickie. 
2. A. pyramidalis L. ( pyramidal B .); hairy or glabrous, 
upper or all the whorls spieate, scions none, radical leaves ob- 
long-ovate large more or less crenate, floral leaves broadly 
ovate quite entire or obscurely sinuate longer than the flowers 
and crowded into a pyramidal and tetragonal form, upper ones 
usually coloured. E. B. t. 1270. 
Highland pastures, rare. Ben Nevis ; plentiful at the Burn of Kil- 
ligower and on the Ord of Caithness; Tor Aichaltie, near Brahan 
Castle, Ross-shire ; Appin ; Strath Erric, Inverness-shire ; Isle of 
Lewis; Orkney. S. Isles of Arran, Ireland. 2). 5, 6. — Stem 4 — 0 
inches high. Leaves gradually becoming smaller from the base 
upwards. 
3. A. C ham a' pity s Sm. ( Ground-Pine , or yellow B .) ; hairy, 
steins much branched spreading, leaves tripartite their seg- 
ments linear entire, floral leaves similar longer than the axillary 
solitary flowers. E. B. t. 77. Teucrium L. 
Sandy or gravelly fields. Not unfrequent in Kent and Surrey) 
Tiiplow Heath, Cambridgeshire ; Purfleet, Essex. ©. 4 — 10. — 
Very different in habit from the preceding species. Flowers yellow, 
spotted with red, and nestled among the narrow segments of the leaves, 
of which the lowermost aie much broader. Stem reddish-purple, 
glutinous.
