of Linn., and L. rugosum of Aiton, with L. album : we do not find 
the characters taken from the calyx, and ring of hairs within the 
corolla pointed out by some, to be constant. 
2. L. purpureum L. ( red D.); leaves cordate crenate all 
stalked, upper ones crowded, teeth of the calyx as long as the 
tube always spreading, tube of the corolla straight having 
a hairy ring within, the throat much dilated, lateral lobes of 
the lower lip with two short teeth. E. B. t. 769. 
Borders of fields and in hedges, plentiful. ©. 4 — 10. — Leaves, 
especially the upper ones, with a silky hairiness, and a purplish tinge 
on the floral ones. 
3. L. inctsum Willd. ( cut-leaved D.) ; leaves broadly cordate 
or deltoid-cuneate deeply inciso-crenate all stalked, the upper- 
most crowded, teeth of the calyx subulate about as long as 
the tube always spreading, tube of the corolla straight naked 
within, lateral lobes of the lower lip with a short tooth. E. B. 
t. 1933. 
Cultivated and waste ground, growing very large in the Hebrides. 
©. 4 — 6. — Very difficult to be distinguished by characters either 
from the last or the next species, and perhaps the three might be 
judiciously combined. 
4. L. inter mediumYv\es (intermediate I).) ; leavesobtuse inciso- 
crenate, lower ones stalked, upper reniform-cordate, floral ones 
sessile rather crowded, teeth of the calyx subulate longer than 
the tube always spreading, tube of the corolla straight naked 
within, lateral lobes of the lower lip with a short tooth. 
E. B. S. t. 2914. 
Newport, Isle of Wight ; Shropshire. Not uncommon in Scot- 
land. Sligo, Ireland. ©. 6 — 9. — Calyx spreading, as in the two 
last, different, even in the herbarium, from that of the next species, 
to which however Mr. Bentham unites it: more probably, as appears 
to us, it is a variety of L. incisum. 
5. L. amplexicaule L. ( Henbit D .) ; leaves orbicular wrinkled 
inciso-crenate, the floral ones sessile becoming distant by the 
lengthening of the stem, teeth of the calyx lanceolate-subulate 
about as long as the tube, connivent after flowering, tube of the 
corolla straight naked within, tooth of the lateral lobes of the 
lower lip obsolete. E. B. t. 770. 
Waste places, sandy fields and gardens. ©. 4 — 8. — Corolla of 
a fine deep rose-colour, with a very slender tube, often small and 
abortive although the achenes ripen. 
13. Betonica Linn. Betony. 
Cal. ovate, 10-ribbed ; teeth 5, equal, awned. Cor. with the 
tube exserted, cylindrical: upper lip ascending; lower one
