SCR0P11ULARIACE.E. 125 
In shady lanes and moist places. Rare. Cornwall, Devon, 
and Tralee, co. Kerry ; plentiful in Jersey and Guernsey. 
England, Ireland. Perennial. Summer and Autumn. 
Stem 18 inches to 4 feet high, nearly round, with 4 slightly 
elevated lines. Leaves 2 to G inches long, sometimes with the 
margins almost lobed, at other times only doubly crenate or 
crenate-serrate, finely hairy on both sides, especially beneath. 
Flowers \ inch long, resembling those of S. aquatica, but the 
upper lip is 2-partite, being divided to the base instead of only to 
the middle. In the general habit and inflorescence it bears some 
resemblance to S. Ehrharti : the capsule, though it is not gradually 
tapering, but suddenly acuminated, could scarcely be called obtuse 
and apiculate, as in that species. The shape of the leaves differs 
from that of all the other species, though they sometimes bear 
a slight resemblance to those of S. nodosa. The hairiness of the 
stem and leaves distinguishes it from all the species which have 
been mentioned.

Rootstock not tuberous. Stem bluntly quadrangular, with the 
angles not winged. Leaves ovate-deltoid, with un winged petioles, 
acute, coarsely doubly serrate or crenate-serrate, without lateral 
lobes from the petiole, the lower ones cordate at the base. Flowers 
in dense axillary corymbose cymes arranged in an elongate lax 
panicle. Bracts all like the leaves. Pedicels slender, thicldy 
clothed with long gland-tipped hairs, shorter than the calyx at the 
time of flowering. Divisions of the calyx oblong, without scarious 
margins. Tube of the corolla twice as long as the calyx, urceolate. 
Abortive stamen absent. Capsule ovate-conical, acute. Stem, 
petioles, leaves, and peduncles clothed with jointed glandular 
hairs ; pedicels and calyces with gland-tipped hairs.
