SCROPIIULAHlACl^E. 133 
Herbs, with the habit of Antirrhinum, but with the flowers 
smaller, sometimes very small, and always more or less spurred at 
the base. In many of the species, flowers occur with 2, 3, or more 
spurs ; when with 5 spurs and a regular tubular-conical corolla, 
the form is termed Peloria. 
The name of this genus of plants conies from the word linum, flax, to which the 
leaves of some of the species bear resemblance.

Perennial. Stems procumbent, diffusely branched ; branches 
elongated, rooting at the base. Leaves mostly alternate, with 
petioles much longer than the lamina, roundish -reniforrn, cordate, 
5- to 7-lobed ; lobes deltoid-ovoid, obtuse or mucronate. Pedicels 
elongated, often as long as or exceeding the leaves. Calyx- 
segments strapshaped - lanceolate, acute. Corolla three or four 
four times as long as the calyx ; spur much shorter than the 
corolla, blunt, making an obtuse angle with the under side of the 
corolla. Capsule globular, longer than the calyx, opening by two 
3-valved holes. Seeds ovoid, with obtuse prominent irregularly- 
parallel waved ridges. Plant glabrous. 
Perfectly naturalized on old walls and sometimes on rocks 
over the whole of England and the southern half of Scotland. 
[England, Scotland, Ireland.] Perennial. Summer 
and Autumn. 
Stems numerous, 3 inches to 2 feet long, procumbent wher 
growing on the top, but pendent when on the side of a wall, 
purplish, succulent. Leaves ^ to 1 inch across, on petioles exceed-
