106 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
Caesar's Camp Hill, East Wear Bay, and Lyddon Spout ; on the 
undercliff between St. Margaret's Bay and Kingsdown, and on 
Deal sand-hills. 
England. Perennial. Early Summer. 
Stem very stout, brittle, enlarged at the base, 6 to 20 iuches 
high, with numerous scales, yellowish or tinged with pale brownish- 
red. Corolla 1 to 1-J inch long, yellowish or tinged with brownish- 
purple or brownish-red. The flowers are said to have the scent of 
cloves (but this I have never been able to perceive) ; they are less 
erect, more spreading and narrower in proportion, and less enlarged 
towards the tube than in O. liapum, with which it agrees in stature ; 
the bracts are also shorter, very rarely exceeding the flowers. 
Clove-scented Broom-rape. 
German, Nelkendvftende Sommerwurz. 
This species occurs on the roots of the bramble.

with the curvature greatest about the middle ; upper lip deeply 
notched, with the margins inflexed-erect ; lower lip 3-lobed, with 
the lobes nearly equal, all crimped and sharply denticulate. 
Stamens inserted a little above the base of the corolla ; filaments 
hairy on the inner side towards the base, their upper part and the 
whole of the style sub-glabrous. Stigma of 2 contiguous lobes, 
yellow. 
Parasitical on the roots of Ccntaurea scabiosa, Scabiosa arvensis,
