This Species of Antirrhinum is fo . perfectly diflindt from all the others which grow wild in this countrv, 
that there is no poffibility of miftaking it. It is found in great plenty in all thofe parts near London, that lay 
within the reach of the Thames; the feeds are carried by the flux and reflux of the tide up and down th© 
river, and left at high water mark in the crevices of old walls, where they take root and eucreafe very fall. 
It is fuppofed to have been introduced to us from Italy, whether for the purpofes of ornament or medicine is uncertain. 
The Walls of the Phyfic Garden , at Chelfea, from whence it has probably originated in this country, are 
plentifully covered with it ; it may alfo be found on the Temple Walls, and at the fides of the ft ream runnino - 
tmder Fauxhall T u rnpike. 
In fome fituations the leaves grow- much larger than thofe of the annexed fpecimen.
