THE LADIES’ FLOWER-GARDEN 
GENUS IY. 
ANTIRRHINUM, Juss. THE SNAPDRAGON. 
Lin. Syst. DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA. 
Generic Character. —Corolla personate, saccate, or gibbous at the base. Capsule opening by three valvate pores under the apex, rarely 
by two irregular holes.—(G. Don.) 
ANTIRRHINUM GLANDULOSUM, Lindl. THE GLANDULAR SNAPDRAGON. 
Synonyme. —? A. rytidocarpum, Fisch. et Mey. 
Engravings. —Bot. Reg. t. 1893; and onx Jig. 3, in Plate 43. 
Specific Character.— Sprinkled over on every side with glandular 
hairs. Leaves alternate, ovate-lanceolate, narrowed with petioles. 
Raceme of flowers dense and leafy. Lobes of calyx linear-lanceolate, 
unequal_( Lindl.) 
Description, &c. —An upright-growing plant about two feet high, with a very dense, leafy raceme of pink 
flowers, and covered all over with glandular, and somewhat viscid, hairs. The leaves are rather succulent, and 
they are long and lanceolate, narrowing into a petiole at the base. The plant itself is curious as being the only 
snapdragon as yet found truly wild in the New "World. The species is a native of California, where it was 
found by Douglas, and seeds of it sent home in 1825. It is supposed to be the same as A. rytidocarpum , a native 
of Caucasus, the seeds of which were sent to England from St. Petersburgh in 1835 ; but as the flowers of 
A. rytidocarpum are stated to be blue, while those of A. glandulosum are pink, the Russian kind appears more 
likely to be a variety than exactly the same species. The culture is the same as that of the other Californian 
plants, all of which are more injured by heat than cold. 
OTHER ANNUAL SPECIES OF ANTIRRHINUM. 
A. ORONTIUM, Lin .; Eng. Bot. t. 1155, 2d. edit. vol. 5, t. 875. 
This is a British weed commonly called Calves Snout, from a fancied resemblance between the seed-pod and 
the head of an animal. The word Antirrhinum has nearly the same meaning, being compounded of Anti like, 
and Rhin a snout. 
A. CALYCINUM, Lour. 
A Portuguese plant with whitish flowers curiously marked with purple or rose-coloured veins. Introduced 
in 1810. 
A. INDICUM, Hoyle. 
Flowers reddish ; bracteas and floral leaves very long. A native of India, in the province of Delhi. 
GENUS Y. 
LINARIA, Vent. TOAD-FLAX. 
Lin. Syst. DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA. 
Generic Character. —Corolla personate, spurred at the base. Capsule opening by two lids at the top, or by 4—10 tooth-formed, or 
valve-formed parts.—(G. Don.) 
Description, &c.— Many of the species now considered as belonging to this genus were formerly included in 
the genus Antirrhinum. The genera, indeed, only differ very slightly ; in Antirrhinum the corolla is gibbous at
