26. Antirrhinum origanifolium: leaves moftly oppofite, 
oblong; flowers alternate. Annual; growing wild on the 
Pyrenees, and near Marfeilles. 
27. Antirrhinum pinnatum: leaves oppofite, pinnatifid ; 
flem eredf, flowers racemed. Found at the Cape by 
Thunberg. 
III. Leaves alternate. 2S. Antirrhinum minus, or 
fmaller toad-flax: leaves moftly alternate, lanceolate, ob- 
tufe; flem very much branched, diffufe. Annual; grow¬

flalk, three feet high, having fmooth fpear-fliaped leaves, 
placed alternately, and fitting clofe to the flalk. The 
flowers are produced at the end of the branches in fhort 
loofe fpikes; thefe are of a deep yellow colour, much 
larger than thofe of the common fort, and fiand upon fhort 
foot-flalks. It flowers in July, but the feeds very rarely 
ripen in England, fo that the plants are feldom feen in any 
gardens here. According to Linnaeus, the flowers pro¬ 
ceed from the axils of the leaves, are folitary and pedun- 
cled. A native of Crete, alfoof Armenia, whence it was 
known to Cafpar Bauhin, in 1594. 
30. Antirrhinum hirtum, or hairy toad-flax : leaves lan¬

with the palate orange, villofe; in a thick terminal fpike. 
It grows wild in Europe on banks by road-fides, and in 
dry paflures; flowering from June to Augufl. In Wor- 
ceflerfhire it is called butter-and-eggs, Gerard names it 
i vild-jlaxe, tode-Jlaxe, and Jlaxe-iuecde. It has thefe appel¬ 
lations from the fimilitude of the leaves to thofe of flax. 
It abounds in an acrid oil, that is almofl empyreumatic. 
Given inwardly, it excites a naufea, purges, and provokes 
urine. It is recommended in hydropical cafes, but Haller 
and otlrers do not much approve of it. The juice, mixed 
with milk, is a poifon to flies. The diftilled water or 
juice of the plant, put into the eyes, is faid to take away 
inflammations: but it is moft approved, ufed as a cata- 
plafm, with lard, in the piles.

Siberia. »■ 
IV. Leaves none. 39. Antirrhinum aphyllum: a ca¬ 
pillary fcape. This is a very lingular plant, and has no 
appearance of an herb, but would rather be taken for a 
kind of mofs, and is not bigger than that. It has not even 
any radical leaves. Found near the Cape by Thunberg. 
V. Corollas gaping or tailiefs. 40. Antirrhinum ma- 
jus, or great toad-flax or fnap-dragon: corollas tailiefs,.

and Gravefcnd, &c. but not originally of this country. It 
flowers in June and July. In Ruffia they exprefs an oil 
from the feeds, little inferior to oil of olives. 
41. Antirrhinum orontium, or fmall toad-flax or calves- 
fnout: corollas tailiefs, flowers fubfpiked, calyxes longer 
than the corolla. This refentbles the great fnap-dragon 
in many refpedts. It is a poifonous plant: and is fnffici- 
ently diftinguiflied from the great fnap-dragon in being 
fmaller and annual, and by having long pointed leaves to 
the calyx. A native of England, and raofl parts of Eu¬ 
rope, growing in corn-fields and vineyards, efpecially in x

the ground ; thefe have leaves like thofe of ground-ivy, 
which grow by pairs : at the wings of the leaves the flow¬ 
ers come out fingly on each fide the flalk; they are draped 
like thofe of fnap-dragon, but have a long tube ; are of a. 
worn-out purple colour at the top, but below of an her¬ 
baceous colour. Thefe come out in June, and the feeds,

callufes ; leaves alternate, pinnate; flem panicled. Found 
near the Cape by Thunberg. 
VI. Corollas gaping. 46. Antirrhinum bellidifolium, 
or daify-leaved toad-flax: root-leaves tongue-fhaped,
