(L. maculatum. Under this designation we have to consider the plant 
figured and described in E. Bot. 2550; “Leaves heart-shaped, 
pointed, deeply serrated; whorls ten-flowered:” and also another 
variety : both having recently been admitted into the British Flora. 
The former of these, originally discovered by Lady Vaughan, beside the lane 
leading directly from Redland Court to the garden, (close to the garden 
wall,) and shown by her ladyship in that station, (the only one known in 
these Islands,) to the Editor several years ago, has since been brought 
under constant observation. We have the best authority for believing 
this plant to be L. maculatum of Linnaeus, though it would appear from 
his general description that the species so named was intended to com¬ 
prehend both our varieties. It is likewise undoubtedly the Lamium 
which prevails in the south of Europe, to the exclusion of L. album , with 
which it must be allowed to stand in intimate alliance. “ The whole of 
the plant accords much with L. album and again, “ habit like that of 
L. album says Smith : and, (with the exception of the purple flowers, 
and fewer of them in a whorl,) “ in other respects very like L. album.'* 
Hooker. Ludwig Ect. t. 162, except in colour, well represents our plant. 
Rivinus describes it, but without distinguishing it, as a species, from 
L. album. It may likewise be recognized in the description of Schkuhr. 
* The young leaves both of this and the preceding species may be eaten with other pot¬ 
herbs. Goats, sheep, and horses eat it; cows refuse it. [Phalcena chrysitis feeds on these 
plants. E.)
