raising plants in the nursery at Monkswood Grove, Ayr. ih 
cultivation, the S. parvula attains to twice the size of the in- 
dividuals here represented, which are native specimens, and has 
also many branches springing from the base of the stem. 
This species is doubtless very nearly allied, as Micnaux — 
remarks, to S. minor of our own country: in the latter plant, 
however, the leaves are more decidedly heart-shaped at the 
base, they have also a short petiole, and the whole herb is but 
slightly pubescent, never glandular ; added to which, its flowers 
are of a very different figure, and their colour is a pale pink, 
spotted on the lower lip.
