| notes: | The large one (Linaria vulgaris) is growing among heaps of old gypsum moulds in our potter's field and there are a very few of the small-flowered sort growing there also. The flowers are pale yellow with no stripes of any sort as far as I can see, and I have not found the striped toad flax here, so I do not think it can be the hybrid mentioned by Sowerby." Extracted from letter from Mrs Lloyd Edwards, Bryn Oerog, near Raubon, dated Aug 7, 1918. The small-flowered toadflax received with L. vulgaris is apparently the hybrid between that species and the L. repens, Mill., though the latter is not recorded from North Wales. the flowers are pale yellow or almost white, with an orange-coloured palate and a trace of lilac on the upper lip. there are a few gland-tipped hairs on the pedicels and the larger anthers contain little or no pollen.
